Transactiom of the London Horticulhiral Soeiety. 495 



Tritoma media was killed at SpofForth ; T. BiurcUelliana was unhurt. 

 Teucrium fruticans. This pretty free flowering evergreen shrub, nailed to the 



front of the greenhouse at Carclew, was only killed back to the old wood. 

 Erica. Of all the Cape species, which had been turned out in the open 



ground, the only species which are returned as having survived, at Carclew,, 



are E. concinna and gracilis, where they were protected by a covering of mats.. 



At Falmouth, in Mr. Fox's garden, E. verticillata, colorans, gracilis, baccans. 



and favoides were killed, but E, flammea, tuUflora, IcEvis and abietina stood 



the frost. 

 Eriocephalus africanus, Muraltia mixta, CEdeea prolifera, Polygala, 



latifolia, myrtifolia, grandiflora, speciosa, Psoralea pinnata, and Struthiola, 



erecta, all died in Mr. Fox's Falmouth garden. 

 Arctotis aureola and maculata. Brum a ericoides, Gazania rigens, Gnidia 



simplex and jffava, Hermannia plicata, hirsuta and^ammea, Leonotis Leo- 



nuriis, Meltanthus major, Pentzia flabelliformis, Plumbago capensisy 



Salvia aurea, Sparmannia africana, Struthiola ovata, all lived without 



injury at Falmouth, in Mr. Fox's garden. 



SOUTH OF EUROPE, LEVANT, and NORTH OF AFRICA, 



WITH ADJACENT IsLANDS. 



Amygdalus orientalis was killed in the Garden of the Society,, but escaped at 

 Cambridge, 



Aristolochia sempervirens was uninjured at Cambridge.. 



Arbutus Unedo. This tree was affected very differently in different places;, 

 in the warm gardens in the midland counties, especially about London, it 

 was either destroyed, or nearly so, but at Owston, and elsewhere in the 

 north, and at Sevenoaks, where the cold was particularly intense, it was un-. 

 injured ; at Sketty, every plant which was exposed to the east, suffered 

 severely, and many were killed ; at Claremont, trees 23 feet high and 2 feet ia, 

 circumference, were entirely destroyed. In the Society's Garden every 

 specimen perished, either wholly, or as far as the ground, but a hybrid 

 variety between this species and A. Andrachne escaped unhurt, both in the 

 latter place, at North Stoneham, and at Sketty. A. Andraclme was killed 

 in the midland and northern counties, but not in the southern; at Drop- 

 more, a plant growing against a south wall, was found quite dead ; but Mr. 

 Forbes reports from Woburn, that his plant is only injured at the extremity 

 of the young shoots. In the Society's Garden, and at Owston, this species, 

 would not have died had not the stock of Arbutus Unedo, upon which it 

 was grafted, been killed. 



Asparagus scandens was killed to the ground in the Garden of the Society, bufc 

 pushed up again vigorously. 



Atriplex portulacoides, a British plant, was killed in the Society's Garden. 



Buxus balearica was uninjured at Sketty, at Penllargare, at Owston, and about 

 London. 



Bumelia tenax was killed in the Society's Garden ; but not injured at 

 Abbotsbury. 



'BwiJEV'RVM. fruticosum was scarcely affected near London, and to the south, 

 but at Cambridge it was killed, and it is well known to be a tender plant in 

 the midland counties. At Owston it was much injured. 



CiSTUSEs were killed in almost all places, with the exception of the gum cistus, 

 which occasionally escaped ; in the Society's Garden, the whole collection, 

 among which were many plants 8 or 10 years old, were destroyed. C. lau- 

 rtfolius was uninjured at Spofforth ; at Singleton, Mr. Vivian lost all but 

 laurifolius and corboriensis ; at Sketty, laurifoliiis was the only species that 

 remained entirely unhurt, and next to that species corboriensis was least 

 injured ; at Abbotsbury C. salvifolius and purpureus perished, but C. villosus, 

 laurifolius, cyprius, and creticus were uninjured ; in Norfolk, in Hampshire, in 

 Kent, and the neighbouring counties, the collections of this genus were 

 almost annihilated.
