PAEMENTIERA CEREIFEBA— Continued. 
It has opposite trifoliolated leaves and large" white blossoms, which, in its native habitat, are 
given throughout the year, but are in the gi'oatest abundance during the rainy season. 
Tho work just alluded to states, that previously only one species of Parmentiera, P. cthtlis, was 
known to exist ; the fruit of which, called Qualixilotl, is eaten by the Mexicans, while that of P. 
cercifera serves for food to numerous herds of cattle. 
As in most of the Crescontiaooas, the flowers grow out of tho old wood ; the fruit is fleshy and tho 
seeds very small, not larger than lentils.

few other plants. 
Extract froji tur Gardeners* Chronicle : — 
Mr. Bull has sent us a very interesting sot of blooms of seedlings of Ivy-leaved Pelargoniums, 
some of which will bo acquisitions for tho purposes to which these plants are adapted. They vary 
in tint fi'om blush white, through many shades, to deep bright rosy lilac, and are sometimes marked 
with a bar or flamo only along the base of the veins of the upj^er petals, sometimes with a bright 
spot in addition. Wo have hei’e an indication that tho Ivy-loaved section is likely to become an 
extensive one — a matter of congratulation, seeing that the plants are useful in many ways for 
decorative gardening, especially for cultivation in vases and suspended flower baskets.”
