size to those of the double variety of gimndijiorum, and of a still richer colour. A 
mixture of peat and loam will be found to suit it best, and it is increased by parting- 
the roots. Dons Brit. FL Gard., 309. 
ESCALLONIA TRIBE (eSC ALLONE^). 
EscALLONiA PULVERu LENTA. This hardy evergreen shrub is common about 
Conception and Valparaiso in Chile, and was introduced in 1831, from seeds col- 
lected in that country by Mr. Cumming. We know nothing- of the constitution of 
the present species, but we presume it will be found to be quite as hardy as the 
other species from the same country. The flowers are white, disposed in a terminal 
spike. Don in Drit. Fl. Gard., 310. 
PEA TRIBE (lEGUMINOS^). 
PoiNCiANA GiLLiESii. Dr. GilHes's Flower-fence. An erect, slender, branched 
tree, rising to the height of 8 or 10 feet, bearing large yellow flowers in terminal 
corymbs. It is abundant on banks of rivers, and in irrigated grounds about 
Mendosa in South America, where it was discovered by Dr. Gillies. The plant 
from which the figure was made, flowered in the choice collection of Mr. Knight, 
King's Road, Chelsea, in the end of July, where the tree has stood for several years 
placed near the wall of a stove. We have seldom had to record so interesting a 
production as the present, and one so eminently deserving the attention of the cul- 
tivator. Don in Brit. FL Gard.., 311. 
THE WATERLEAF TRIBE ( HYDROPH YLLE^) . 
EuTOCA visciDA. Clammy Eutoca. A new hardy annual, found in Cahfornia 
by Mr. Douglas, and raised by the Horticultural Society, in whose garden it flowered 
this summer. It is perfectly hardy, and will grow in any common soil. The blue 
of the flowers is remarkably deep and brilliant, so that the plant has a handsome 
appearance, but its leaves are rather coarse and weedy. We know, however, of no 
plant better adapted for bouquets : for it will go on growing and flowering in water 
for two or three weeks after being gathered. Lind. in Dot. Reg., 1808. 
THE ROSE TRIBE (ROSACEA), 
Cratcegus Douglasii. The Douglas Thorn. A native of North West 
America, where it was collected by Mr. Douglas. A hardy tree of small size 
flowering in May. Lind. in Dot. Reg., 1810. 
Madam Hardy Rose. This is a lovely white damask, growing beautifully, 
and producing a profusion of flowers of a fine warm white, remarkably double and 
well formed. Smith's Florists' Magazine, 37. 
Village Maid Rose. This is one of the most novel roses which we possess, 
and well deserves to be generally cultivated. Its beautifully striped leaves form a 
most pleasing contrast with almost every other rose, whether white or red; and, 
though the individual blossoms soon droop, the succession is so abundant and so
