 short: but La Billardiere expressly writes it Chorizema ; and Sir J. Smith 

 himself, in a subsequent publication, gives the preference to De Theis's deriva- 

 tion, though he thinks it rather alludes to the free or separated stamens, than 

 to the splitting of the fruit." {Bat. Mag.^ Oct.)

This plant is evidently a species of Clianthus, from which it differs princi- 

 pally in the colour of its flowers, which are pink instead of scarlet. It grows 

 best in a rich strong soil, in the free ground, and only requires protection from 

 frost. It is easily propagated by cuttings. {Bot. Reg., Sept.)

This is an evergreen plant, about 2 ft. high, loaded with rich purple flowers, 



which it retains during the whole of the months of March and April, when 



gay-flowering plants in pots are particularly desirable. {Paxt. Mag. of Bot., 



June.)

" There appears to be little difference between this and M. floribunda, except 



in the very short lucid retuse leaves, deeper flowers, and more hairy calyxes \ 



and branches of the latter, which is a Swan River shrub of greater beauty 



than this." {Bot. Reg., Oct.)

This very beautiful species is nearly allied to Z. tricolor, but " it is readily 

 distinguished by having stronger stems, which are clothed with brown hairs to 

 their summits ; shorter, rounder, thicker, and more prominently nerved leaves, 

 the stalks of which are also covered with brown pubescence ; a prominent 

 dark-velvety down on the calyxes, and denser heads of flowers." It grows 

 best in loamy soil, and should have abundance of pot room. It looks best 

 trained round a cylindrical trellis. {Paxt. Mag. of Bot., Aug.)

A very splendid species, nearly allied to several of the other kinds imported 



from the East, which Dr. Lindley thinks " may be all one and the same thing, 



modified by soil and situation." It is quite hardy, and flowers all the summer.

A hybrid rose of " a very vigorous habit, with thick, glossy, dark green 

 foliage, and producing a profusion of flowers." The petals are more thick and 

 fleshy than in roses in general ; and the flower, which is very large, is cream- 

 coloured, deepening into a pale yellow in the centre. The whole stock of 

 this rose is in the nursery of Lucombe, Pince, and Co., Exeter. {Paxt. Mag.
