One of the beautiful hybrid corraeas raise! by Mr. Milner of Stockwell, 

 which is now in the hands of Messrs. Lucorabe, Pince, and Co., of the 

 Exeter Nursery. This plant is " less luxuriant and robust than most other 

 hybrids, and is far more probfic in flowers." It was one of the first reared. 

 It is generally propagated by grafting on C.?speci6sa or C. pulchella, at not 

 more than 3 in. from the base of the stem, and keeping the plants in a slight 

 heat. Ordinary grafting is found to succeed better than inarching. (Paxf. 

 Mag. of Bot., October.)

" A Swan River climber, raised by Mr. Toward, in the garden of H. R. H. 

 the Duchess of Gloucester, at Bagshot. It is clearly distinguished from all 

 the previously discovered species of the genus, by its leaflets growing in fives, 

 and not in threes." In England it forms a free-growing and abundant blos- 

 soming green-house climber, with small purple flowers, which it produces in 

 April. " The best soil is loam and peat mixed with a quantity of sand. It 

 strikes readily from cuttings." (^Bot. Reg., October.)

[vii. p. 199. 



A very handsome betel-like plant, seeds of which were procured by Mr. 

 Lowe from Mr. Drummond, collector at the Swan River. " The species is 

 quite an ornamental one. It has several main stems, around which an inde- 

 finite quantity of suckers arise, each bearing a terminal spike of blossoms 

 when not more than a foot high. A rather rich loam, and an airy place in 

 the green-house, are the main things necessary in its treatment." (Paxt. Mag. 

 of Bot., October.)
