Royal Botanic Garden , Edinburgh , during ’ the last three 
months. Communicated by Dr Graham, Regius Professor 
of Botany in the University of Edinburgh. 
Aponogeton distachyon. 
This beautiful aquatic has been in the 
open pond during the whole win- 
ter, and has flowered freely there. 
The season, however, having been 
singularly mild, it is still doubtful 
whether it will bear exposure in 
severe weather. 
Arthropodium cirrhatum. 
Arum triphyllum. 
Begonia argyrostigma. 
Braya alpina. 
Calceolaria corymbosa. 
integrifolia. 
■ rugosa. 
The C. corymbosa and C. rugosa were 
raised in 1822 from seed sent to 
this Garden, through Mr Place, by 
Mr Cruickshanks, resident in Chili. 
The C. corymbosa has stood in the 
open border during last winter, 
and is now in flower there. 
Citharexylon quadrangulare. 
Dorstenia arifolia. 
The leaves in this specimen are en- 
tire, but begin to shew a tendency 
to the divided form possessed by 
the older plant. 
Fuchsia decussata. 
This shrub was raised from seed sent 
by Mr Cruickshanks through the 
same channel as the Calceolarise. 
It is probably the first of the kind 
which has flowered in this country, 
and promises to rival in beauty the 
more familiar species, F. coccinea.
