lesser ALTAIC FRITILLARY. II Flower, 1 inch I tains, in 1830, flowers in May, purple. 
Fritillaria, from Fritillus, a chess-board ; in allusion to its checkered sepals. 
This species has much the appearance of our native meleagris, but is smaller, 
and of more elegant shape. bot. mag. 3280 .

I Lea f, 4 inch 1 
mountain FUCHSIA. || piowep, 2 inch i tains, 1841, flowers in Aug., crimson. 
Fuchsia, named after Fuchs, a German botanist. A rampant species, said to 
grow twenty feet high in its native country ; but it is far less abundantly flowered 
than most of our favourite old species of Fuchsia. bot. mag. 3999 . 
1576. didynamia, angiospermia. gesnerace*:. 
GESNE'RIA POLY AN'THA.ii Plant* 2 feet jl stove herb, perennial, Organ Moun- 
M ANY-FLOWERED GESNERIA. | ffower, 2 inch I tains, 1837, flowers in August, scarlet. 
Gesneria after Gesner, the botanist of Zurich. Its panicles of rich scailet 
flowers, with their yellow mouths, strongly recommend this plant. Introduced 
by the Messrs. Veitch, from their collector above mentioned. bot. mag. 3995 . 
1577. TETRANDRIA, MONOGYNIA. PROTEACE/E. 
GR EVIL' LEA ARENA'RIA. |[ Plant 5 feet 1 Greenhouse evergr. shrub, New South 
SAND grevillea. || Flower, 'inch li Wales, 1803, flowers in spring, purple. 
Grevillia in compliment to the Hon. Charles Francis Greville. Not very 
handsome ; but, like several of the same genus, should be tried as an out-of-door 
ornament. Some species will certainly bear our milder winters, bot. mag. 3285. 
1578. ICOSANDRIA MONOGYNIA. MYRTACEiE. 
H YPOCALYM'M A robus'tum II Plant, l foot ll Greenhouse shrub, sent from Swan 
larger peach myrtle. It piower, 4 inch li River, in 1839, flowers in June, pink. 
Hypocalymma, from the Greek words upo, kalumma, signifying under a veil ; 
its calyx being partially hidden by bracts. A neat little shrub \ novel, inasmuch 
as the Myrtles are rarely found with pink blossoms. bot. reg. 8 , 1843.

DOWNY SOUTH AMERICAN LATHY. |j Flower, 1 Inch I 1835? flowers in May, purplish-blue. 
Lathyrus, see No. 1542. Had it been hardy, this Pea may have been worth 
a place in the border ; but its beauty would not prove a remunerative rent for a 
residence in the greenhouse. bot. mag. 3996. 
1580. HEXANDRIA, MONOGYNIA. LILIACEA1. 
LIL'IUM TESTA'CEUM. II Plant, 4 feet II Frame bulb, introduced from Japan, 
YELLOW JAPAN LILY. II Flower, 3J inch •> in 1840, flowers in June, yellow. 
Lilium, from the Celtic Li, whiteness. This newly-introduced bulb possesses 
no peculiarity of character worth notice. Being too tender for the open borders, 
it may be looked on as superseded by our hardy martagons. bot. nEG. n, m3.

POPPY-LIKE NUTTALLIA. || Flower, ineb |] in 1883, flowers in August, lilac. 
Nuttallia in compliment to Mr. Thomas Nuttall, an American botanist. Like 
many others of the Malvacea;, it has a showy but rather loose flower. Its foliage 
is elegantly digitate; no lady need covet a longer finger. bot. mag. 32S7.
