342 THE LADIES’ MAGAZINE OF GARDENING. 
Pharbitis Learii , Lindl. The beautiful plant already so well known 
under the name of Ipomoea Learii. 
Coelogym cristata , Lindl. A handsome Indian epiphyte, with large 
white and yellow flowers. 
Mirbelia speciosa , Lindl. A handsome New Holland dwarf shrub, with 
abundance of pale purple flowers, which flowered at Messrs. Loddiges’. 
It is nearly allied to M.floribunda. 
In Paxton’s Magazine of Botany for July are the following plants- 
Goldfussiaglomerata. A showy stove plant, which has been figured before. 
Boronia ledifolia. The same plant as is figured in the Botanical 
Register for September, as a variety of B. triphylla. 
Pascalia glauca. This very showy, bright, golden yellow flower, bears 
some resemblance to a sunflower, but it is distinguished from that well- 
known flower by an “ elegance of character in the stem and leaves, a 
gracefulness and length in the flower-stalk, and a certain style of beauty 
in the buds and flowers.” It was introduced from Chili forty or fifty 
years ago, but being only half-hardy, it is by no means common in gardens. 
It is increased by dividing the roots in spring instead of autumn. 
Lilium speciosum , var. album. A splendid Japan lily, the flowers 
with recurved petals, but quite white. 
Paxton’s Magazine for August contains :— 
Galeandra Devoniana. A handsome orchideous plant, from British 
Guiana, the stems of which often grow five or six feet high, the blossoms 
being white and purple. 
Zichya pannosa. A showy climber from the Swan River, of luxuriant 
growth, and producing a profusion of clusters of its dark scarlet flowers. 
Erica Jacksonii. A hybrid between E. Irbyana and E. retorta . 
Lechenaultia biloba. This blue Lechenaultia excited so much attention 
during last summer, that it is now become pretty generally known. It 
is a pretty plant, though very far inferior to the well-known favourite, 
L. formosa , the dark scarlet flowers of which enliven our greenhouses 
during so large a portion of the year. 
Paxton for September contains :— 
Rosa Demniensis. A very large, cream-coloured hybrid rose, very 
fragrant, flowered by Messrs. Lucombe and Prince, of the Exeter nursery. 
Schizanthus Emnsianus. A very beautiful and distinct hybrid 
Schizanthus, raised in 1839 by Mr. Evans, gardener to Mrs. Batty, at 
New Hall, near Salisbury.
