REMARKS ON A FEW SELECT FLOWERING SHRUBS. 
Habrothamnus 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. 
Mitraria coccinea, Scarlet-floivering 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. 
Bhododendron Standishii, Mr. StandisJis Rhododendron. — An hybrid of a 
very superior character, with violet crimson flowers, and a fine compact growth, j 
See “Mag. Bot.” xv., t. 55. 
Bhododendron barbatum. Bearded Rhododendron. — A beautiful deep rose- I 
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. i 
Bibes Sanguinea FLORE 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. 12 1 . j 
Shrubs with Rose-coloured Flowers. il 
Azalea ovata. Ovate-leaved Azalea. — A fine new species introduced from China. |j 
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 ij 
in great profusion during April and May, and the plant must be grown in a warm | 
and dry situation. j 
Daphne japonica, Japan DajJine. — The flowers of this fine kind emit a very | 
agreeable fragrance. The plant requires to be grown in a warm situation. “ Mag. j 
Bot.” viii., t. 175. j 
Escallonia Organensis, Organ Mountain Escallonia. — A lovely bush, growing j 
two feet high, and requiring light soil and a dry warm situation. The flowers are a j 
very deep rose, and propagation is effected by cuttings, struck under glass in a I 
little heat. j 
Habrothamnus corymbosus, Corymb-Jioivered Habrothamnus. — A free bloomer, 1 
and more hardy than H. fascicidatus. The situation must be dry and warm, and it ^ 
will be the better for the protection of a wall during the winter. I 
Indtgofera dosua, Dosua Indigo. — Sent to the Horticultural Society by I 
Dr. Falconer, from the Botanic Garden, Saharanpur. Its pinnated leaves and i 
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. 
Bhododendron Aprilis. — An hybrid possessing considerable attractions. The 
flowers are of a very pale rose colour, and are produced abundantly. 
Bhododendron cham.e-cistus, Ground-Cistus Rhododendron. — A plant with a | 
very dwarf habit, but producing large conspicuous flowers of a pale rose colour. It I
