" Tubers of a new tropseolum were received last year by several cultivators 

 from Chili, and imagined the blue-flowered species till they blossomed in the 

 present spring," when the plant proved to be T. edule. The leaves of this 

 species, which are divided into numerous narrow glaucous segments, distinguish 

 it from all the other species. " The flowers (that is, the exterior of the calyx) 

 have a deep greenish hue while in bud, and, when opened, the petals are of a 

 very showy and bright orange colour. It is, when properly grown, a handsome 

 plant ; and will form a fine intermediate species between T. tricolorum and bra- 

 chyceras, coming into flower at nearly the same period. If the tubers be not 

 duly covered with soil, or the pot in which they are grown be too small, or an 

 insufficiency of water be supplied, the plant is very apt to die off in dry 

 weather before having opened half its flowers." {Paxt. Mag. of Bot., July.)

This pretty species of O'xalis was discovered by Mr. Tweedie in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. The leaves are glabrous, and 

 the flowers are of a bright pink, verging on rose colour, being produced in great 

 abundance in a greenhouse. (Bot. Mag., March.)

" This beautiful acacia compensates for the absence of leaves in the quantity 



and rich colour of its heads of flowers." It is a greenhouse plant, and a 



peculiarly free flowerer. ( Bot. Mag., March.)

This species was accidentally omitted some years since in the extracts from 

 the botanical periodicals inserted in the Gard. Mag., and it is one of those now 

 included in the new genus Zichya. It is a greenhouse climber, producing its 

 scarlet blossoms in great abundance. (Bot. Mag., July.)

" A pretty greenhouse shrub, very nearly hardy." The flowers are pink, 

 and in ball-like heads, like those of the sensitive plant. " It grows well in a 

 mixture of light loam and leaf mould, and may be readily propagated by cut- 

 tings in the usual manner." (Bot. Reg., June.)

This is a new Californian annual, of a stiff erect habit of growth, and 

 densely covered with leaves and pinkish flowers. It is quite hardy, and 

 requires no other care than sowing the seeds in some place where it is not 

 exposed to the wind ; because its roots are scarcely able to keep the heavy 

 stem erect, if the latter is much blown about. (Bot. Beg., Feb.),
