A very beautiful plant, with deeply cut leaves, and blue flowers, tinged with 

 pink in the centre. Seeds of it were introduced by Capt. Mangles in 1837, 

 and given by him to Messrs. Henderson, Pine-apple Place, Edgware Road, 

 in whose green-house it blossomed for the first time in August, 1839. " It 

 begins branching within about 6 in. of the roots, and proceeds to the height 

 of 3 or 4 feet, forming a regular bush of conical shape." It is grown in 

 turfy loam, mixed with a very little silver sand, and it is propagated by cut- 

 tings, which require care, as they are rather apt to drop off. A few seeds 

 have been ripened, which should be sown on a gentle hot-bed, and the young 

 plants pricked out in the seed leaf. {Paxt Mag. of Bot., June.)

This splendid annual should be raised on a slight hot-bed ; the seeds being 

 sown in pots filled with a mixture of old lime rubbish, and well-rotted dung, 

 or decayed leaf mould, and fully exposed to the sun. It should be kept in a 

 sheltered place; for, although it will grow tolerably well if planted in the open 

 border, the flowers are so delicate, that, in such situations, they are much 

 damaged by the wind and rain." (Bot. Reg., June.)

A shrubby green-house plant, with very pretty close bunches of scarlet 

 flowers, with a pale pink centre. The flowers are smaller and closer together 

 than those of B. triphylia, and the leaves are much narrower, yet it will pro- 

 bably prove only a variety of that species. It was raised from seeds received 

 from Mexico, by Mr. Low of the Clapton Nursery, in 1838, and flowered in 

 August and September, 1839. Mr. Pax ton recommends growing it in a
