The generic name, Anemone, lias been noticed 
under No. 1105, where was introduced the Anemone 
J aponica, which had been brought to England from 
China, by Mr. Fortune. Another novelty, from the 
same quarter ol the globe, is here brought under 
consideration ; and its dowers of snowy white, as its 
name implies, but with shaded purple exterior, are 
deserving of the attention of the numerous cultiva- 
tors who are now desirous of exhibiting the mani- 
fold beauties attainable in the open dower garden. 
With this new species we were favoured by the 
Messrs. Pope, of Handswortli, who state that it was 
raised by Mr. Moore, Curator of the Glasnevin 
Botanic Garden, Dublin, from seeds, which it is 
believed had been brought to this country from 
North India. It is a plant which has hitherto ad- 
mitted of but very slow increase by the division of 
offsets, therefore its chief propagation must be 
dependant on seeds. 
Much knowledge of its habits has not yet been 
obtained ; it has, however, proved fully capable of 
bearing our winter frosts ; and appears to dourish 
in a dry situation.
