DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF NEW PLANTS.

flowers are terminal, and, though nodding, are not pendulous ; 
the perianth is three-leaved, deep vivid scarlet, with a triangular 
black spot at the base of each leaf, somewhat concave and 
divided to the base. It should be potted in light rich mould, 
and grown in a mild stove temperature. — Pax . Mag. Bot. 
Caryophyllacejd .—Decandria Bigynia. 
Bianthus Hendersonianus. No particulars are known respect¬ 
ing the origin of this beautiful pink, but, from its mode of 
blooming and general growth, we suspect it to be a hybrid betwixt 
B. caryophyllus and B. Chinensis, the leaves and flower stem 
resembling the former, and the flowers approaching the latter; 
they are very double and of the richest crimson. It forms a 
very brilliant border plant, and is also well suited for pot culture.

IRiDACEiE .—Triandria Monogynia. 
Trichonemata Grceca, vars. subpalustre, and pylium (Herbert). 
We much regret our inability to furnish any account of these 
two pretty Trichonemes, which were collected by our late lamented 
friend the Dean of Manchester. All we can learn is that T. 
subpalustre was found at Salonica and in the Ionian islands, and 
T. pylium at Navarino. Mr. Herbert regarded them as perfectly 
new forms, distinct from all that have yet been made known. 
We have not seen even a dried specimen of them, and reluctantly 
leave them to some future botanist for elucidation. (T. sub¬ 
palustre has pale blue and white flowers, and in T. pylium the 
flowers are white, shaded with yellow in the middle ; they are both 
dwarf crocus-like flowers.)— Bot. Beg. 40-47. 
Orchidace^:. — Gynandria Monandria. 
Bendrobium (. Bendrocoryne ) chrysotoxum (Lindley). The 
Dendrocorynes or Club Dendrobes form a peculiar group in the 
large genus to which they belong, best, perhaps, characterized by 
their having a fleshy, angular stem, with two or more manifest 
articulations, one or more leaves at the upper end, and a lip not 
broken up into a tuft of hair or fringes. They are, as it were, 
Bolbophylls passing into Dendrobes. In the group thus limited 
are included B. densiflorum Griffithii, aggregatum , tetragonum i 
Veitchianum , speciosum , and some others formerly placed in 
ii. 16
