Soruo'ra [? japénica] grandiflora Hort. Introduced from the Continent 
in 184], but whether hardy or not is uncertain. (G. MM. 1842, p. 13.) 
S. japénica pubéscens Booth. A variety with the leaves rather more pu- 
bescent than those of the species. 
Genr'sTa thyrsifiora Booth. A shrub growing to the height of 4 ft., pro- 
lific in large bunches of yellow flowers, raised from seeds received from 
the South of Europe. In all probability already described under some 
other name. 
InDIGO'FERA nepalénsis Hort. A free-growing shrub, apparently ‘hardy. 
This is probably a garden name applied to one of the numerous species 
of Indigéfera from the North of India, where they abound. There is 
frequently one species raised from these seeds which is much hardier 
than the others, with rather large bright rosy pink flowers, which stood 
last winter without any protection in an open border; and Dr. Royle says 
that there are many which grow very high up the hills, which should be 
quite hardy in England. (G. JZ. 1842, p. 17.) 
Caraca'na Gerardiana Royle Illust, vol. i. p. 198. t. 34, fig. 1. The 
Tartaric Furze of travellers. A very distinct species, having all the 
leaves terminated by a spine, in the manner of Astragalus Tragacantha 
(p. 246.). It grows on the Himalayan Mountains, at an elevation of 
16,000 ft., and is quite hardy in British gardens, H.S. in 1839. (G. JL. 
1840, p. 633.) 
st ASTRA'GALUS fruticdsus Dec. An under-shrub from Siberia, smooth, and 
scarcely ligneous; fit only for rockwork or to be kept in pots, as the 
moisture of autumn and winter soon destroys it. Raised in the H. S. 
Garden in 1839, from seeds received from Baron Jacquin. (G. Jf. 
1840, p. 633.) 
+ A. vimineus Dec. A pretty little shrubby species from Siberia, rather 
difficult to keep, except in pots or on rockwork. Hammersmith Nursery 
in 1839. (G. IZ. 1840, p. 633.)

+ AmyY'GDALUS Pallasii Ledebour, (A. pedunculata Pallas.) A very pretty 
decumbent under-shrub, quite hardy. H.S. in 1839, or before. (G. 
M. 1840, p. 633.) 
% Pru'nus Mime Sieb. The dwarf or creeping Plum of the Japanese. It 
bears yellow fruit, which the Japanese pickle as we do cucumbers or 
walnuts. There are many varieties. Tooting Nursery in 1841. (G. 
iM, 1842, p. 18.) 
# Cr’rasus Laurocérasus var. célchica and C. L. var. Emerélli (?) are 
varieties of the common laurel, received from Belgium in 1841.  Toot-

species resembling S. arizefolia, introduced from Mexico, where it was 
found by Hartweg, growing from 15 ft. to 20 ft. high. It is expected to 
be quite hardy. H.S. in 1839. (G. M. 1840, p. 633.) 
 S. lanceolata Poir. Dict. 7. 353., Cambess. in Ann. Soc. Nat. 1. 366. t. 25. 
(S. Reevesidna Hort.) Resembles S. bélla, but differs from it in having 
lanceolate, lobed, and serrated leaves, nearly evergreen. Introduced 
from Japan by John Reeves, Esq. Knight’s Exotic Nursery, 1839. (G 
M. 1840, p. 633.)
