PHILADELPHEiE. 
Deutzia scabra. Rough-leaved Deutzia. An erect branching shrub four or 
five feet high, with the whole of the young parts rough with minute starry 
pubescency. It forms an elegant shrub, a native of Japan and China, and introduced 
from the latter country a few years ago by Mr, Reeves, to whom our gardens are 
indebted for many equally interesting plants from the same quarter. It is of easy 
culture, being sufficiently hardy to endure our winters in the open air, and easily 
increased both by cuttings and layers. During the early part of summer it is 
covered with a profusion of white flowers, which are highly fragrant. Brit. Fl, 
Gar, 393. 
THE POPPY TRIBE (PAPA VERACE^e). 
Platystemon californicus. Californian Platystemon. A hardy annual, of 
considerable beauty, with straw-coloured flowers, and hairy green leaves ; it grows 
in any light loamy soil, and is readily increased by seeds, which it perfects freely in 
the open border. Brit. Fl. Gar. 394. 
CLASS IL— PLANTS WITH ONE COTYLEDON (MONOCOTYLEDONEiE). 
THE LILY TRIBE (lILACE^.) 
Ornithogalum latifolium. Broad-leaved Ornithogalum. This is a good 
and very desirable species ; the petals when fully expanded are quite white on both 
sides, never having the decided green line found in most ornithogalums. It is quite 
hardy, and flowers in April and May. Bot. Reg. 1978. 
THE orchis tribe (ORCHIDEiE). 
DiPODiuM punctatum. Dotted Dipodium. A most curious, leafless, terres- 
trial orchidaceous plant, with thick fleshy fibrous roots, and purple spotted flowers. 
It flowered at Messrs. Loddiges', and is a native of New Holland and Van Diemen's 
Land, but is rather rare in the latter island. Mr. Allan Cunningham met with it 
in sandy forest ground in the colony of Port Jackson, and beyond the Blue 
Mountains, flowering in December. Bot. Reg. 1980.

IN FLOWER IN THE LEADING NURSERIES AND PRIVATE GARDENS IN 
THE VICINITY OF LONDON. 
Messrs. Henderson's, Pine-Apple Place. Nolana atripUcifolia. This is? 
without doubt, one of the most beautiful annuals we have seen for some time, and 
is admirably adapted for forming beds in the flower-garden ; as, on account of its 
trailing habits, it will very soon cover the surface of the ground ; and the great 
size and peculiar beauty of its flowers (which bear so striking a resemblance to
