DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF NEW PLANTS. 
by Mr. Thomas Lobb. It flowered in July, 1847. It belongs to 
the same group of the genus with II. Pottsii, but it has much 
more showy flowers, and the nervation of the leaves is consider¬ 
ably different. The stem is terete, glabrous, and twining; the 
leaves are large, ovate, slightly peltate and acuminate, between 
coriaceous and fleshy, five-nerved, the three central ones very 
conspicuous, both above and below. The flowers are borne in a 
dense hemispherical umbel: they are large and rather showy, 
from the effect of the different colours of the staminal crown; 
the corolla being pale yellow-green, and the leaflets of the crown 
a deep purple blood-colour.— Bot. Mag. 4347- 
Ceropegia Cumingiana (Decaisne). Received from Java by 
Messrs. Veitch and Sons, through their collector, Mr. Thos. Lobb. 
A glabrous, climbing stove-plant, with opposite leaves, which are 
ovato-acuminate, cordate at the base, often tinged with brown, and 
with the costa red; peduncle reaching about as far as the middle 
of the leaf, terminated by a cyme of eight to ten flowers; corolla 
one and a half to two inches long; the tube contracted in the middle, 
cream-coloured; the limb chocolate-purple, with apale transverse 
band ; the segments connivent, large. Staminal crown double, ex¬ 
terior of five, short, obtuse, double, slightly incurved teeth; interior 
of as many elongated, clavato-ligulate ones, connivent, three or four 
times as long as the outer ; all pilose.— Bot. Mag. 4349. 
LeguminostE. —Polygamia Polyandria. 
Acacia leptoneura (Beuth.) Remarkable for its graceful, 
slender branches, loaded with deep, orange-yellow heads of flowers. 
It is a straggling shrub of five or six feet in height. Thephyllodia 
(or leaves) are alternate, two to three inches long, subulate, or 
rather filiform, with a sharp, hooked point, minutely and copiously 
nerved or striated.— Bot. Mag. 4350. 
CiNCHONACEiE. Tetandria Monogynia. 
Ixora Javanica (Paxton.) This very beautiful species bears 
some resemblance to Ixora crocata, but is much superior to it 
both in flower and habit. It is a native of Java, as its specific 
name indicates, where it grows in the woods on the mountain 
sides, and forms a broad spreading bush. It has been lately 
introduced by Messrs. Veitch and Son through their collector, and 
appears a very free-growing kind. The flowers are rich orange- 
vermilion, borne in dense terminal corymbs.— Pax. Mag. Bot.
