NEW PLANTS AND SHRUBS. 
541 
et K. (long-flowered Bouvardia.) — Cin- 
chonaceae § Cinchonidas. — A most desirable 
stove plant, of shrubby habit, with ovate acu- 
minate leaves, and terminal branched corymbs 
of large pure white flowers, which exhale a 
most delicious jasmine-like fragrance ; the 
flowers are salver-shaped, with a long slender 
tube, slightly swollen at the end, and termi- 
nated by a limb of four ovate lanceolate 
spreading segments. It is at present very 
rare, being only in the garden of the Earl 
of Derby, who received it from Ifzabal, in 
184.5 (?). It is also found at Santa Anista, 
Queretaro, Huanajuato, and Guatemala. Also 
called Aginetia longiflora. 
Brasavola Digbyana, Lindley, (Mr. 
Digby's Brasavola.) — Orchidacese § Epiden- 
dreos-Laeliadaj. — A stove epiphyte with short 
club-like stems or pseudo-bulbs, and flat oval 
fleshy leaves of a glaucous colour ; the flowers 
are very large, yellowish white, and very 
sweet scented ; the sepals oblong lance- 
shaped, and the lip very large, somewhat 
heart-shaped, and bordered by a deep fringe, 
which gives the flower a shaggy appearance. 
It was introduced from Honduras in 1845 (?) 
by Mrs. McDonald, and bloomed by E. St. 
Vincent Digby, Esq., at Minterne, in July, 
1846. 
BUXUS SEMPERVIRENS, VOT. latifvlid. 
Euphorbiaceas § Buxeae. — A very handsome 
variety of the common evergreen box, with 
very broad and roundish dark green shining 
foliage. It will form a very desirable hardy 
evergreen shrub. 
Caltstegia pubescens, Lindley, (downy 
Calystegia.) — Convolvulaceae § Convolvulefe. 
— A double-flowered Convolvulus is at least a 
novelty. This plant is related to the larger 
bindweeds of our hedges (C. sepium) ; the 
leaves are of the same hastate figure, but 
smaller ; the flowers are double, delicate pink, 
about as large as those of a double anemone, 
but arranged with the regularity of the rose. 
It was sent to this country from China, by 
Mr. Fortune, in 1844. It is probably hardy, 
if planted in a dry situation, and flowers freely 
in July and August. 
Camellia jatonica, var. Beauie Parfait. 
— Ternstrdmiacese. — This is a pretty variety, 
raised by Mr. Daily of Blackheath. The 
flowers are somewhat small, but they are well 
formed, with handsome cupped petals, of a 
deep rose-pink colour. 
Camellia jatonica, var. Beautc Supreme. 
— This is a very handsome variety, in the 
possession of Messrs. Lane and Son, of Berk- 
hampstead. The flowers are large, finely 
formed, full of even closely-imbricated re- 
flexed petals, and of a deep rose-pink, or 
delicate pale rose colour. 
Campanula nobilis, Lindley, (noble 
Beilwort.) — Campanulacea? § Campanuleae. — 
A fine herbaceous perennial, believed to be 
hardy, but not yet tested. It produces a tuft 
of rather large heart-shaped leaves, from 
among which the flower stem arises to the 
height of a foot and a half, or more, bearing 
several large drooping, bell-shaped, pale purple 
flowers, which in the inside are abundantly 
sprinkled with bright purple dots. It flowers 
in May, and is allied closely to the Canterbury- 
bell (C. medium). Introduced by Mr. For- 
tune from Chusan and Shanghae, to the 
garden of the Horticultural Society, in 1844 
Castilleja lithospermoides, Humboldt, 
B. et K. (lithospermum-like Castilleja.) — 
Scrophulariaceaa § Euphrasies. — A handsome 
half-hardy herbaceous perennial, growing from 
one foot to a foot and a half high, with lance- 
shaped linear entire leaves, and greenish white 
flowers, growing in a dense spike at the end 
of the shoots, and nearly hidden by large con- 
spicuous bracts, the upper half of which is of 
a bright scarlet colour. It flowers throughout 
the summer when planted in the open border. 
The beauty of the plant consists in the bright 
scarlet colour of the bracts which accompany 
the blossoms. It is a native of New Spain, 
near Real del Monte and Moran, and at Quito, 
at a considerable elevation above the sea, and 
has also been raised from seeds received from 
Texas in 1845, by Mr. Cattell, nurseryman of 
"Westerham. The genus is reputed to be 
difficult of culture, succeeding best in peat 
soil, and requiring the protection of a frame 
in winter. 
Cattleta Lemonlana, Lindley, (Sir C. 
Lemon's Cattleya.) — Orchidacere § Epiden- 
dreai-Lailiadoe. — A very ornamental stove 
epiphyte, with short pseudo-bulbs, each pro- 
ducing a thick obtuse oblong-lanceolate leaf 
from the top, accompanied by the scape, 
usually two-flowered ; the flowers are large, 
of a pale rosy lilac, the lip rolled up in a con- 
volute manner, and pale yellow in the interior. 
It was imported in 1842 from Brazil, by Sir 
C. Lemon, Bart., in whose garden, atCarclew, 
it flowered for the first time, in 1845. 
Cereus speciosissimds, var. Allnuttii, 
Cactacca) § Cereida?. — This is a seedling, raised 
between C. speciosissimus, and C. grandiflorus 
(the ni^ht-blooniing Cereus): it has in some 
measure the habit of both these, and its flowers, 
which appear to be of short duration, or do 
not open well in the day time, are of an orange- 
scarlet tint. It was raised by J. Allnutt, Esq. 
of Clapham, in 1845 (?). 
Cereus flagellifokmis, vur.roseapendula. 
— A handsome hybrid cactus, with long tiian- 
gular trailing stems, like the creeping Cereus, 
(C. Jlagelliformis,) and having rosy-pink 
flowers, much larger than those of that kind: 
it was raised in 1845 (?) by Mr. Errington,
