Aris.*ma, Bentham. ** A small, stemless plant, with 
tuberoils roots like those of the common Arum, 
purple stalked pedate leaves, and a pink or purple 
spathe from five to six inches long. It will probably 
form a greenhouse herbaceous plant. Mr. Hartweg 
found it in shady woods near Morelia flowering in 
July, and sent it to the Horticultural Society, with 
whom it has been raised.” — Bot. Reg.

Orchidacece. “ One of the most graceful and beau- 
tiful of the Mexican Orchidaceae ; recently intro- 
duced. The stem is slender and a foot or a f^oot 
and half high, with the sheaths as rough as shagreen 
leather; it is terminated by one long, curved leaf, 
from the axil of which there curves, in an opposite 
direction, a dense spike of pink, or pale purple 
flowers. It is a species of great rarity even in 
Mexico, where it has hitherto been only seen at 
Sultepec and near Arimbaro, growing upon trees.” 
— Bot. Reg. The genus belongs to Epidendrece, and 
may therefore, probably, be referred to the other 
genera of this sub-order for cultivation, &c.

Astelia, R. Brown. From a, without, stelechos, a stem. 
Linn. — , Or. — , Nat. Or. Asphodeleae. A curious 
plant, with the flowers of which we are unac- 
quainted. It thrives in the greenhouse, in a light 
loamy soil, and produces an abundance of offsets. 
These, if detached, and planted either in sawdust 
or very porous earth, with a slight bottom heat, 
will speedily form roots.

AsteracXntha. From aster, a star, and akantha, a 
spine. “ This is a handsome, greenhouse, herba- 
ceous perennial, seeds of which were sent to the 
Horticultural Society by Mr. M'Culloch, one of 
the gardeners to His Highness the Pacha of Egypt. 
If care is taken to reduce the vigour of leaves, by 
not giving the plant too much shade and moisture, 
it becomes very handsome, but if it is permitted 
to run ‘ to leaf’ too much, its beauty is consider- 
ably impaired.” — Bot, Reg.
