Description, &c.—A very handsome species, the seeds of which were imported from the Swan River in 1836. 
The plant was first raised in Great Britain at Edinburgh.

Encravincs.—Bot. Reg., t. 1528; Paxt. Mag. of Bot., vol. iv., | Segments of the calyx acuminate.  Peduncles very long, naked,

Speciric Cuaracter.—Stem weak, ascending. Leaves ovate, acute. 
Dzscription, &c.—A pretty little plant, of which Dr. Lindley says, that it is nearly allied to C. rhombeum, and 
yet perfectly distinct from that species. It flowers in May, but less abundantly than most of the other species. 
“It was introduced by Baxter in 1831. 
6.—CHOROZEMA CORDATUM Lindl. THE CORDATE-LEAVED CHOROZEMA.

Speciric Cuaracter.—Leaves cordate-ovate; margin sinuately 
Description, &c.—A yery pretty species, though with rather small and few flowers. A native of the Swan 
River Colony, whence seeds were imported by Robert Mangles, Esq., of Sunning Hill. This species is one of 
the most free-growing of the genus, as a plant of it, when only twelve months old, was two feet and a half high. 
The stem, however, is not strong enough to support itself, and as it does not cling to anything naturally, it requires 
careful training. The species was introduced in 18387. 
7.—CHOROZEMA VARIUM Lindl. THE VARIOUS-LEAVED CHOROZEMA. 
Eneravines.—Bot. Reg. for 1839, t. 49; and our fig. 4, in Pl. 22. | undulated, spinosely-dentate, entire, pubescent. Racemes erect, many- 
Speciric Cuaracter.—Leayes almost sessile, subrotund-cordate, | flowered, longer than the leaves. Calyx obtuse at the base, hairy. 
Dexscription, &c.—This is the most popular of all the kinds of Chorozema, as it grows freely, and may 
be readily struck by cuttings, or raised from seeds. The only care that it requires is to let it have plenty of air 
and not too much water, as it is rather apt to damp off just above the ground as soon as it has done flowering. _ It 
was introduced in 18387. 
8.—CHOROZEMA SPARTIOIDES Lodd. THE BROOM-LIKE CHOROZEMA. 
Eneravines.—Lodd. Bot. Cab., t. 1953; Paxt. Mag. of Bot., vol. x., p. 127 ; and our jig. 5, in Pl. 22. 
Speciric Cuaracrer.—Branches irregular, drooping. Leaves few, sessile, rather spathulate, retuse. Peduncles very long, axillary. 
Description, &c.—This species was raised originally by Messrs. Loddiges, in 1832, and they found it such 
a small, weak plant, that they expressed a fear when they figured it in their Botanical Cabinet, that they should 
not be able to propagate it. When, however, it was raised at Chatsworth, Mr» Paxton states that though he found 
it grew with a short stem, it spread out its branches to a considerable extent horizontally, and when trained over
