sjoectdUlw Benth. A beautiful species with glaucous leaves, and erect 

 racemes of deep yellow balls of flowers. Introduced from the Swan River by 

 Messrs. Lucombe, Pince, and Co. of Exeter. {Bot. Reg., May, 1843, Misc.) 



2072. INDIGO'FERA [reg. 1843, 14. 



stachyodes imd^. fong^-spiked S^ i I or 6 s L.C North-east of India 1839. C r m Bot. 



The seeds of this plant were collected at Bhotan, in the north-east of India, 

 4000 feet above the level of the sea. It forms a handsome greenhouse shrub, 

 flowering nearly all the summer, and it is increased by cuttings of the young 

 wood. {Bot. Reg., March, 1843.) 



Dosua Don Dosua S i_J or 6 s Pk Nepal 1840. C r m Bot. reg. 1842, 57. 

 This is a very pretty species of Indigofera, with abundance of deep rose- 

 coloured flowers mingled with the leaves. It appears almost hardy enough to 

 stand in the open border, and there is no doubt that in Devonshire and 

 Cornwall it would be quite hardy and very ornamental. It grows best in a 

 rich soil. {Bot. Reg., Oct. 1842.)

Spirts^a fissa Lindl. This hardy shrub, which was supposed to be new, 

 flowered in November, 1841, and proves to be the same as the iSpirse'a ar- 

 gentea of Mr. Bentham. As, however, there is another jS'piras^a argentea, 

 this plant will probably retain its specific name of fissa, which alludes to the 

 appearance of the leaves when young, as they seem to be split up into nu- 

 merous coarse teeth. {Bot. Reg., Jan. 1842, Misc.) 



Sieversia. eldta Royle. A hardy herbaceous plant from Nepal. The flowers 

 are large and hand.some, and they are produced in panicles of three or four 

 flowers each. {Bot. Reg., July, 1842, Misc.)

alpestris Ga»-rf. mountain ±\ | or 20 su S Brazil 1841. C l.p Bot. mag. 3099. 



This very distinct and elegant species of Fuchsk was found by Mr. Gardner, 

 during his last visit to the Organ Mountains. The flowers are of the same 

 shape as those of F. coccinea, but they are smaller, and the sepals are of a 

 bright rose colour, with dark purple petals. The leaves are very handsome, 

 being entire, with a long point, and densely pubescent ; the margins are slightly 

 revolute ; and, in the old leaves, the margin, midriffs, and large veins are dark 

 red. {Bot. Mag., Feb. 1843). 



splendens Zucc. splendid _| or G su S.G Mexico 1841. C r.m Bot. reg. 1842, 67. 



The flowers of this species bear considerable resemblance to those of 

 F. fulgens, but they have much shorter tubes ; and the stamens, which pro- 

 ject a good way beyond the mouth of the corolla, have large pale yellow 

 anthers. " When very young, the foliage and lengthening branches are quite 

 hoary with down. It is a native of Mexico, where it was found 10,000 feet 

 above the level of the sea ; so that it is probable it will prove the hardiest 

 of its race." {Bot. Reg., Dec. 1842.) 



GODE'TIA [61. 



grsmdiabrai Lindl. large-flowered O or 2 j.au Pk California 1838. S co Bot. reg. 1842, 



This is a very handsome annual, with very large flowers of a peculiarly 

 delicate texture, which bear some resemblance to those of G. rosea-alba, 

 but are much handsomer. The plant formed a bush of about 2 ft. high, and 

 is well deserving of cultivation ; but, unfortunately, no seeds were saved 

 of it. {Bot. Reg., Nov. 1842.)
