For the meaning of the generic name, see No. 49. This curious plant, impor- 
ted by the Messrs” Loddiges, partakes of the character of both Catasetum and the 
now-abolished Myanthus ; but does not agree exactly with either, bot. reg.G3.

Chloraea, from the Greek chloros green, in allusion to the colour of the flow- 
ers of some species. This is the first of the genus which has been introduced 
to England. It flowered at W. J. Myer’s, Esq. Aighburgh. botanist, 94 .

Dryandra, see No. 307. A genus nearly allied to Banksia. The whole order 
is remarkable for the hard woody texture of the leaves of all the species which it 
comprises. Our present plant has not a showy flower. bot. mag. 3236.

The name Gongora was adopted after a Spaniard of this name, a friend of Mu- 
tis. The flower of this plant is both singular and beautiful. Its shape exhibits 
what some persons would call a rather odd freak of nature. bot. mag. 3gst.

The derivation of Helianthus is stated under No. 326. The plant here fig- 
ured resembles one not unfrequently met with in our gardens. Sir W. J. Hooker 
suggests that the present name has previously been misapplied. bot. mag. 3 g» 9 .

The generic name is compounded of two Greek words helios, sun ; and chru- 
sos, gold, in allusion to the brilliancy of the yellow flowers of the original IJeli- 
chrysum. A beautiful new annual — suitable for the greenhouse. botanist, 92 .

Hovea, see N o. 553. This plant is so nearly allied to Hovea lanceolata as 
scarcely to warrant a distinction. Ur. Linlley says, “The hairiness of the un- 
derside of the leaves is quite different”— a difference certainly. bot. reg. 62.
