4 N'e'w hardy Trees and Shrubs 



comes nearest to C. Juxifolia, with rather larger leaves, which 

 are covered thickly on the under side and margin with a dense 

 white tomentum. It was raised in the garden from seeds, sent to 

 the Society by Dr. Falconer, from the Saharunpore Botanic 

 Garden. 



Cotoneaster denticiddta H. et B. vol. vi. t. 556. This distinct 

 species was raised from seeds collected by M. Hartweg, the 

 Society's collector in Mexico; and, as the Society has distributed 

 a large quantity of the seeds to the Fellows of the Society, it will 

 soon become common. It is probably not so hardy as the other 

 species of Cotoneaster, not one of which was killed by the winter 

 of 1837-8 in the Society's garden. 



Philadelpha^ce^. — Deutz\2i corymhbsa Lindl., Bot. Reg. 

 Miscell. No. 49. 1839. This I mentioned in my report of last 

 year (Vol. XIV. p. 582.) under the name of D. canescens Sieholdt; 

 but, when the plants flowered in the Society's collection, they 

 proved to be the same as D. corymbosa Royle, figured in Royle's 

 Illustrations, plate 46. fig. 2. 



GROSSULA^CEiE. — Ribes [_GrossuIan'a'] hzmalaT/anuum Koy\e, 

 This was raised from seeds presented to the Society by Dr. 

 Royle, and seems hardly different from the R. Grossularia. 



jS'axifra^ge^. — Hydrangea altissima Wall. This curious 

 species was raised in the garden of the Society, from seeds sent 

 by Dr. Falconer, the superintendant of the Hon. E. I. Comp. 

 Botanic Garden at Saharunpore ; but the plants are too small 

 at present for me to say more than to record its introduction. 



Capri folia^cEjE§ Lonice^RjB^. — Lo7iicera.Ledebotirn Eschsch. 

 This very distinct species comes nearest to the L. involucrata, 

 but is quite distinct ; it has much smaller leaves, and yellower 

 flowers. The plant was received from Messrs. Booth. 



Qaprifoliuyn [sempervlrens) Brownn. This is a fine variety 

 of the trumpet honeysuckle raised by Messrs. Brown of Slough, 

 and which, I think, should bear their name, as indicating the 

 place of its origin. It has larger and rather brighter flowers 

 than the common one, and, as a variety, is a great acquisition. 



-Erica^ceje. — Andromeda Drummondu ? Hooher. This dis- 

 tinct species was given to the Society by Mr. J. Cunningham of 

 Edinburgh. It is rather a slender-growing plant, with the young 

 leaves covered, as well as the young shoots, with a scurf like 

 those of an jGlaeagnus. 



A'rbutus specibsa Dickson. This beautiful species has long, 

 lanceolate, finely serrated leaves, glaucous on the under side, 

 and bright green on the upper. It will probably form a large 

 bush, or small tree. It was raised in the garden of the Society, 

 from seeds, presented by G. F. Dickson, Esq. F.H.S., collected 

 in Mexico.
