FLORICULTURAL NOTICES.

in an inordinately high temperature ; but, when kept in a cold house or frame, 
and sometimes a little pruned, it may be made quite sufficiently bushy. The 
leaves are diminutive, linear, and mucronulate, while the blossoms are of a deep 
crimson, relieved by yellow in the centre. Mr. Knight, Chelsea, possesses flower- 
ing plants ; and it is decidedly a gem among the Australian flowers with which 
our gardens are so profusely stocked. 
Crinum undulatum. As the species of this noble genus are very little known, 
and inadequately prized, we shall perhaps be contributing to the more enlarged 
cultivation of the most worthy ones by intimating that flowering plants of the 
above delightful species may be readily witnessed at Messrs. Henderson's, Pine- 
Apple Place. The characteristics by which it obtrudes itself on our attention, 
are the little room it occupies, the shortness of its flower-stalks, the number and 
large dimensions of its blossoms, and their very delicious odour. The leaves are 
rather long, but flaccid, and partly pendent, their margins being irregularly 
undulated, and their colour a rich and shining light green. The flowers are pure 
white. It flourishes in a warm stove, requiring only a small pot ; and plants of 
moderate size produce several strong spikes of flowers. 
Dendrobium macrophyllum. In our last Number, p. 68, this fine species 
was accidentally called D. macrochilum, and we now wish to rectify that mistake, 
as the appellation refers to the singular broadness of its leaves. 
Grevillea longif6lia. The curious genus Grevillea has been much enriched, 
as far as respects foliage, by the numerous recent arrivals of seeds from the Swan 
River Colony. Unfortunately, however, the flowers of most of these have proved 
inconspicuous, and unsuited to compete with those of the highly ornate shrubs at 
present in our collections. "Where very peculiar leaves are desired, G. longifolia 
will assuredly obtain a place, since its foliage is exactly like that of a Banksia. 
It is of a considerable length, with many deep sinuses on the margin, and the 
projecting portions acute. Of the blossoms, it can only be said that they are 
reddish-yellow, but certainly not ornamental. They may be inspected at this 
time in the greenhouse of Mr. Knight, Chelsea. 
Kennedya ? An apparently new species of Kennedya is flowering at 
Messrs. Young's, Epsom, which, in the brilliant colours of its flowers, seems to us 
surpassingly good, although neither the size of these nor its general character is 
particularly remarkable. Very dwarf specimens are producing their blossoms in 
the greenhouse, and others, much attenuated, are blooming in the stove ; but the 
former is evidently the proper situation, as the plant is a native of the Swan 
River Colony. Its stems are shrubby, numerous, and naturally prostrate ; but, 
like those of K. prostrata, capable of being trained in an upright position. The 
leaves have very long petioles, and are trifoliolate, while the leaflets are obcordate, 
mucronulate, of a more lively green than those of K. prostrata. with a few long 
closely-pressed hairs on the upper side, and a greater quantity beneath, especially 
on the mid-rib. The flowers are axillary, solitary hitherto, on long peduncles ;
