ARAUCARIA ELEGANS. 
This pretty plant has been introducoct from New Caledonia, in which country it prows to only 
about one-third the size of the other species and varieties of Araucaria, with which it is found 
associated. It is not only less in height and in diameter, but its branches and general character 
are altogether more slender and elegant; the leaflets and branches are of a rich dark green, 
li guineas. 
ARAUCARIA EXCELSA. 
10.». 6rf. and 16«. Handsome specimens in all sizes, from 2 to 15 guineas. 
ARAUCARIA EXCELSA GLAUCA.

ARAUCARIA RULEI. 
A handsome ornamental plant, introduced from Now Caledonia. It has verticillate horizontally 
spread branches, the leafy twigs very long, about an inch in diameter, with oval elliptic appressed 
leaves, rounded and subcarinato beneath, and curved towards the trunk. 15«., I, and 2 guineas. 
BLANDFORDIA CUNNINGHAMII. 
The late Dr. Lindley, in describing the previously known kinds of this tribe, thus refers to 
Blawlfovdia CunninghuniU : — “ None of them are to be compared for beauty with a plant of which 
the late Allan Cunningham gave me a specimen, the flowers of which arc fully twice as large as 
B. marginata {tjrandijiora). The leaves have neither serratures nor roughness on the edge, but are 
perfectly smooth. The flowers are of a deep rich rod tint, except at the ends of the petals, where 
they are yellow. 
To lovers of rare and handsome-flowering greenhouse plants this will bo found a valuable 
addition. 155. and 1 guinea. 
BOTRYODENDRON LATIFOLITTM, 15s. | BORONIAS, OP SORTS, Is. Gd. and 2s. Gd. each. 
BRACHYCHITON POPULIFOLIA. 
This is the remarkable aud curious-growing Bottle Tree of Australia. I5s. 
CALCEOLARIA PAVONII. 
A tall-growing greenhouse perennial, attaining some G or 8 feet in height, and proving suitable 
for open air culture in summer. The stem and loaves are clothed with soft close hairs. The leaves 
are rugose, deltoid, ovate, slightly lobcd, with the edges serrated, amploxicaul, the petioles broadly 
wingod, tbo wing widening downwards from the base of the leaf, and about an inch broad where it 
joins tho opposito one at the node. Tho flowers form large branched leafy panicles, and are of a 
canary yellow, with the largo lower lip folded upwards against the smaller upper one, while the 
throat is marked inside with a purplish red stain. This remarkable and interesting species is a 
native of the Andes of Peru, and is lignred in tho J3otanical Magazine, tab. 4525. Its continuous 
and sucoessional growth and bloom render it well suited for the flower garden, where plants of tall 
and remarkable character can be appropriately introduced, and it proves very efleotive for sub- 
tropical gardening. 3s. Gd. 
CASIMIROA EDULIS. 
This new fruit has been sent mo by that zealous botanist and enterprising traveller. Dr. Soemann. 
In writing from Nicaragua bo says : — “ With other seeds I have tho pleasure to send Casimiroa 
eduUs, a large fruit like an apple, which was brought to this country from Mexico by the soldiers 
and colonists of Montezuma, and of which you will see a figure in Botany of the ‘Herald.’ I fancy 
it may prove hardy in the southern parts of England, and might be introduced into Australia with 
the greatest advantage, as it is evergreen, aud capable of standing any amount of drought, aud some 
degree of cold.” I guinea. 
CEPHALOTUS FOLLICULARIS. 
This most singular aud highly interesting little object is the New Holland Pitcher Plant. It forms 
a neat dwarf tuft of 1 to 2 inches in height, with small oblong leaves and remarkable roundly- 
oblong depressed pitcher-shaped organs of a comparatively largo size. It forms one of the most 
■wondGrftil illustrations of vegetable structure and economy yet known. 2s. Go!., 3s. Gd., and 6s.
