NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE GREENHOUSE PLANTS’. 
CRINUM AUSTRALE. 
Tliis plant, which Mr. Bentham refers to C. pcdunculalum, hears tho name of Botany-hay Lily,, 
and is an ornamental bulbous plant, requiring greenhouse temperature. The bulbs are smooth, thick, 
and cylindrical. The flowers, which are very fragrant, are numerous, from ten to fifteen in an umbel, 
each attached by a pedicel longer than the ovary, and consisting of a long slender tube, and a spreading 
or recurved limb of six white segments. 5s. and 7s. 6 (7.

CYCLAMEN PERSICUM, 
Too much can scarcely be said in favour of the superb varieties of this plant, of which the old 
C. pcrsicum is the type, whether they are regarded as objects for the ornamentation of the greenhouse 
or conservatory, or for table decoration, for which their compact floriferous character eminently fits 
them. The flowers are also extremely useful for bouquets, and when plucked, if kept in water, they 
will last in freshness and beauty for some weeks — indeed, almost longer than any other flowers witln 
which we are acquainted.
