 flowers ; but they are not bright enough, nor in sufficient mass, to produce a 

 striking effect. (^Bot. Reg., Oct. 1843, Misc.)

This very singular genus consists of small plants, natives of South America, 

 which, in their native country, form spiny bushes, with very singularly shaped 

 flowers. This species requires a warm greenhouse, in which the temperature 

 during winter averages 47°. The plant is very liable to suffer from damp. 

 {Bot. Reg., June, 1843.) 



Corvisdrtia indica Dec. " This is a coarse herbaceous plant, with large heads 

 of yellow flowers, in all respects extremely similar to the elecampane." The 

 species is a native of Cashmere and other parts of the North of India. {Bot. 

 Reg., Aug. 1842, Misc.) 



A'ster cabiilicus Lindl. This is a small half-shrubby bush, which is quite 

 hardy, and has rough willow-like leaves. The whole plant smells like worm- 

 wood, and the flowers, which are at first white, become afterwards of a pale 

 lilac. {Bot. Reg., Sept. 1843, Misc.)

The flowers of this plant bear considerable resemblance to those of S. 

 blcolor. The leaves are, however, much handsomer than those of that 

 species. The stem is rather suffruticose than shrubby, as it is frequently 

 only woody at the base. It has, as yet, only been tried in a stove, but will 

 probably prove quite as hardy as S. blcolor, and it has the same peculiarity of 

 remaining a long time in flower. This species is a native of the Organ Moun- 

 tains of Brazil ; and it is stated by Sir William Hooker that it flowered for 

 the first time in Europe in Kew Garden in July, 1842; but in Paxton's Maga- 

 zine it is stated that it was in flower some months previous to that time in the 

 Epsom Nursery. {Bot. Mag., Oct. 1842; and Paxt. Mag. of Bot., Nov. 

 1842.)
