DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF NEW PLANTS, 
241 
leaves are shining, deep green, and each consists of three sessile 
leaflets of an ovate form. They fall off early in the autumn, 
soon after which they are succeeded by large, yellow, scentless 
flowers, which grow singly from the buds formed in the axils of 
the leaves that have previously dropped. The limb of their 
corolla is about an inch in diameter, and divided into six broad, 
oblong, blunt, flat segments. 
It appears to be a greenhouse plant, and grows freely in 
almost any sort of soil, especially rough sandy peat, and, being a 
free winter bloomer, and continuing in flower for a length of 
time, it will, doubtless, prove a good addition to our greenhouse 
plants.— Bot. Reg. 48-46. 
LardizabalacEjE. —Moncecia Hexandria. 
Holbollia latifolia. A new hardy, or half-hardy climbing 
shrub, with ample deep green foliage, from the axils of which 
are produced clusters of green flowers. It flowered with L. W. 
Dillwyn Esq., of Sketty Hall, near Swansea, perhaps for the 
first time in Europe, on a south wall without protection, in the 
beginning of last March. Mr. Dillwyn informs us that the 
female blossoms have a faint, sweet smell, such as is common in 
flowers of the same colour, but this smell is infinitely more 
powerful in the males, which, towards sunset, fill the air, in 
favorable weather, for several yards around, with a delicious 
perfume. It is a native of India, and was named by Dr. Wallich 
in compliment to Mr. Frederick Louis Holbcele, Superintendent 
of the Royal Botanic Garden at Copenhagen.— Bot. Reg. 49-46. 
Liliace^e . —Hexandria Monoggnia . 
Lilium sanguineum. This is said to be a plant of Japanese 
origin, and, if so, it is, no doubt, one of the discoveries of 
Siebold ; hut we find no record of it in books. It is remarkable 
for its dwarfness, not growing more than twelve or eighteen 
inches high, and for the vivid colour of its large, solitary, orange- 
red flowers. It might be supposed to be a variety of L. Thun - 
bergianum } but that plant has a tall hairy stem bearing several 
flowers of a larger size, with much shorter stamens, and a less 
brilliant colour. The divisions of the flower are, moreover, very 
distinctly stalked, which brings the species nearer to L. Phila- 
i. 20
