NEW AND BEAUTIFUL PLANTS. 
NEW BERBERIDE/E. 
Berbeuis dealbata (Whitened Barberry). — A native of Mexico, whence it 
was obtained by the Horticultural Society. This remarkable species is an ever- 
green shrub, which is probably hardy. It is increased by layers, which will root 
in the course of a single season. — Lindl. Bot. Reg. 1750. 
NEW ERXCEiE. 
Rhododendron (Azalea) Indicum speciosum (Showy India Rosebay).— - 
This splendid variety was raised at Coombe Wood, the seat of the late Earl of • 
Liverpool, by Mr. William Smith. It was raised in 1830, from seeds obtained 
from R. Indicum, that had been impregnated with the pollen of Pkceniceum. It is 
nearly hardy, and a very free flower, beginning to blossom about the first of May. — 
Don, in Brit. Fl Gard. 284. 
ASPHO DELEiE. 
Draccena terminalis. (The Sandwich Island Tee-Plant). — One of the most 
graceful of arborescent stove-plants, where there is sufficient height for it to rear its 
slender stem to the elevation of ten or twelve feet. In appearance it resembles a 
palm, and although, when its structure is carefully examined, it is found not to be 
one of that princely tribe, yet there can be no doubt that it seems to connect the 
chain of vegetation, by bringing the asparagus in contact with the cabbage palm. — - 
Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1749. 
NEW AND BEAUTIFUL ORCHIDEiE. 
TRIBE VANDEiE. 
Maxillaria Deppii (Deppe's Maxillaria). — This very fine species was 
received by Mr. Loddiges, from Mr. Deppe, who gathered it near Xalapa, in New 
Spain. It has been figured previously by Messrs. Loddiges, in their Botanical 
Cabinet, page 1612.— Curt. Bot. Mag. 3395. 
Monachanthus viridis ( Green- flowered Cowlwort). — This is the original 
species on which the genus Monachanthus was founded. In habit it is so^like 
Catasetum tridentatum, that it was long doubted whether it ought to be generically 
separated. It is a native of Brazil, growing upon trees in the Corcovado, whence 
Dr. Hooker received the drawing and specimen which first made the genus known. 
It requires the same treatment as Catasetums. — Lindl. in Bot. Reg. fol. 1752. 
Brassia Lanceana (Mr. Lance's Brassia). — A native of Surinam, in woods, 
where it was found growing upon trees, by John Henry Lance, Esq., and by him 
presented to the Horticultural Society, in 1833. It is also wild in Brazil, where it 
was found by Dr. Von Martius, upon the trees on the banks of the river Jui, one 
of the tributaries of the Japura, in the province of Rio Negro, flowering in 
February. It is a very tender species, and requires the hottest and dampest part 
of a stove. The flowers are bright yellow, spotted with brown, and very fragrant. — 
Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1754.
