NEW AND RARE PLANTS*. 
Calceolaria purpurea, pict^, Painted Slipperwort. An acci¬ 
dental variety ofC. purpurea, stated to be first raised by Mr. Wheeler, 
nurseryman, at Gloucester. It differs from purpurea in nothing but 
colour, and the greener hue of the whole herbage. Its copious deli¬ 
cate white blossoms, marked with a broad purple band, render it an 
agreeable addition to the already numerous cultivated varieties of 
this genus.— Siveet's FI Gard.

the hills about Valparaiso, in Chile. It was introduced about four

LEGUMINOSiE. 
Colvillea racemosa. —Splendid Colvillea. This truly splendid 
plant is probably a native of the east coast of Africa: but was only 
seen by Professor Bojer, in 1824, in the Bay of Bombatoe, on the 
western coast of Madagascar, where a single tree was cultivated by 
the inhabitants. That indefatigable naturalist raised it from seeds, 
which he took to the Mauritius, where it has perfectly succeeded; 
and we may soon expect to add this most ornamental plant to the 
stoves of our own country .—Botanical Magazine. The flowers are 
rich orange. 
Gastrolobium ret us um.— Blunt-leaved Gastrolobium. This 
pretty little shrub was first raised at the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, 
in 1831, from seed brought home from New Holland, by Dr. Lang.

quire the shelter of the greenhouse, and the same treatment as other 
plants from the same country.

mental, slender shrub, rising three or more feet high. A native of
