FLORICULTURAL NOTICES. 
It belongs to the pseudo-bulbous division of the genus, and the bulbs, which are 
short and tetragonous, are produced very densely on a creeping rhizoma, each 
being surmounted by a single oblong, obtuse leaf. Its flowers appear solitarily on 
short, attenuated peduncles, and are very similar to those of D. aggregatum in 
form and colour. Captain Jenkins furnished plants of it to the Calcutta Botanic 
Garden, having obtained them at Gualpara, India. Some specimens were trans- 
mitted by Dr. Wallich to this country, one of which Messrs. Loddiges succeeded in 
flowering in September, 1838. It should be cultivated on a piece of wood, and the 
roots surrounded with a little adhesive heath-soil or moss; as it will not thrive if 
confined to a pot. Bot. Reg. 37- 
NEW, RARE, AND INTERESTING PLANTS IN FLOWER IN THE PRINCIPAL 
SUBURBAN NURSERIES. 
Callipr6ra lutea. This is an interesting little bulbous plant, producing, from 
the extremities of slender stems about a foot in height, umbels of deep yellow 
flowers ; which latter are rather more than half an inch in diameter. The leaves 
are long, narrow, and insignificant ; the blossoms alone entitling it to attention : 
and these have each six light-green streaks diverging from their centres at equal 
distances. It is undoubtedly allied to the genus Allium, and we presume it to be 
a half-hardy plant, though at present kept in the greenhouse of Messrs. Low and 
Co., Clapton, who possess flowering specimens. Its native country is California. 
Campanula Carolina. In the establishment of Messrs. Henderson, Pine- 
Apple Place, this exceedingly pretty species is at present most densely studded with 
pale blue blossoms. It is of a dwarf, suffruticose, and symmetrical habit, the 
whole plant being covered with a whitish down, and the flowers, which are about 
an inch in diameter, and expand themselves in a horizontal direction, appear in 
the greatest abundance. For greenhouse purposes, or for growing in a pot in any 
situation, we know no species better adapted than the present ; and there are 
certainly not many plants of its class more ornamental when in flower. 
Campanula punctata. Few gardens contain specimens of this old but most 
delightful plant. Like that previously noticed, it is best calculated for pot culture, 
but is much more diminutive in height, and requires to be elevated on a stage or 
other conspicuous position. Notwithstanding its small size, the flowers are rather 
more than two inches long, and as they are solitary, pure white, and beautifully 
spotted with purple on the interior, the leaves being also smooth and bright green, 
it presents altogether a unique and fascinating appearance. We saw it flowering, 
about a fortnight since, in the rich herbaceous collection of Messrs. Young, 
Epsom. 
Clerodendron squamatum. Our reasons for the present allusion to this old 
but very handsome stove plant, are to commend it to public attention as a valuable
