Begonia, see No. 32. This species was introduced by the late R. Barclay, 
Esq. from the Berlin gardens. It is easily propagated by cuttings, which should 
be planted in sand, and assisted in their rooting by a little heat. pax. bot. 125.

o rang e-coloured BURES aria. II Flower, 9? inch II flowers in October, orange and brown. 
So named in allusion to the double strap or fraenum, that connects the pollen 
masses with their gland. A pretty epiphyte ; which owes its chief attraction to its 
deep orange yellow colour, mottled with rich brown. bot. reg. iS75.

thread-leaved COREOPSIS. I Flon’er,14 inch II flowers in August and Sept, yellow. 
Coreopsis, see No. 241. Filifolia, from the Latin filus, thread. This Sir 
W illiam Hooker says, has the narrowest foliage of all the divided leaved species 
of Coreopsis. It is a neat upright annual, of branching habit. bot. iuag. 3505.

Crataegus, No. 145. In foliage and elegance of general appearance, this, says 
Dr. Lindley, is the handsomest of the European Hawthorns. Its Howers in spring, 
and foliage in autumn, outlive those of the common Hawthorn. bot. reg. 1874.

This Crataegus, like the numerous other species lately introduced to notice, is 
growing in the London Horticultural Gardens. It is less elegant than most oth- 
ers, from its loose habit of growth, and it loses its leaves earlier. bot. reg.1877.

DRYAN'DRA pteridifo'liA. II Bf"* II Greenhouse evergreen shrub, New 
FERN-LEAVED DRYANDRA. II Flower, 3 inch II Holland, 1824, flowers March to Dec. 
Jonas Dryander, a distinguished botanist, is commemorated in our present gen- 
eric name. This is a rather singular Australian Dwarf shrub, grown at the Kew 
Gardens. The culture is noticed in the Auctarium, No. 123. bot. mag. 3500 .

HARE-LIPPED epidendrum. II Flower, ljinch II Indies, 1834?flow .July, green &brown. 
Epidendrum, see No. 4. The partial division of the lip, into two distinct lobes, 
gave the idea of calling it hare-lipped. The species, auropurpureum, has a sim- 
ilar peculiarity, but none other of the known Epidendrums. bot. reg. 1879.

SMALL-FLOWERED GAURA. II Flower, inch II 1835, flowers in August, rose-colour. 
Named from the Greek gaurus, superb. However imposing may be the name 
of this genus, it has nothing to recommend it for garden culture. Its flowers are 
too diminutive to mingle with the splendour of modern gardens, bot. mag. 3506.
