Cytandracejl —Bidynamia Angiospermia. 
AEschinanthus pulcher. This splendid plant was sent from 
Java to Mr. Veitch, of the Exeter Nursery, by his collector, Mr. 
T. Lobb. It is chiefly distinguished from A. Lobbianus by its 
broader leaves, shorter tube of the calyx, quite glabrous, and very 
much more exserted tube of the corolla; the calyx of this is 
green, slightly tinged and spotted with red, and the corolla is a 
vivid rich scarlet outside and a pale yellow in the interior of the 
tube.— Bot. Mag. 4264. 
AEschinanthus miniatus. The researches of Mr. Veitch’s col¬ 
lector in Java have brought to our knowledge some remarkable 
new AEschinanths , which had escaped the previous observation 
of persons employed in horticulture. Among them is the present. 
This plant is readily distinguished by its very short, dish-shaped 
calyx, which has scarcely any distinct marginal lobes, and its 
vivid vermilion-coloured flowers, with a yellow star in the throat. 
They approach in form and size the blossoms of AE. Boschianus, 
but are produced even more numerously.— Bot. Beg. 61-47. 
GoodenoviejE. —Pentandria Monogynia. 
Leschenaultia arcuata. A singular and truly handsome species 
of Leschenaultia, exceedingly different from every other known 
one, having copious, spreading, decurved branches, with innumer¬ 
able branchlets, almost every one of which is terminated with a 
large red-purple and yellow flower. Raised by Messrs. Lucombe, 
Pince, and Co., at their extensive nursery, Exeter, from Swan 
River seeds, sent by Mr Drummond. It is a greenhouse plant, 
and the flowers have a good deal the appearance of those of the 
large shrubby Polygalce of South Africa, but here they are ex¬ 
ceedingly numerous upon a small plant. Flowers in August.— 
Bot. Mag. 4265. 
Myrtace^e . —Icosandria Monogynia. 
Eucalyptus Preissiana. A handsome tree-like shrub, with the 
foliage fragrant (like that of the myrtle) when bruised, and 
flowers of rather a large size ; rendered more conspicuous by the 
copious yellow stamens spreading far beyond the diameter of 
the cupula. It is a native of Western Australia, whence seeds 
have been sent from Dr. Preiss, of Swan River, to the Royal 
Gardens of Kew. Our plant flowered in the summer of 1846, 
when it had attained a height of five feet. It thrives in a cool
