herbaceous plants; to Mr. R. Prichard" West 



nia. nitida.. — Interesting as 

 being the first l>egonia to flower in this 

 country, and withal a very pretty plant, this 

 species merits at least a passing notice, it 

 forms an erect woody stem, and may be 

 treated as a climbing plant, but at the same 

 time is more useful when grown in a loose, 

 bushy form. The bright green leaves are 

 particularly glossy, and the flowers, either 

 w^hite or pink, are borne freely in good sizea 

 panicles. It is a very pretty subject for the 

 greenhouse in the summer, and in an inter- 

 mediate temperature will flower throughout 

 the greater part of the winter. A native oi
