In the Hortus Britannicus, following the description of Baron Jacquin, the 

 colour of the flower is marked as pale red ; but in the Botanical Magazine it is 

 represented yellow. Sir W. J. Hooker notices this discrepancy, but says that 

 the plant he has figured is, notwithstanding, " unquestionably the 0. polymorpha 

 of Zuccarini." (Bot. Mag., Sept.)

This beautiful Chinese shrub, though so long introduced, is said by Dr. 

 Lindley to have resisted "all attempts to flower it until September, 1838, 

 when its beautiful clusters were produced abundantly in the green-house at 

 Redleaf." It will succeed best in a house where the temperature is something 

 below that of a common damp stove. The soil should be fresh and rich ; for 

 example, peat, loam, and decayed manure. Layers or cuttings." (Bot Reg., 

 Sept.)

This beautiful species, which has been already mentioned, and named in the 

 miscellany to the Botanical Register, was introduced in 1837, from the Swan 

 River, under the name of " Native Pea." It is very showy in its flowers, and 

 Dr. Lindley observes that two or three varieties have been raised from seed 

 which differ slightly in the leaves. In Paxtorts Magazine it is stated to be 

 known in the nurseries under the names of C. latifolium and C. elegans. It is 

 a vigorous-growing plant, and cuttings of the half-ripened wood strike easily. 

 Those from the central shoots should be preferred, as plants raised from the 

 side branches are likely to take their habits, which is rather straggling and un- 

 symmetrical. (Bot. Reg., and Paxton's Mag. of Bot. for Sept.)

The genus Zichya having been formed by Baron Hugel out of the old genus 

 Kennedy^, in compliment to the Princess Metternich, whose maiden name was 

 the Countess Molly Zichy-Ferraris (see Bot. Reg., 1. c), Dr. Lindley takes 

 occasion, while recording this pretty new species, to enumerate the species of 

 which the genus Zichya consists. These are Z. inophylla, dilatata, glabrata, 

 coccinea, M6%, tricolor, and angustifolia ; the first three of which are well 

 known in the nurseries under their old name of Kennedya. Z. tricolor is a
