It is estimated, by Humboldt, that Leguminous, 
or Pea-flowering plants, constitute one-eleventh of 
the flora of the whole earth. Although in this, as 
in almost every other class of natural productions, 
those of a tropical climate excel in splendour, those 
indigenous to more northern latitudes, nevertheless 
our own Leguminous Furze and Broom, however 
negligently they may be passed in review, possess 
a splendour of no inferior order when judged of in 
the mass, and compared with plants of the same 
class, whose individual blossoms may be incom- 
parably more variable in colour, and magnificent in 
dimensions. 0 
Like Coronilla glauca, Valentina, now figured, is 
one amongst the prettiest of window plants. It is 
smaller in all its parts than glauca ; and with a 
little attention bestowed on pruning it, immediately 
after its flowers have faded, it may be kept to a 
compact little bush of any desired shape. At this 
period of its growth, the application of a little 
liquid manure to it, with additional warmth, would 
add much to its luxuriance and beauty.
