species from the colder regions of the Himalaya Mountains, correspond with 

 the European I. Nolitangere, in the forms and dehiscence of their capsules ; 

 that is, they split from the base, rolling the segments towards the apex, while 

 those of the warmer regions split from the apex, and roll their segments to- 

 wards the base." {Bot. Iie§., Feb.)

 1188. FU'CHS/^ migens globbsa Bot. Reg. 1840, 2. 



A very handsome hybrid, raised from seeds of F. globosa fecundated with 



the pollen of F. fulgens, and " completely intermediate between the two 



. parents." " It was raised by Mr. John Standish, nurseryman, Bagshot." 



It is an " exceedingly free bloomer, witii a stiff, erect habit of growth," and 



the whole " plant is very handsome." (^Bot, Reg., Jan.)

coryrabbsa R. Br. corymb -fowering Sk or 5 jn W Nepal 1838. C co Bot. reg. 1840, 5. 



A very beautiful species of Deutzza, forming a handsome bush 4 or 5 feet 

 high, covered with a profusion of white, lemon-scented flowers, in loose 

 corymbs. The plant grows well in the open border; but it may be forced in 

 the same manner as Persian lilacs, &c., and it is a valuable plant for that pur- 

 pose. It was introduced by Mr. H. Low of Clapton, who received it from 

 Dr. Von Sieboldt ; and there are plants in the Horticultural Society's Garden. 

 Dr. Lindley considers the D. parviflora of Bunge to be hardly distinct from 

 this species. (Bot. Beg., Jan.)

Not very handsome, but fragrant ; and apparently as hardy as P. caerulea. 

 The seeds were sent home by Mr. Tweedie in 1837; but the plant did not 

 flower till July, 1839. {Bot. Mag., Jan.)

Very nearly allied to B. triphylla, but of freer growth, and with much more 

 splendid flowers. The leaves are also more scabrous, longer, and more acumi- 

 nated; and the style is exserted. The native country of this species is not 

 known with certainty, but it is probably Mexico. Mr. James M'Nab has not 

 been able to propagate it by cuttings, " but has found it very easily increased 

 by slips from the roots not i in. long, and covered so as to leave the upper 

 extremities, only, exposed, and level with the surface." (Bot. Mag., Feb.)

A very showy tuberous-rooted plant, a native of Mexico ; resembling in 

 general appearance E. heterophylla. It requires protection during winter; 

 but, " from the appearance of the roots, it is probable that they might be pre- 

 served like dahlia and mirabilis roots, by being stowed away dry in a cellar.

 the height or native country of the plant. {B. M. R., No. 17,, Feb.)
