CLASS I PLANTS WITH TWO COTYLEDONS (DICOTYLEDONE^), 
THE FIGWORT tribe (SCROPHULARINE^). 
CoLLiNSiA BicoLOR. Two-coloured Collinsia. A very handsome, hardy, 
erect-growing annual, with flowers arranged in several whorls towards the extremities 
of the branches, large and striking from the contrast of colour between the upper 
and lower lip, which in the upper is white, while the lower is of a pale purple. 
It was introduced, in 1833, to the London Horticultural Society, from California, 
by the late lamented Mr. Douglas. In the Glasgow Botanic Garden it flowered 
in August. Bot, Mag., 3488. 
THE NIGHT-SHADE TRIBE (SOLANE^), 
Jaborosa integrifolia. Entire-leaved Jaborosa, A very singular plant, 
with a subterraneous root, sent to this country, with another species, by Mr. 
Tweedie, from the Pampas of Buenos Ay res ; supposed to prove perfectly hardy, 
if planted in the open border in a favourable situation. The flower consists of a 
long campanulated tube, with a limb of five lanceolate spreading segments, exter- 
nally pale yellow and green, internally white. Bot. Mag., 3489. 
THE ROSE tribe (ROSACEiE). 
Rosa migrophylla. Small-leaved Chinese Rose. This Rose, so much 
admired by cultivators, cannot be exceeded in delicacy of form, shadow, and colour- 
ing, by any species of this highly-prized genus. It is a native of China, and is 
stated to have blossomed, for the first time, in Mr. Colville's nursery some years 
ago. Bot, Mag., 3490. 
Crat^gus orientalis. Oriental Hawthorn. A very handsome tree, with 
large snow-white vernal flowers, and rich purple autumnal leaves. When growing, 
it has a gay appearance, because its leaves are downy ; at a more advanced age it 
becomes green, in consequence of the leaves losing their hairyness. It is a native 
of the Crimea, and the parts bordering on the Black Sea. In its growth it forms a 
close-headed tree ; the fruit, which is its autumnal beauty, is of a scarlet colour,
