Chorozema Diclcsonii. A very showy species of Chorozema, which has 
been figured before. 
Daphne japonica. A beautiful Daphne, remarkable 44 for the broad 
yellow margin of its fine evergreen foliage, and for the delicious scent of 
its flowerstheir fragrance resembling that of the leaves of the lemon- 
scented Yerbena, Aloysia citriodora. It has hitherto only been kept in a 
greenhouse, but it will most probably prove, like the other Japan shrubs, 
quite hardy. 
Paxton’s Magazine for October contains :— 
Burlingtonia rigida, A very beautiful and singular orchideous plant, 
with very pale pink flowers, produced in heads or clusters. 
Kaulfussia amelloides. A well-known annual, frequently figured 
before, but perhaps never so well. 
Cuphea Melmllia. An old, but very showy perennial, with clusters of 
crimson and green flowers, requiring a stove in England. 
Tropceolmn Moritzianum. A showy perennial species of Tropceolum, 
figured before. 
The Botanist for September contains : — 
Bigonia nitida , Hort. Kew.; B. obliqua , L’Herit. A greenhouse 
species, with large white flowers, from the mountains of Jamaica, intro¬ 
duced in 1779. 
Gonolobus kispidus , Hook. A handsome twining shrub, with dark red 
flowers, before figured in the Botanical Magazine. 
Genista bracteolata , Lindl.; Cytisus chrysobotrys , Hort. A native of 
Teneriffe, with large yellow flowers. 
Lobelia Cavanillesii , Martius. This is one of those plants usually called 
Siphocampylus , and it is very much like S. bicolor. 
\ 
In addition to the above plants, I may mention a very beautiful 
Heliclirysum which I saw at York, in the nursery of the Messrs. Back¬ 
house ; H. retortum , a native of the Cape of Good Hope. It has short 
recurved leaves, covered with white down, and white flowers tinged with 
pink on the back. It was introduced about fifty years ago, but was soon 
lost; and it has been now re-introduced by Mr. J. Backhouse, who has 
lately returned from South Africa.
