NEW AND RARE PLANTS.

Strangways, in his curious garden at Abbotsbury in Dorsetshire, where it flowered 
last year, for the first time, in England. It produces yellow flowers in abundance, 
and Dr. Lindley says that it will require protecting slightly in the winter, with 
mats, &c.—Boi. Reg., 1902. 
ONAGKARIiE (tHE EVENING PRIMROSE TRIBE). 
Fuchsia macrostema ; var, recurvata. Large-stamened Fuchsia, recurved 
var. Of all the Fuchsias familiar to us, this strikes us as the most handsome, 
whether we consider the graceful mode of growth, the delicate green of the foliage 
and deep colour of the branches, or the size and form of the flowers, and their 
exceedingly rich hues. It was raised from seeds probably of hybrid production by 
Mr. Niven, at the Glasnevin Botanic Garden, Dublin, and sent to Mr. Murray, at 
the Glasgow Botanic Garden, under the name of F. recurvata.~-BoL Mag., 3521. 
COMPOSITE. 
SiLPHiUM terebinthaceum- Terebinthine Silphium. A very fine herbaceous 
species of Silphium, remarkable for the great size of its lower leaves and yellow 
flowers ; and though inhabiting the western mountains of Carolina and Georgia, 
and the prairies of St. Louis, on the Missouri, it bears the open air in England, and 
even in Scotland, remarkably well, flowering in the autumn months. It grows 
about six feet high, and produces large handsome yellow flowers about July and 
August — Bot, Mag., 3525. 
euphorbiaceje (tfie euphorbium tribe). 
Euphorbia Bojeri. Mr. Bojer's Spurge. A most beautiful plant, equal to 
E. splendens, and, like it, introduced by Professor Bojer, from Madagascar, to the 
Mauritius and to Europe. It seems to be a plant of humbler growth than E. splen- 
dens ; it has fewer spines, more coriaceous, more obovate and retuse leaves, richer 
coloured bracteas, and simple filaments ; it flowers in the winter and early in the 
spring, and more or less through the greater part of the year. Bot. Mag. 3527. 
CLASS II.— PLANTS WITH ONE COTYLEDON (MONOCOTYLEDONE^). 
ORCHIDE.^ (the orchis TRIBe). 
Myanthus deltoideus. Triangular-lipped Flywort. A fourth species of 
Myanthus, and native of trees in the neighbourhood of the great waterfall of the 
Demerara river, where it was found by Mr. Joseph Hubbard, who sent it to his 
friend Mr. Booker, of Liverpool, by whom it was presented to Richard Harrison, 
Esq., of Aighburgh. Its distinction from the other species resides in its lip, which 
has none of the fringed-like hairs of M. barhatus and cristatus, but is flat, of a 
thick fleshy consistence, and of a rich purple colour, with a dash of green on its 
centre ; its figure is arrow-headed, with the barbs rounded ofl" and serrated, and the 
point a little dilated, with the edges reflexed. Bot. Beg., 1896. 
Epidendrum ^mulum Emulous Epidendrum. A very rare little plant, and 
a native of Para, closely allied to the variable E.fragrans, from which it is distin- 
guished by its pseudo bulbs being very exactly oval, and not tapering to each end, 
by its more leathery less acuminate leaves, and very much smaller flowers, the 
petals of which are the same width as the sepals. Bot. Beg., 1898.
