Hymenocdllis S/cinneriana Herb. This plant is a native of Guatemala, where 

 it was discovered by Mr. Skinner. (Boi. Keg., June, 1843, Misc.') 



Calli-psyche eucrosioides Herb. These bulbs were brought from the west 

 coast of Mexico. They flowered without leaves in the month of March. 

 When in leaf they so closely resemble the preceding plant as scarcely to be 

 distinguished from it. {Bot. Reg., July, 1842, Misc.) 



Cnmc7H hrachynhna Herb. This is a species from Bombay. The umbel 

 contains seventeen flowers, which are fragrant. {Bot. Reg., May, 1842, Misc.) 



933. A^ARCrSSUS Hybrids. Bot. Reg. 1S43,3S. 



The plate alluded to contains six hybrid narcissi, which have been raised 

 by Mr. Herbert, between the genera of the late Mr. Haworth. By these 

 experiments it appears evident that the supposed genera were only varieties, 

 or, at most, species of the genus iVarcissus. {Bot. Reg., Aug. 1843, Misc.) 



HemcTocallide^z. 

 1005. AGAPA'NTHUS 8208 umbellatus var. m^ximus Bot. Reg. 1843, 7. 



The flowers are larger, the leaves broader, and the flower-scape very much 

 longer than in the common kind. (Bot. Reg., Feb. 1843.) 



Blandford'vA marginata Herb. " This handsome Australian plant was intro- 

 duced by Mr. Osborn of the Fulham Nursery." It is distinguished from B. 

 grandiflora " by the less erect leaves, with a rufous serrate margin, and the 

 coppery hue of its very showy flowers." {Bot. Reg., Nov. 1842.) 



AspkodelecB. 



1054. SCI'LLA 8812 peruviana var. discolor Bot. Reg. 1843, 48. 



This variety is so very distinct, that at first sight it seems to be a different 

 species. Dr. Lindley, however, shows us that, after a careful examination, he 

 cannot " discover any other distinction between them than that of the colour 

 of the flowers, which in this plant are of a dingy pale fawn colour." (Bat. 

 Reg., Sept. 1843.) 



1016. iI'LIUM 



testaceum i?«rf;. testaceous tf _AJ or 3 jn Y Japan 1841. O p.l Bot. reg. 1843, 11. 



This plant, though very inferior to the other species which are natives of 

 Japan, is yet a handsome half-hardy bulb. When potted, " the bulbs should 

 be placed rather deep, because they make fibres above the bulb, as well as 

 below it;" and they should never be repotted except in a dormant state. 

 (Bot. Reg., Feb. 1 843.) 



Bro7nel\a.cese. 

 956. TILLA'NDSU 



TiXbida Lindl. madder-coloured ^ IZ] or | f Pk Brazil 1841. O s.l Bot. reg. 1842, G3. 



This is a very handsome species of the curious genus Ti]landsi«, which io 

 very ornamental. (Bot. Reg., Nov. 1842.) 



281-55. psittacina 



Synonyme : Vriesi'o psittacina Lindl. Bot. Reg. 1843, 10. 



This is a new genus, formed by Dr. Lindley, in honour of Dr. de Vriese, 

 Professor of Botany at Amsterdam. (Bot. Reg., Feb. 1843.)

fulgens Paxt. brilliant [Z3 or 1 mr.ap S Cayenne 1842. Sk. s.p.l Paxt. mag. bet. 



This very showy plant is generally treated like one of the Orchidacese, and 

 grown in a basket ; but it is sometimes planted in a pot, and plunged in a 

 bark-pit like a pine-apple. (Pajct. Mag. of Bot., Sept. 1843) 



Pitcairma. undiddta Scheid. A native of Brazil, with scarlet flowers. (Bot. 

 Reg., May, 1843, Misc.) 



P. micrdntha Lindl. A very small species of the same genus imported from 

 Rio in 1841. (Ibid.) 



Puya recurvdta Scheid. A Brazilian plant with a spike about a foot long, 

 covered with white flowers. (Ibid.)
