CvPELLA Herhertiana, covered with a few leaves, was uninjured at SpofForth. 



DuRANTA cyanea was killed in the Society's Garden, after surviving three or 

 four winters. 



DuvAUAS. The various species were in some places killed entirely ; at Carclew, 

 the main stem of one species only was safe. In the Society's Garden, D. 

 latifblia was destroyed on a south wall, D. dentaia, and dependens, were cut 

 to the ground, but D. ovata was unharmed. 



EccREMoCARrus scober was generally killed. At Carclew, in a border where 

 it was trained over a low coping, and along the front of a terrace-wall, facing 

 the east, it was killed ; while at the distance of only a few feet, where it was 

 trained against the trellis of a bastion, in a dry situation, it remained alive 

 and vigorous. 



Ehretia serrata has been growing several years in the Society's Garden. 

 Tliis winter it was killed to the ground on a south wall, but sprang up 

 again. 



Erythrina Crista-galli survived at Cambridge ; and at Claremont, and Drop- 

 more, at the bottom of a wall, in front of a stove ; but at the latter place 

 others perished at the foot of a greenhouse. 



EscALLONiA rubra was killed in Hampshire, with protection ; elsewhere in- 

 jured, but not destroyed. At Carclew, and in South Wales, but slightly 

 injured. E. moiitivedensis was generally killed. E. glandulosa was found at 

 Singleton to be the hardiest of the genus. In the Society's Garden, it and 

 E. rubra were killed to the ground, but sprang up again vigorously ; all the 

 rest perished. 



EuxENiA Mifiqui, after living many years on a south wall, was killed in the 

 Society's Garden. 



Fuchsias. Where these were a little protected, although killed to the ground, 

 they generally sprang up again from the root ; in South Wales they were 

 but slightly injured. At Carclew, all were killed down to the ground, ex- 

 cept F. gracilis and virgata. F. discolor alone survived at Glasgow, and this 

 kind proved the most hardy in the Society's Garden. 



Heimia salicifolia was cut to the ground at SpofForth, but not'killed. At Fal- 

 mouth it was uninjured. 



Jaborosa integrifolia, which for several years had covered a yard square of a 

 hothouse border, was entirely destroyed at Glasgow. 



Kageneckia cratczgifolia was killed on a south wall in the Society's Garden. 



LiMNOCHARis Humboldtii, which had lived in the pond at Skett}', through the 

 winter of 1836-37, and which flowered beautifully, was killed. 



LiTHREA caustica perished on a south wall in the Society's Garden. 



Lobelia Tw^a was generally saved; it was, however, killed at Spofforth, where 

 it had lived many years. 



Maytenus chilensis was killed on a south wall in the Society's Garden, after 

 having stood 8 or 10 winters. 



NicoTiANA glauca was killed on a south wall in the Society's Garden. 



Passiflora ccsridea stood badly. In the Society's Garden, and many other 

 places, it was killed entirely ; at Owston, and Singleton, it was cut down 

 to within a few feet of the ground ; at Sketty, it was not materially in- 

 jured. P. ccBrideo-racemosa, palmata, and adiantifoUa, were killed at Car- 

 clew. 

 Pernettia mucronata was killed in the Society's Garden ; but it, and pilosa, 

 lived at Somerford and Birmingham ; and another species, from Valdivia' 

 is reported to have survived in the Botanic Garden of the latter town. 

 Physianthus albens was killed at Cambridge ; to the ground at Liverpool ; 

 and was unhurt at Glasnevin. 



PoRLiERiA hygrometrica was killed, under a verandah, at SpofForth. 



Prosopis siliqiiastrum, Psoralea glandulosa, old plants on a south wall, pe- 

 rished in the Society's Garden. 

 PsiDiUM Cattleianum, trained against the front wall of the stove, and protected 

 by a mat, lived at Carciew ; some of its leaves became rusty, like those
