Wistaria Consequana. — We are again called to notice tbis lovely plant, as 
we were struck with the great beauty of some specimens now in flower at Mr. 
Young's, Epsom, which are trained up poles of twenty or thirty feet in length, and 
by being continually deprived of their young and superfluous shoots to within a 
few eyes of the stem, flower most profusely ; and what can be a more beautiful 
object than a long pole completely covered with racemes of fine blue flowers, with 
here and there a few young leaves showing l hemsel ves ! This system of growing climb- 
ing plants to poles, has been carried by Mr. Young to a considerable extent, and is 
attended with the most complete success, especially in roses, of which he has some 
most beautiful specimens; but he has likewise some plants of the Wistaria^ treated 
as dwarf shrubs, which, by being continually cut down to within a short distance 
of the ground, have acquired a shrubby habit, and thus produce their flowers very 
abundantly : it is almost needless to add, that these, when in flower, have a most 
interesting and beautiful appearance. 
NEW AND RARE PLANTS, 
FIGURED IN THE LEADING BOTANICAL PERIODICALS FOR JUNE. 
CLASS I PLANTS WITH TWO COTYLEDONS (DICOTYLEDONE^). 
THE FIGWORT TRIBE (SCROPHULARl ACE.^). 
Rehmannia Chinensis. Chinese Rehmannia. This plant was sent from 
the Imperial Garden at St. Petersburgh to the Horticultural Society in 1835; and 
the reported size of the flowers excited great expectations as to its beauty. The 
flowers are a very dingy orange, which so diminishes the eff'ect of their magnitude 
that the plant has by no means a handsome appearance. It flowers in July, and 
succeeds best in a cool greenhouse, where it is readily multiplied by cuttings. 
Bot. Reg, 1960. 
the EVENING PRIMROSE TRIBE (oNAGRACE^e). 
EucHARiDiuM CONCINNUM. Neat Eucharidium. A pretty little hardy annual 
allied to Clarhia^ found near the Russian colony of Ross in New California, and 
communicated to the Horticultural Society from St. Petersburgh in 1836. It 
blossoms in about six weeks after the time of germination. Flowers rosy pink, 
but not to be compared with Clarkia pulchella, Sot. Reg. 1962. 
OENOTHERA BiFRONS, Heart-leaved CEnothera. This pretty species of 
(Enothera is entirely new; it was raised by Mr. Miller, of the Bristol nursery, 
from seeds collected in Texas by the late Mr. Drummond. The plant is biennial, 
with sulphur-coloured flowers : it ripens its seeds freely in the open border.
