NEW AND BEAUTIFUL PLANTS. 
and so large as to produce a very rich and gay appearance, either when the plant 
is grown singly or in beds. It was sent to Dr. Lindley by Mr. Yeitch, of the 
Mount Radford Nursery, near Exeter, with a memorandum that the plant had 
been hung up in the stove for more than a month without the least soil, and 
without ceasing to flower ; this property of continuing to grow after being gathered 
renders it invaluable to those who grow flowers to decorate their sitting-rooms.

THE CAMPANULA TRIBE {Campanulacece). 
Campanula barbata ; var. cyanea. Dark-blue bearded Bell-flower. This 
is a good plant, received in this country from the Imperial Botanic Gardens at 
Vienna. The flowers are of a deep blue ; indeed the character of the whole plant 
is good. It is well adapted for rock-work, and thrives well in a sunny situation in 
dry soil. Brit. Fl. Gar. for December, 409. 
THE PRIMULA TRIBE {PrimulacecB). 
DoDECATHEON INTEGRIFOLIUM. Entirc-leavcd American Cowslip. A very 
distinct and beautiful species of this small genus : it was found by Mr. Drummond 
in the Rocky Mountains. The flowers droop, and the segments of the corolla are 
reflexed quite back, which look very pretty. Bot. M.ag.for December., 3622. 
CLASS II.— PLANTS WITH ONE COTYLEDON (MONOCOTYLEDONE^.) 
THE AMARYLLIS TRIBE {AmarylUdacece). 
Sternbergia colchiciflora. Meadow Saff*ron-fiowered Sternbergia. This 
is a charming little autumn-flowering bulbous plant, introduced by the Hon. "W". 
F. Strangways ; it is described as perfuming the fields of the Crimea, especially 
about the Bosphorus, with its fragrant jasmine-scented flowers in the months of 
September and October. The flowers are yellow, rise about the height of a crocus, 
and look very pretty. It will probably prove hardy. Bot. Reg. for Dec. 2008. 
THE ORCHIS TRIBE {OrcUdacece). 
An^ctochilus setaceus. Fringed Antectochilus. A most interesting little 
plant, with white and green rather inconspicuous flowers, and very handsome leaves ; 
these latter are admirably and singularly painted with transverse yellowish lines 
upon a rich brown purple ground, and the leaf being of an ovate figure, renders 
them very conspicuous and pretty. It is said to be a native of Java, and Ceylon ; 
but his Grace the Duke of Devonshire's collector found it in small quantities on 
the Khoseea Hills, from w^hence he brought living plants, which are thriving in 
great beauty in the hothouse at Chatsworth. It thrives well with the treatment 
of Neottia, Goodyera^ and other similar terrestrial kinds. Bot. Reg. for Dec, 2010.
