TINNEA /CTHIOPICA. 
(VIOLET-SCENTED TINNEA.) 
It is uncertain who was the first disooverer of this plant, for it was found by Dr. Kirk during Dr. 
Livingstone’s exploration of the Zambesi river ; by Captain Grant, during his journey with tho 
lamented Captain Speke to the upper waters of the Nile ; aud by Mdlle. Tinne, during her journey 
up the Nile ; though we owe to Mdlle. Tinne the introduction of the plant, which is named in 
honour of her. It is a warm greenhouse plant, and is remarkable for tho maroon purple colour ol 
its flowers, and for possessing the delicious perfume of violets. It grows to the height of 5 or G 
feet, forming a bush.

lipped, pink or lilac rose, produced in spikes.

ALLAMANDA HENDERSONI. 
This remarkably fiuo variety has been imported from Guiana. It is the largest flowered orange 
yellow Allamanda known, lobes finely formed, immensely thick and wax-liko, and tiugod with 
brown on the reverse side. The plant begins to flower about the same time as the other Allamandas, 
but when once it commences it possesses the excellent characteristic of being continuous flowering ; 
thus the blooming-time is prolonged throughout the season, so that it will be invaluable for 
exhibition purposes, and as a free-growing climber unequalled. Tho habit is good, with excellent 
rich dark green glossy foliage. A well-executed drawing of it, by Andrews, can be seen at my 
establishment. 
It has received two First Class Certificates for its superior meiit.
