by Dr. Graham in the Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal in January 
1836. It is quite hardy. 
Bignonia speciosa , Graham. A very handsome stove climber, intro¬ 
duced from Buenos Ayres in 1838. The flowers are of a pale pinkish 
lilac. 
Pernettya angustifolia , Lindl. A pretty little hardy shrub, with white 
flowers, belonging to the Ericacece ; figured in the Botanical Register. 
Oncidium monoceras , Hook. A small-flowered Oncidium, from the 
Organ Mountains of Brazil; very different from the common species of 
the genus. It was sent to England in September 1839. 
Physianthus auricomus , Graham. A very handsome plant, which 
differs from the common species chiefly in being covered with spreading, 
harsh, yellow hairs. It is a native of Brazil. From the figure, the 
flowers are neither so large nor so handsome as those of Physianthus 
albens ; and it will probably prove as hardy as that species, though it is 
marked in the Botanical Magazine as a stove-climber. 
The Botanical Register for August contains— 
Oxalis fruticosa , Aug. St. Hilaire. The shrubby wood-sorrel. A very 
interesting plant, with a woody stem, and leaves which resemble those of a 
kind of grass, but which on examination will be found to be only dilated 
footstalks, as in many cases the leaves will be found at their extremity. 
The plant is a native of Brazil, whence it has only lately been introduced ; 
and in England it requires a moist stove. 
Eria armeniaca , Lindl. An orchideous plant, with a large spike of 
flowers with richly-coloured bracts. It should be potted in peat or moss, 
and kept at “ the warmest end of a damp stove.” It is a native of 
the Philippine Islands. 
Convolvulus scoparius , Willd. Canary rosewood. Oil of Rhodium 
is obtained from this plant, and its wood smells strongly of roses. It is 
a native of the Canaries, whence it was introduced many years ago. The 
flowers are white and small. It requires a greenhouse in England. 
Salvia tuhifera , Cav.; Salvia longijlora , Willd. A Mexican species, 
forming a bush about three feet high, with long racemes of slender 
crimson flowers at the end of every branch. It flowers in winter, and 
requires to be kept in the greenhouse. It is quite new. 
Chorozema spectabile , Lindl. A new Chorozema of great beauty, with 
long drooping racemes of large orange-coloured flowers. It is a native of 
the Swan River, and forms a greenhouse twiner in England. 
Berberis coriaria , Royle. A new Nepaul shrub, resembling B. 
aristata , but with “ more lanceolate leaves, and shorter, less corymbose
