flowers, the calyx is far more obtuse at the base, the leaves are much 
broader and coarser, and ol a darker colour, and the whole plant is

LEGUMINOSiE 
Acacia lineata. Narrow Lined-leaved Acacia.—A shrub of 
bushy growth, frequent in the interior of New South Wales, in bar¬ 
ren forest-grounds lying West from Wellington Valley, in longitude 
148 deg. East; as also in the country on the North from the settle¬ 
ment of Bathurst, where it flowers throughout the winter months. 
May—July, and ripens its legumes in December.— Bot. Mag. 3346. 
Flowers yellow. The plant requires the greenhouse. 
Indigofera violacea. Purple Indigo Plant. This very hand¬ 
some shrub has stood for several years in the open air, in the Bota¬ 
nic Garden, Edinburgh, and flowered for the first time in July, 1834.

Lupinus nanus, Dw r arf Lupine.—We have no prettier annual 
than this little Lupine, which has recently been introduced from Ca¬ 
lifornia by the Horticultural Society. It forms a low tufted plant, 
from six inches to a foot in height, producing a succession of upright 
shoots, terminated by several tiers of flowers, which continue to open 
in succession for tw r o months. The colours being bright purple, inter¬ 
mingled with white and rose, a gay variegated appearance is produced, 
w r hich is extremely agreeable, when the plant is grown in masses. It is 
well adapted for covering flower-beds, or for forming a compartment 
in a parterre, or for the edge of a small clump, or in short for any 
purpose which requires neatness and a protracted blooming. If sowm 
in the autumn, it will flower in May and June; if sown in spring, 
it will be in beauty in August and September : and by deferring the 
period of sowing till the beginning of June, it may be made to blos¬ 
som as late as November.— Botan. Reg. 1705. 
RUBIACEiE. 
Gardenia Florida simplici, Single-flowered Cape Jasmine.— 
This flowered at Wentworth, in June, 1834, and differs chiefly from 
the G. fiorida in the greater length of the tube of the corolla, and in 
the leaves being much more crowded towards the extremities of the 
branches.— Bot. Mag. 3349. 
ERICEiE. 
Azalea Indica lateritia , Brick-red Chinese Azalea.—This plant 
is remarkably bushy. Its foliage is a rich deep green, to which a 
slight rusty tinge is given by the numerous brown hairs of the mid¬ 
rib and margin : the leaves are narrow, very blunt, and remarkably
