chidacece. “ This very singular plant was given to 
Mr. Bateman by Mr. VVilliam Hooper of Lambeth, 
who received it from Rio in 1836. It is a remark- 
able genus, resembling Mcgaclininm in some 
respects, but belonging in reality to Vandece, among 
which it is marked by the nearly total absence of 
petals, the cirrhate column, and the soft fleshy 
cinnamon coloured gland, to which a pair of reni- 
form pollen masses are slightly attached. In this 
division of Orchidaceee it is uncertain where it must 
stand; probably other genera still undiscovered 
will connect it with the system better than can at 
present be done.” — Bot. Reg.

MANDBvii.iJi, Lindley. Named after Henry John 
Mandeville, Esq., H.B.M. Minister at Buenos 
Ayres, to whom w’e are indebted for the introduc- 
tion of this and many interesting plants. Linn. 5, 
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Apocynaceae. This new climber, 
according to Lindley, is remarkable for its de- 
liciously sweet, snowy white, and very beautiful 
flowers “ It will,” says he, “ probably form an 
abundant flowerer; but, like all seedling shrubs, 
its first stage of growth is more productive of foliage 
than blossoms.” — Bot. Reg. It appears that, in 
order to grow this plant to perfection, it should be 
planted out in the border of the conservatory. If 
cultivated during summer in the open air, or in 
pots in the greenhouse, it grows freely, but does 
not flower. After the flowering season is over, the 
plants should be pruned similarly to vines, or other 
plants which bear their flowers and fruit upon 
the wood of the same year. It may be propa- 
gated by cuttings or seeds, sown in a pit, with a 
little heat.

Manolesia, Lindley. This plant has found its way 
into gardens, having been raised from Swan River 
seed by Robert Mangles, Esq., of Sunning Hill. 
It is a Proteaceous plant, allied to Grevillea, with 
neat toothed, long-stalked leaves, and very small, 
white flowers, of no beauty. It is for its foliage 
alone that it will be cultivated.” — Bot. Reg.
