Natural History . — Botany. 407 
of the central part of its leaf, of which the margin is yellow- 
green ; and figured, it appears, principally with a view to illus- 
trate the character of the genus, by the dissections of the flower. 
T. 37. Caprifolium pubescens , a charming, new, yellow-flow- 
ered, and sweet-scented Honeysuckle , recently discovered in the 
interior of Canada, by Mr Goldie, and at present only to be 
seen in the garden of Mr Smith, nurseryman, of Monkswood 
Grove, Ayr ; who, however, is increasing it by cuttings, that it 
may be extensively distributed. 
T. 28. Anemia humilis : one of the smallest of the fern tribe, 
of the division Osmundace^ of Mr Brown, and not much un- 
like the great Flowering-Fern (Osmunda regalis) in miniature. 
T. 29. and 30. represent two species of Hydrocotyle , II. ni- 
lidula and H. nepalensis. The latter is remarkable for a strong 
carrot-like taste in the leaf, a circumstance, we are told, which 
it has in common with a nearly allied species from Tris- 
tan d’ Acunha, the H. capitata of our countryman Captain 
Carmichael, in his very interesting memoir on the natural his- 
tory of that island, published in the 12th volume of the Lin- 
nean Transactions. 
T. 31. a new Osbeckia from Nepal, O. nepalensis , with very 
large and handsome flowers, and quite unlike any previously 
described species. 
T. 32. Stylidium laricifolium , with ample analysis of its high- 
ly curious parts of fructification, which have been nowhera else 
satisfactorily represented, but in Mr Bauer’s Illustrations of Mr 
Brown’s Prodr omus of the Flora of New Holland. 
T. 33. Another elegant fern, and of easy cultivation in the 
stove, Heniionitis palmata. 
In no respect, either in the execution of the plates, or in the 
interest of the subjects, is this second part of the Exotic Flora 
inferior to the first, of which we gave so favourable an account 
in our Number for October ; and it is gratifying to us, as Scotsmen, 
to be able to announce the appearance of a publication which 
has so many claims to the attention of the scientific botanist. 
37. Mr Gremllds Scottish Cryptogamic Flora.* — Eight num- 
bers of this useful and original work have already appeared ; 
and we are happy to find, from the estimation in which it is held 
by the public, that its regular continuance is secured.
