Five of the plates in this No. contain new flowers, all of which are of 
rare bulbs. 
The Botanical Register for April contains— 
Colea jloribunda (t. 19). This very singular plant is most nearly allied 
to the Bignonia, or Trumpet flower. It has bright yellovr and white 
flowers, produced in rings round the stem, always growing on the old 
wood, like those of the Judas-tree. It is a native of Madagascar, and 
requires a stove in England. 
Impatiens Candida (t. 20). This is another of the new Nepaul Touch- 
me-nots, and it has large white flowers, slightly speckled with crimson. 
It is a half-hardy annual. 
Armeria fasciculata (t. 21). A shrubby species of Thrift, which is 
half-hardy in British gardens. 
Triptilion spinosum (t. 22). This very beautiful little plant belongs 
to the Composite. It is a native of Chili; and is difficult to flower in 
England. It is generally kept in a greenhouse. It was introduced in 
1827. 
Chysis bractescens (t. 23). A very handsome Mexican epiphyte, with 
white and yellow flowers. 
None of these plants have been figured before. 
In Paxton’s Magazine of Botany there are— 
Odontoglossum grande. A magnificent orchideous plant. 
Gentiana septemjida. A pretty blue Gentiana, introduced many years 
since, and before figured in Bot. Mag. t. 1229; and 
Prince Albert’s Camellia , a variety of C. japonica, raised by Messrs. 
Chandler. 
The orchideous plant, which is most beautifully executed, and the 
Camellia are new.
