CLASS I PLANTS WITH TWO COTYLEDONS (DICOTYLEDONE^). 
HYDROPHYLLE^ (THE WATER-LEAF TRIBe). 
Nemophila aurita. Ear-leaved Nemophila. This is a pretty annual with 
dark blue flowers, which, when expanded fully, are about the size of a sixpence. 
It is described as being quite hardy, and Dr. Don says, it requires no particular 
mode of treatment, as it is found to flower and perfect seeds freely in the open 
horder, and in the ordinary garden soil. Discovered by Mr. Douglas in California, ' 
by whom seeds were transmitted to the Horticultural Society. In comparing the 
present species and JV. insignis, figured page 329, together, we decide the latter 
to be by far the best flower; still we think, both of them grown together will have 
a pleasing appearance, and certainly should be in the possession of every lover of 
flowers. Brit. FL Gard., 338. 
ERICE^ (the heath TRIBE). 
Rhododendron arboreum, var. roseum. Pink-flowered tree rose bay. A 
plant remarkable for its dwarfnessin this country; and Dr. Don says, the plant from 
which the figure accompanying the description was taken, was no more than two 
feet high, but, in its native state, Dr. Waliich states it as equalling in height the 
arhoreum itself. The flowers are produced in a compact globular cluster, in colour 
a rich pink ; the corolla is marked within, on the upper side, with numerous deeper 
coloured spots, which look beautiful in the figure, and no doubt are highly so when 
seen on the plant. It was raised at the late Earl of Liverpool's, Combe House, in* 
1819. by Mr. W. Smith; the seeds, from Nepal, were communicated by Robert 
Henry Jenkinson, Esq. JBrit, FL Gard.^ 339.

Ribes malvaceum. Mallow-leaved Currant. An upright branching shrub,
