BOTANICAL NOTICES OF NEW PLANTS. 



SCROPHULARIACEiE. Lindl. 



Nemesia floribunda. Lehm. Many-flowered Nemesia. Bot. Reg. N. S. t. 

 39. This is a delicate annual, much resembling the genus Linaria. Its flowers 

 are whitish tinted with orange. This is the same plant which was named N. 

 affmis by Mr. Bentham, in Sir W. J. Hooker's " Companion to the Botanical 

 Magazine," he then not having seen the seed list of the Hamburgh Garden. It 

 is a native of the Cape of Good Hope. The seeds should be sown after the 

 manner of Linarias, and they will flower from June till August. Bot. Reg. 



CONVOLVULACE^;. Juss. 



Ipojnosa Bonariensis. Hook. Buenos Ayres Ipomsea. Bot. Mag. t. 3665. 

 This is not a species possessing brilliant colours. It was raised from seeds sent 

 to this country in the year 1826. That gentleman observes that it is common 

 on the ditch banks about Buenos Ayres, and who observes, that the plant has a 

 large tuberous root. It thrives readily in a stove, and flowers in August. 



ERICACEAE. Lindl. 



Rhododendron nudiflorum. var. scintillans (hybrid). Sparkling Rhodo- 

 dendron. Bot. Mag. t. 3667. This is said to be a most beautiful hybrid, and 

 growing vigorously in the American border of the Glasgow Botanic Garden. It 

 was first raised by Mr. Gowen, the gardener at High Clere, in the following 

 manner, which he communicated to the Botanical Register. " This Azalea was 

 raised at High Clere in the same year with those already figured, and is a seed- 

 ling from azalea coccinea (nudiflora var. coccinea) major, impregnated with the 

 pollen of azalea pontica." Bot. Mag. 



ONAGRARIiE. Juss. 



Fuchsia cylindracea. Lindl. Cylindrical-flowered Fuchsia. Bot. Reg. N. 

 S. p. 54. This is a very pretty species of Fuchsia, raised from Mexican seeds 

 presented to the London Horticultural Society by G. Barker, Esq. It belongs 

 to the same section as F. microphylla. Mr. Barker also presented seeds to the 

 Birmingham Botanical and Horticultural Society, from which several plants have 

 been raised, and two fine ones are now in flower in that establishment. The 

 flowers are a bright scarlet, solitary, on long fine peduncles. 



This species, from the singular colour of its flowers, and the freedom of its 

 growth, has every appearance of being a favourite amongst cultivators. We 

 intend giving a further description and plate of it in a forthcoming number. 



MONOCOTYLEDONES. 



IRIDACEiE. Lindl. 



Tritonia fucata. Lindl. Painted Tritonia. Bot. Reg. N. S. t. 38. This is 

 a very beautiful species, bearing a secund spike of orange-red flowers. It flowered 

 in the collection of the Honourable and Reverend W. Herbert, in the autumn 

 of 1837,
