NOTICES OF NEW AND RARE PLANTS.

Loddiges have two plants of similar habits now in flower, which, though not so 
fragrant as the Aerides, possess a great share of beauty, viz., Saccolobium guttatum 
and prcemorsum ; and there is likewise a particularly fine plant of Dendrohium 
moschatum beautifully in flower, which, if we except D. calceolus, is the largest 
species of this genus. 
Mr. Low's, Clapton. Tropceolum brachyceras. This elegant little plant 
is now producing its pretty yellow blossoms, in company with T. tricolorum, in 
great profusion at the above nursery : it is trained up one of the pillars of a 
greenhouse, for which purpose it is admirably adapted, and justly deserves a 
place in every collection. Malva Creeiana. A new and very pretty species of 
Malva ; the flowers, though not large, are nevertheless by no means insignificant, 
and are of a very rich crimson colour ; it forms a very interesting feature in a 
collection of greenhouse plants. Mimulus sanguineus and maculatus. These, 
among the numerous new species which have appeared within the last few years, 
are two of the most interesting ; the former is similar in many respects to M. 
Ranbyanus, but is far superior to it in the richness of the colours of its flowers ; 
the latter takes its name from having spots in the flowers, of a delicate pink colour ; 
they are both highly deserving of notice. 
Messrs. Rollison's, Tooting. Epidendrum imetrophyllum. This is a new 
and pretty species of Epidendrum of Messrs. Rollison's importation, and they 
have a large specimen of it now in flower ; the flowers are small, grow in terminal 
clusters, and are very similar to those of E. elongatum, but somewhat larger ; but 
the principal distinction is in the foliage ; upon the whole it is superior to E. 
elongatum, and, like it, flowers rather profusely. Several species of the genus 
Oncidium, viz. O. divaricatum, altissimum, &c, are producing their beautiful 
little yellow blospoms in great abundance ; likewise some fine specimens of 
Calanthe veratrifolia and Broughtonia sanguinea. Messrs. Rollison have recently 
imported a quantity of orchideous plants from the Mauritius, among which there 
are several new, and probably valuable plants. 
Mr. Young's, Epsom. Clematis azurea grandiflora. This new and ex- 
ceedingly beautiful plant is now producing its large blue flowers in great perfection 
at the above nursery, and, as it is a most valuable addition to our present stock 
of climbing plants, we should certainly think that no person of taste would wish 
to be destitute of such an elegant and ornamental plant. Chorizema ovata. A 
very fine specimen of this delightful plant is now in flower and is indeed sur- 
passingly beautiful, as from the richness of the colour of its flowers it dazzles 
the eye of the beholder when the sun is shining upon it. Solanum Herbertia. 
This is a rare and highly valuable stove-plant ; the plant is shrubby, and the 
foliage very distinct from the generality of the species of this genus, as the leaves 
are quite entire, without any divisions ; the flowers are large, and of a deep 
blue colour, and this is decidedly one of the best known species of this genus. 
Mr. Young has some new seedling Calceolarias now in flower, many of which 
are quite distinct from any previously raised ; and are highly beautiful and 
valuable.
