dentifera Benth. tooth-bearing ^ \ ) or ap Y Swan River 1839. C s.l.p. Botanist, 179. 



This species is a native of the colony of the Swan River, where it was 

 found by Mr. James Drummond. " It is nearly allied to the A. saligna of La- 

 billardiere, but the leaves are much narrower, and the form of the calyx is 

 very peculiar." The specific name of " tooth-bearing" alludes " to the tooth- 

 like remains of the stipules." (^Botanist, Aug.)

carin^tum Benth. keeled _^ i 14 my R King George's Sound 1839. C s.l.p. Botanist, 183. 



This pretty Australian plant has rich crimson flowers, and a slender climb- 

 ing stem, which however does not extend very far. The pod is the most re- 

 markable feature, as it is " from half an inch to three quarters long, much 

 swollen, and very hairy." It is one of a new genus founded by Mr. Bentham, 

 and of which three or four species are already known. It flowers and seeds 

 freely. The following appear to be the principal points in which it diflfers from 

 its allied genera. " The colour and form of the flower are those of a Zichya, 

 but the peduncles are few-flowered and loosely dichotomous, not umbellate, 

 and the pod is inflated as in Crotalaria or Baptisia. The inflorescence is 

 that of a true Kennedya, but the form of the flower, as well as the pod, are 

 very different." (^Botanist, Sept.) 



2066, TRIFO^LIUM 18530 involucratum. 



This plant, or a variety of it, has been raised from Mexican seeds sent 

 home by M. Hartweg, and found to produce numerous heads of lemon-co- 

 loured flowers, instead of pale purple, as stated in Hort. Brit., p. 299.

+ Hardenbergia. digitdta Lindl. is " a handsome green-house twiner, raised 

 from Swan River seeds by Mr. Toward, under whose skilful management so 

 many new species have been introduced." (^B. M. R., No. 142., Sept.) 



Rosacea;. 



SpircB'-a rotundifdlia Lindl. A species the seeds of which were received 

 from Cashmere, and which, though it has not flowered, appears to Dr. Lind- 

 ley evidently to belong " to the same division as S. vacciniifolia." {B. M. R., 

 No. 159., Sept.) 



Schizonotus tovientosus Lindl. j *S'pirse^a \Ax\A\eydna Wall. This new genus 

 has been formed by Dr. Lindley on this species and S. ^orbifolia. The generic 

 name, which signifies split-back, alludes to " the remarkable cohesion of the 

 carpels into a 5-celled capsule, whose cells split open at the back for the escape 

 of the seeds ;" and it is on this character that the genus is founded. (J?. M. R., 

 No. 136., Sept.)

A soft-wooded green-house shrub," flowering in winter, but principally in 

 the latter end of January and the beginning of February (see p. 293,). The 

 flowers are very abundant, but they do not differ materially from the common 

 annual kinds. {Bot. Reg., July.)

A curious plant, from the bright green warts produced on the margin of its 

 sepals and bractea. It is a green-house climber of easy culture, nearly allied 

 to P. incarnata and P. edulis ; and it " will grow with great luxuriance if 

 planted in the border of the conservatory. The soil which suits it best is rich 

 loam,' mixed with peat and sand. It can be multiplied freely by cuttings."
