Z?ANUNcuLA x cEiE. — Clematis califomica 1 A species appa- 

 rently related to C. florida. 



Winter^cs^s. — Illicium religibsum Sieb. ? Introduced in 

 2 8*1, but from whence is uncertain. Leaves alternate, ovate, 

 smooth, entire, thick. Flowers white, large, produced from the 

 axils of the leaves, and resembling those of Eugenza australis, 

 but much larger. A fine half-hardy evergreen, easily grafted on 

 I. floridanum. 



Magu oli J CEJE. — Magnolia, hybrida Hort. A pretty dwarf 

 deciduous species, fit for a wall in a small gai'den. Obviously 

 closely allied to M. purpurea. 



M. grandiflbra var. Hartaicus Hort. A Continental variety, 

 raised between M. grandiflora exoniensis and M. fuscata. Very 

 scarce. Hardy. 



Berberi'deje. — Berberis. Several species have come up 

 from seeds received from Dr. Royle, but of which it is yet 

 impossible to give any proper description. 



CAPPARiDA v cEiE. — Isomeris califomica. (I. arborea Nutt. Toi> 

 rey and Gray's Flora, vol. i. p. 124.; Bot. Mag., n. ser. t. 3842.) 

 Said to be a handsome plant, fitted for a wall, with slight pro- 

 tection. 



jFZypERiCA v cEiE. — Wypericum vosmarinifblium Lam. Diet. Tor. 

 and Gray, vol. i. p. 159. A pretty narrow-leaved species, from 

 Kentucky, proper for a wall. 



Ampeia'dem. — Vitis pa)v folia Royle's Illust. p. 145. A 

 very curious species of vine, from elevated situations in the Hima- 

 layas, with exceedingly small leaves for the family to which it 

 belongs. Calculated for a miniature arboretum. Introduced two 

 or three years ago, and likely to prove a useful addition to our 

 climbers. 



V. heterophylla Sieb. ? A beautiful and very desirable climber, 

 from Japan, with variegated leaves. Introduced here in 1841. 



^ouifolia v ce;e, — Ylex latifblia Hort. A fine species, with 

 very large oval leaves, introduced from the Continent in 1841. 

 I cannot say whether or not it is hardy. There is another 

 species, called I. /aurifolia, in cultivation in the nurseries: I have 

 not seen it; but, from description, I am inclined to think it the 

 same as the above. 



Leguminous je. — Sophora grandiflbra ? Introduced in 1 841, 

 from the Continent. It will prove a good plant for the con- 

 servative wall. 



Indigqfera nepalensis ?. A free-growing shrub, and appa- 

 rently hardy. 



Kennedy^, splendens Bot. Reg. This plant is very hardy, and, 

 I believe, will be found to be a fit subject for a conservative wall, 

 with slight protection, or perhaps without any.
