white ladies slipper. || Flower, 3 inch I rica, in 1800, flowers in June, white. 
Cypripedium, see No. 2276. This very interesting genus is sadly neglected by 
cultivators of hardy plants. Although hardy, we recommend their being kept with 
the alpines; where, in sandy peat, they will flower in perfection- bot.mag.215.

Didymodon.see No. 2960. This is a summer-growing moss, fructifying about 
Midsummer. It is rather confined in its habitat, having been found only on 
grassy banks in the limestone districts of North Wales and Anglesea.

Ixora, see No. 2099. Although of a less specious character than some of the 
more recently-introduced species of Ixora, this yields to none in its beautifully 
delicate tint. Its corymbs, numerously flowered, are very handsome, bot.rec.cao.

Named in honour of A. B. Lambert, Esq., F. R. S. This, the first introduced 
species to Great Britain, forms, not by name alone, but in reality, a handsome 
ornament to the greenhouse. Its flowers are very interesting. bot. reg. 628 .

Polytrichum, see No. 2520. This moss, like Polytrichum commune, and some 
others, often produces terminal star-like heads, or gemmte ; containing, as well as 
the capsules, little bodies capable of reproducing their species.

Stylidium, see No. 2634. Highly curious. Here the style and stamens are 
united into a column resembling orchidaceous plants. It is exceedingly irritable, 
and if touched, it springs to the opposite side of the flower. bot. mag. ibis.

Tortula,see No. 2522. This little moss flourishes in winter, when the larger 
vegetables have sunk to rest. It grovvk hi-small tufts, on walls and banks, and 
has chiefly been found in the southern d^mets of England.

Tulipa, from Thoulyban, its Persian name. Many admirers of the splendidly 
emblazoned prize Tulips would, doubtless, delight in possessing this, the most deli- 
cate and diminutive, to place in contrast with their favourites. bot. reg. 685.
