NEW AND RARE PLANTS. 
The flowers, which are white, appear in May or the beginning- of June ; the fruit 
is red, but does not make much show upon the branches. Bot. Reg., 1846. 
Crat.^gus heterophylla. Various-leaved Hawthorn. This is amongst the 
handsomest species of this genus. When well grown, it forms a dense pyramidal 
head, produces leaves the first of the genus, and is soon covered with a mantle of 
snow-white blossoms. After the latter have fallen away, the leaves become fully 
developed, and from their shining surface, neat figure and firmness of texture, render 
the tree a beautiful object. Finally, the rich crimson of the numerous leaves, 
which adorn the branches in the last days of Autumn, harmonizes beautifully with 
the fading verdure of the leaves. Bot. Reg., 1847.

GoDETiA LEPiDA. Smart Godetia. A pretty new annual, found in California 
by Mr. Douglas. It was raised in the gardens of the Horticultural Society in July, 
1835. It is a handsome species, producing blossoms of a rose colour,and the centre of 
each petal is marked with a spot of crimson, which gives it, when in full bloom, a 
very striking appearance. Bet. Reg.^ 1849.

OxYURA CHRYSANTHEMOiDEs. Ox-eye-like Oxyura. A hardy annual, with 
yellow flowers of considerable beauty, resembling in aspect the Chrysanthemum 
coTonarium. It was found in California, by Mr. Douglas and produces its flowers 
about the months of August and September, ripening seeds in abundance. Bot. 
Reg., 1850. 
(TERNSTRCEMIACEiE). 
Camellia anemoniflora and Rosa mundi. The anemoniflora is a hybrid, 
produced between the Red Waratah and Pomponia, or Kew blush; it partakes of 
the free growth and ample foliage of the Waratah, and the form of the flower ; but the 
centre is much improved, by partaking of the delicacy of the Pomponia. It is 
lighter than the surrounding petals, and partially mottled with a more delicate 
salmon-colour. It was raised by Mr. James Dickson, of Acre Lane, Clapham, of 
whom it may be procured. Rosa mundi is one of those beautiful striped varieties 
which does honour to the perseverance of Camellia amateurs. Its centre is not of 
the most perfect character. Flor. Mag., No. X. 
THE HEATH TRIBE (eRICE^). 
Rhododendron campanulatum. Bell-flowered Rose bay. This magnificent 
plant is a native of the lofty mountains of the north of Nepal, called Gosaingsthan, 
and was introduced by Dr. WaUich. The flowers are of a very large size, of a pure 
white, delicately tinged with a subdued rose colour towards their extremities ; of a 
bell-shape, divided into five nearly equal lobes, the top one is decorated with crimson 
spots nearly to the base, which is generally of a very warm white. The flowers are 
individually about two inches and a quarter across, growing in a corymbose cluster, 
of about twelve or fifteen in number. It is expected, that this species will endure 
more severe weather than many of its congeners from North America, as it was 
found at a much higher elevation, therefore, a much colder ; but it has not yet
