most of the other species of Rondeletj'a have red and yellow flowers. This 

 plant is highly worthy of cultivation. It flowered, for the first time in 

 England, in the stove in Mr. Veitch's nursery near Exeter. The flowers 

 have an agreeahle smell, like those of the Auricula. {Bot. Mag., and Paxt. 

 Mag. ofBot., Nov. 1842.)

This is a pretty little plant with small lively-looking flowers. A native of 

 the Organ Mountains in Brazil, whence it was introduced by Messrs. Veitch 

 and Son of Exeter. {Paxt. Mag. of Bot., March, 1843.) 



RJiodostoma gardenioides Scheid. A little inconspicuous bush allied to 

 Gardenia. {Bot. Reg., May, 1843, Misc.) 



Habrothminus fasciculdtus Endl. This very handsome shrub. Dr. Lindley 

 tells us, is in the possession of M. Van Houtte of Ghent. " It forms a 

 bush 3 or 6 ft. high, with broad ovate-oblong leaves, and heads of crimson 

 flowers about the size of those of Burchellia capensis, or larger. These heads 

 are arranged in a panicle, so as to render the branches a complete mass of 

 blossom." {Bot. Reg., July, 1843, Misc.)

Baxter's British Flowering Plants, No. 128., completing the work. 8vo. 

 Oxford and London, 1843. 



We again strongly recommend this work, as we have frequently done before ; 

 and we congratulate its indefatigable author on its completion. Its value is 

 greatly increased by copious indexes, tables of contents classified, an ample 

 list of books quoted or referred to, a list of the few errata which have oc- 

 curred, and ample directions to the binder with respect to the plates. 



Catalogue of Hardy Trees and Shrubs cultivated and sold by Whitley and Osboi'n, 

 Fulham, near London. One sheet folio, to go by the penny post. Fulham 

 Nursery, 1843. 



This is undoubtedly the most complete catalogue of hardy trees and shrubs 

 that ever was published in this or in any country. A sign, the same as in our 

 Abridged Arborettim, indicating the habit of the plant, is placed before each 

 species and variety ; and the authority for the name, and the height which the 

 plant attains, or is supposed to attain, in the climate of Britain, after it. 

 Those plants that require sandy or dry peat, bog or moist peat, or sandy loam, 

 are also indicated ; but the shortest way to give an idea of this catalogue will 

 be to copy the table of contents : — 



" The nomenclature is the same as that of the Arboretum Britannicum and 

 the Encyclojocsdia of Trees and Shrubs, except the very few names marked 

 with a *, which we have not been able to identify with these works, or which 

 have been introduced since their publication. Where no authority is given 

 after the name, the Arboretum Britannicum and the Encyclopcedia of Shrubs 

 are to be understood as such. The heights given are approximations to what 

 it is supposed the plants will attain in this country, in order to serve as some 

 guide in planting them out. In giving the heights of trailers and creepers, 

 the length of stem has been followed, as in the case of climbers and twiners. 



" To facilitate the naming of trees and shrubs sent out from this nursery, 

 Messrs. Whitley and Osborn can supply their customers with lead labels,
