THE LADIES’ MAGAZINE OF GARDENING. 
pale brown and yellow, insignificant flowers. It flowered for the first 
time in England, at Woburn, in April 1840. 
Malva lateritia , (t. 3846). A new Ma}low, with pale, brick-coloured 
flowers. It is a hardy perennial from Buenos Ayres, with prostrate 
stems. The flowers are pretty, and their pale colour is relieved by a ring 
of deep rose-colour inside the cup. 
Orthosiphon incurvus , (t. 3847). A new stove plant from the East 
Indies, with pale pink labiate flowers. It flowered for the first time in 
England, at Syon. 
Angelonia cornigera , (t. 3848). A new species of Angelonia, found 
in Brazil, by Mr. Gardner, in 1839. The flowers are purple, and bear 
some slight resemblance to those of the Pentstemons ; but they^ are much 
smaller. It is a stove annual. 
These are all the plants figured in the Botanical Magazine, and five out 
of the six are new; or at least have never been figured in any British 
botanical periodical before. The handsomest is decidedly the new Tro- 
pseolum, which promises to be a showy plant for arbours and trellis-work 
in the open ground. 
The Botanical Register contains figures of the following plants: 
Echeveria lurida , (t. 1 for 1841). A new greenhouse perennial, with 
4C a circular patch” of leaves like those of the Houseleek, and a long spike 
of rather small scarlet flowers. Neither the native country nor year of 
introduction is mentioned. 
Gongora bufonia , (t. 2). A new Brazilian epiphyte, with curious 
flowers of a dingy yellow, spotted with a dull purple. 
Euthales macrophylla , (t. 3). A new Australian perennial, with yellow 
flowers, raised from seeds sent to Captain Mangles (to w^hom the flori- 
cultural world owes so much) by Mrs. Molloy. The flowers are yellow, 
with a brown spot in the centre, and they are produced in great abundance. 
Spirted Kamchatka , var. himalensis, (t. 4). A new perennial Spiraea 
with white flowers, from the Himalayas, which is quite hardy in British 
gardens. It was raised from seeds imported by Dr. Royle in 1838. 
Martynia fragrans. (t. 6.) A half-hardy Mexican annual, of great 
beauty and delightful fragrance. Its form is very similar to that of the 
three species of Martynia figured in Plate 40 of my Ladies’ Flower Garden 
of Ornamental Annuals; but the colour, which is of a purplish crimson, 
is much finer. 
Plate 5 contains five flowers of different kinds of Catasetum, of no 
interest except to the growers of Orchideous plants. All the plants in 
the Botanical Register for January have never been figured before.
