FLORICULTURAL NOTICES.

not more than eight or nine leaves remaining on each side of them. One peculiarity 
of the foliage is, that each leaf is a little twisted ; it is, besides, long, narrow, and 
emarginate. Only one flower appears to expand on each stem at the same time ; 
these being moderately large, and of a very deep pink, with a white spot at the 
base of the labellum, which adds greatly to their beauty. Messrs. Loddiges have 
a plant at present in flower. Its native country is Guiana. 
Fuchsia glob5sa ; var. devonia. In the greenhouse of Messrs. Henderson, 
Pine- Apple Place, we observed last month a very handsome Fuchsia, bearing 
the above name. It is most probably a hybrid, having been obtained from 
some collection near Exeter; but, notwithstanding the difficulty which both 
the botanist and cultivator experience in distinguishing hybrid Fuchsias on 
account of their great and continually increasing numbers, and the consequent 
injudiciousness of adding other names to the list, this plant seems to us entitled to 
permanent regard. It has a noble habit, fine foliage, and particularly large 
flowers ; though these last have a much shorter and more expansive corolla, and 
likewise a stronger and shorter flower-stalk than the F. globosa elegans, of which a 
drawing was published in a former volume of this work. 
HibIscus Cameronii. We presume this is an English hybrid, named after 
Mr. Cameron, curator of the Birmingham Botanic Garden. It is slightly similar 
to H. splendens in the colour of the flower ; these being, however, much lighter, 
while the leaves are smoother, and the whole plant less robust. We saw a flowering 
specimen at Messrs. Low and Co/s, Clapton, in September last ; and blossoms yet 
continue unfolding on the same plant. It appears to be a kind that, owing to its 
disposition to flower profusely, and at an early stage of its existence, will prove 
an excellent ornament to the stove, and probably to the greenhouse. 
Ipom^a Learii. There is undoubtedly a close affinity between this superb 
new species and /. ruhro-coerulea, and, a3 certainly, a decided difference. It will 
be sufficient at present to state that this consists chiefly in the hairiness of /. Learii, 
the deeper colour, and more conspicuous stripes of its flowers, and their production 
in more dense clusters on shorter lateral shoots. We shall in due time publish an 
excellent drawing which our artist has made from a plant that flowered in the 
stove of Mr. Knight, Chelsea, by whom it was imported, and named after the 
person who transmitted it to Britain. 
Jacksonia grandifl6ra. One of the elegant floral products of the Swan 
River Colony, plants of which have been raised in the nursery of Messrs. Low 
and Co., Clapton, where it is at the present time exhibiting its blossoms. The 
appearance of the plant is precisely that of some species of Genista, as it seems 
destitute of any other foliage than such as assimilates to the branches. This 
character, however, renders it graceful, and the pretty, pendent, pale yellow flowers, 
which are blotched in the centre with brownish purple, likewise tend to constitute 
it a desirable feature in a greenhouse. 
Nuttallia cordata. This interesting herbaceous plant approaches nearest to
