NEW AND RARE PLANTS. 
whence it was introduced to the Clapton nurseries by Mr. Anderson. Its habit 
is extremely delicate, but is said to be readily increased by layers. Brit. Flo, 
Gard., 350. 
THE CROWFOOT TRIBE (RANUNCULACE^). 
P^ONiA albiflora ; vav. Pottsii. Potts's Chinese Paeony. This is certainly 
the most splendid of the five varieties of Albiflora now cultivated in our gardens. 
It was introduced by Mr. John Potts from China, in 1822, and named by Mr. 
Sabine, in compliment to that zealous collector who had been sent out by the 
Horticultural Society, and who died shortly after his return to this country. The 
flowers, Mr. Don says, are mostly solitary^ erect, double. Petals obovate, concave, 
lobed and toothed, of a rich crimson. It is quite hardy ; flowers very freely, and 
requires the same treatment as the other kinds. Brit. Flor. Gard., 331. 
THE CHICKWEED TRIBE (CARYOPHYLLE^). 
Carnations. Pugh's Lady Hill, and Hog-g's Colonel of the Blues. These 
two flowers are new, and as beautiful as any of their classes. Lady Hill was raised 
by Mr. Pug-h, about three years since, who says, " It produces invariably a very 
large, handsome, and well-formed flower, strong-ly and definitely marked or ribboned 
with a most brilliant scarlet on a clear white ; the edges of the petals are perfectly 
entire ; it is remarkably constant for so high-coloured a flower, it scarcely ever runs 
in colour ; the petals are even and fleshy." 
Hog-g's Colonel of the Blues is a most striking flower, each bloom is large and 
well flaked, with a most brilliant blue purple, the white is very pure, and the 
flower has a beautiful chaste appearance. Flor. Mag. — No. 15. 
THE EVENING PRIMROSE TRIBE (ONAGRARIEiE. FUCHSIE^). 
Fuchsia Groomiana. Mr. Groom's Fuchsia. This variety is one of un- 
common beauty ; the flowers are large and profuse, and the general habit of the 
plant is strong and elegant. It appears to be a free grower, and much larger in all 
its parts than any other ; but is a strict greenhouse variety. Flor. Mag., 13. 
THE CHICKWEED TRIBE (CARYOPHYLLE^). 
Pinks. Middlesex Beauty, Warden, and Omega. These three beautiful 
varieties are from specimens grown by Mr. Hogg, and may be considered by every 
Pink-grower to be indispensable. 
Hogg's Middlesex Beauty, is a very brilliant and attracting subject, perfect in 
its form and free in its growth. 
Whites Warden is a sparkling flower ; the dark colour contrasted with its pure 
white ground gives it a peculiar prominency in the pink-bed. 
Unswortlis Omega is a large and well-filled flower ; the colour of the lacing is 
pure and bright ; it is certainly a noble and valuable variety. Flor. Mag., 13. 
CLASS II.— PLANTS WITH ONE COTYLEDON (MONOCOTYLEDONE^). 
THE ORCHIS TRIBE (ORCHIDE^) 
CiRRH^A TRiSTis. Sad-coloured Cirrhsea. A deliciously scented species, 
native of Mexico, whence it was obtained by Messrs. Loddiges, It is an interesting 
species, the flowers are of a dark purple colour, and on the scape represented are no
