THE E^TENING PRIMROSE TRIBE (ON AGR ARI/E). 
GoDETiA RUBicuNDA. Ruddy Godetia. A handsome species, found io 
California by the lamented Mr. Doug-las. It flowers in July and August, when it 
forms an agreeable contrast with G. Lindleyana, in consequence of the want of 
spots in the flower, and the peculiar ruddy appearance of its petals. A hardy- 
annual. Bot. Reg., 1856. 
(composite). 
Dahlia. Levick's Incomparable. This in form and character is an eleg-ant 
flower, and very beautiful in colour. It attains the height of four feet, and pro- 
duces a very considerable quantity of flowers of a rich scarlet, tipped with white ; 
and though it is apt to become plain or all scarlet, in this state it is by no means an 
inferior flower. Its tipped flowers, however, constitute its principal claim. Flor, 
Mag., No. XI. 
TERNSTRCEMIACEJE. 
Camellia japonica, var. imbricata. A plant of good habit and a profuse 
bloomer; the flowers are admirable for brilliancy of colour and symmetry of form. 
It grows two feet high, and often may be seen with upwards of fifty flowers upon 
one plant. Flor. Mag., No. XI. 
the campanula TRIBE (CAMPANUL ACE^). 
Campanulas. Pumila and Garganica. The C. pumila, or dwarf bell-flower, 
is a native of Switzerland, and flowers in June, July, and August ; in height it 
does not exceed three inches, but it produces such a profusion of flowers, that 
the foliage is nearly hid by them. The C. garganica, or Garganian, bell- 
flower, is a plant of great beauty, the blue of its corolla being of a very brilliant 
azure, and it produces a profusion of flowers upon its procumbent panicles. It 
thrives well in a little loam and peat, with a trifling addition of leaf mould, but it 
must by no means be allowed to become wet. Flo7\ Mag., No. XI. 
THE PRIMULA TRIBE (PRIMUL ACEiE). 
Polyanthus. Fletcher's Defiance. An extremely interesting variety, the 
petals of the flower are very beautifully edged with a bright yellow, while the 
ground colour is dark brown and the eye of a brilliant yellow, which renders it^ 
upon the whole, very pleasing. The number contains some excellent directions for 
the cultivation of these plants. Flor, Mag., No. XI. 
CLASS II.— PLANTS WITH ONE COTYLEDON (MONOCOTYLEDONEiE). 
THE LILY TRIBE (LILIACEJE). 
Orithyia uniflora. Single-flowered Orythyia. This plant is about the 
size, and has entirely the habit, of single-flowered specimens of Tulipa hiflora, 
but the bulb is rather larger, of an ovate form, and covered with a dark chestnut 
coat. It is very pretty, and is found frequent on the rocky banks of the river 
Irtysch, and other streams which descend from the Altai mountains. The flowers 
are of a bright yellow, solitary. IBrit. Fl. Gard., 336. 
THE ORCHIS TRIBE (ORCHIDE^.) 
Oncidium cornigerum. Horned Oncidium. A very showy species, pro- 
ducing very neat interesting flowers upon a scape of from II to 16 inches long. It
