REMARKS ON A FEW SELECT FLOWERING SHRUBS. 
Habeothamnus fasciculatus, Fascicle-floivered Habrothamnus. — A very hand- 
some but somewhat tender plant, requiring the shelter of a wall, and a light dry soil. 
See " Mag. Bot.," xiv., t. 193. 
Miteaeia coccinea, Scarlet-flowering Mitraria. — A singularly beautiful plant, 
a member of a very tender order ; will require a warm situation, and the support of 
a stake. See " Mag. Bot." xv., t 148. 
Rhododendeon Standishii, Mr. Standislis Rhododendron. — An hybrid of a 
very superior character, with violet crimson flowers, and a fine compact growth. 
See "Mag. Bot." xv., t. 55. 
Rhododendeon baebatum, Bearded 'Rhododendron. — A beautiful deep rose- 
coloured or rather scarlet species, from the north of India. The trusses of flowers 
are round, compact, and smaller than the Indian species generally, but are very 
conspicuous. 
Ribes Sanguinea floee pleno. — This kind of scarlet currant blooms later 
than the old R. sanguinea, and also remains much longer in flower than that species. 
It will grow in any soil and situation, and increases freely by cuttings. " Mag. Bot." 
xii., t. 121. 
Shrubs with Rose-coloured Flowers. 
Azalea ovata, Ovate-leaved Azalea. — A fine new species introduced from China. 
It grows in some parts of its native country to the height of eight or ten feet, but on 
hilly situations it seldom reaches more than two or three. The flowers are produced 
in great profusion during April and May, and the plant must be grown in a warm 
and dry situation. 
Daphne japonica, Japan Daphne. — The flowers of this fine kind emit a very 
agreeable fragrance. The plant requires to be grown in a warm situation. " Mag. 
Bot." viii., t. 175. 
Escallonia Oeganensis, Organ Mountain Escallonia. — A lovely bush, growing 
two feet high, and requiring light soil and a dry warm situation. The flowers are a 
very deep rose, and propagation is effected by cuttings, struck under glass in a 
little heat. 
Habeothamnus coeymbosus, Corymb-flowered Habrothamnus. — A free bloomer, 
and more hardy than H. fasciculatus, The situation must be dry and warm, and it 
will be the better for the protection of a wall during the winter. 
Indtgofeea dosua, Dosua Indigo. — Sent to the Horticultural Society by 
Dr. Falconer, from the Botanic Garden, Saharanpur. Its pinnated leaves and 
racemes of handsome pea-shaped flowers render it a very pretty object. It grows 
freely from cuttings, and forms only a small and slender bush. 
Rhododendeon Apeilis. — An hybrid possessing considerable attractions. The 
flowers are of a very pale rose colour, and are produced abundantly. 
Rhododendeon chatvle-cistus, Ground- Cistus Rhododendron. — A plant with a 
very dwarf habit, but producing large conspicuous flowers of a pale rose colour. It
