Chorozema spectabile, Lind. A pretty Chorozema, raised in 1840 by 
Messrs. James Dickson and Co., of Edinburgh, from seeds received from 
New Holland. 
The Botanical Register for September contains :— 
Boronia triphylla , (3 latifolia , Sieb.; B. ledifolia , Hort. A very pretty 
New Holland shrub, with clusters of star-like flowers, of a “ deep, rich, 
ruby red.” It is suitable for a greenhouse, or the window of a living- 
room, and it requires the same treatment as a Diosma. 
Odontoglossum pulchellum , Bate. An orchideous plant from Guate¬ 
mala, with white flowers. On this plant Dr. Lindley observes, “ it is now 
well known that many orchidaceous plants from Mexico and Guatemala 
require less heat than is generally kept in our moist stoves, and to many 
of them it is particularly injurious, if applied at those seasons when the 
plants are in a resting state. This is a plant belonging to this class ; and 
therefore there is nothing worse than over excitement, caused by the 
application of a high temperature and moisture at those seasons when it 
ought to be kept cool and dry.” 
JEschynanthus grandiflorus , Spreng. A splendid stove plant, now 
become common in collections. 
Blacea ornata , Miers. A pretty little bulb, a native of Chili, not yet 
introduced. 
Clianthiis carneus , Lindl.; Streblorhiza speciosa , Endl. This plant is 
a half-hardy evergreen twiner, with pink flowers, like those of Clianthus 
puniceus in shape. It grows and flowers freely, only requiring a good 
loamy soil, and it is now becoming tolerably common in the nurseries; at 
least I have found it in several places, particularly in the nursery of 
Messrs. Backhouse, at York. 
Dendrobium discolor , Lindl. An orchideous epiphyte, with yellowish 
brown flowers, from Java; introduced in 1838. 
The Botanical Register for October contains :— 
Taberncemontana dichotomy Roxb. A beautiful stove plant, with 
large, white, very fragrant flowers, from Ceylon. 
Statice monopetala , Lin. This species, which has deep, rose-coloured 
flowers, differs so much from the common sea Lavenders as to be 
thought by Dr. Lindley to belong to another genus. It is very nearly 
hardy. 
Bossicea disticha , Lindl. “ A pretty little shrub, raised in the garden 
of the Horticultural Society, from Swan River seed, presented by Captain 
James Mangles, R.N., and flowering in March.”
