There is also a new Sea Lavender (Statice chinensis), and a Toad Flax, named 

 Linaria pancici. 



The Wistaria, both purple, single and double, do well here, as also does 

 IF. multijuga^ a kind producing flowering racemes nearly 2 feet in length, and 

 which now and then bears fruit. Buddleia Colvillei originally flowered here on 

 a wall in 1891, and was afterwards killed back to the old stem by 2if oi frost, 

 but grew away freely again afterwards. This fact is mentioned as showing that, 

 genial and mild as the Belgrove climate usually is, it is nevertheless subject at 

 times to severe depressions with the usual results. Carpenteria californica also 

 does well outside on an old red-brick wall, along with Eucryphia pinnatifida, 

 and the still more rare E. cordata, the foliage of which resembles that of a large 

 and glossy-leaved evergreen Oak or Ilex in form and texture. Apart, however, 

 from named and well-known plants — the rare Californian shrub, Crossosoma 

 californicum, and the yellow tree Paxmy [P. luted) from China, are the most 

 recent additions — there are always at Belgrove many things on probation that 

 are new, rare, uncommon, and often unknown ; and it is this which adds so 

 much to the interest of the garden and its surroundings. 



As some indication of the number of rare and interesting plants that have 

 flowered from time to time, and often for the first time, at Belgrove, we append 

 lists of plants which have from time to time appeared in The Garde?i, The 

 Gardeners' Chronicle, and in the pages of The Botanical Magazine.
