 Synonyme : Hoya coriScea Lindl. (See Vol. XV. p. 244.) 



This plant was " made the basis of a new genus by Mr. Bennett," not only 

 on account of some points of difference from Hoya in the construction of the 

 flower, but also because it does not send out roots from the stem, and its 

 flower does not secrete a saccharine juice, (^Botanist, July.)

A beautiful plant of very easy culture, as it strikes readily from layers or 

 cuttings, and grows freely from seeds, when they can be procured. It will 

 grow well in any garden soil, but prefers a mixture of loam, peat, and sand, and 

 it appears very nearlj;- hardy. The flowers are of a bright golden yellow, and 

 the species is nearly allied toB. Eequinoctialis. (^Bot. Reg., August.)

 Bonpland's work, PlantcB ceqiiinoctiales, vol. ii., and in our Arb. Brit., vol. iv., 

 and two more species not yet figured, have been sent home by Hartweg, of 

 which details will be given in our succeeding Floricultural Notices. 



ConifercB. 



'Pinus filifoUa. Seeds of this magnificent new species, found by M. Hartweg 

 in Guatemala, have been received by the Horticultural Society, but it is 

 to be feared that it will not prove hardy. The leaves of this species are longer 

 than those of any other previously discovered ; and the branches are as stout, 

 or stouter than those of P. palustris {P. australis Michx. and Arb. Brit,^.
