SERISSA FCETTDA, FLORA PLENA. 

 Class, Pentandria. Order, Monogynia.

Native of Japan, 1687. — Propagation, cuttings.

 in the flower-house, by the greater abundance of 

 bloom. 



ANIGOZANTHOS SPECIOSA. 

 Class, Hexandria. Order, Monogynia. 



HiEMODORACE^. 



Native of New Holland. 



This is an exceedingly beautiful variety; the 

 flowers are produced on much branched panicles, 

 with a long upright stem ; the flowers are green 

 with a scarlet calyx or base ; the two colours

 is, that it is a very rapid grower ; it requires the 

 protection of the greenhouse in winter : during the 

 time it is coming into blossom, place it in a cold 

 pit to prevent the flower-stem from being drawn
