Class I. PLANTS HAVING TWO COTYLEDONES (DYCOTYLEDONES.) 
SCROPHULARINEiE. 
Calceolaria crenatiflora Knypersliensis, Knypersley Slip- 
perwort.—This fine variety is a hybrid offspring between C. crenati¬ 
flora and atrosanguinea, and was raised by Mr. P. N. Don, at Kny¬ 
persley Hall, Staffordshire, the seat of James Bateman, Esq. It 
grows well in a mixture of leaf mould and sand, and like the rest of 
the species it loves shade. It can only be increased by slips. The 
flowers are bright yellow, with a large patch of chocolate brown on 
the lower lip.— See Brit. FI. Gard. 262. 
Mimulus luteus Youngana, Mr. Youngs Monkey Flower.— 
This is a beautiful variety of the lutea greatly resembling the M. 
Smithii. The corolla is of a rich full yellow, and every segment 
marked with a blotch of rich red-brown inclining to blood colour. It 
is perfectly hardy.— Bot. Mag. 3363. 
BOMBACEiE. 
Eridodendron anfractuosum Caribcenumi Five-Stammed 
Silk-Cotton Tree, Caribean Variety.—An elegant as well as singular 
looking tree, of which the present variety is a native of the West In¬ 
dies, but cultivated in Madeira, where it rises with a clear, straight, 
slender stem to a considerable height, and then throws out somewhat 
distant spreading or nearly horizontal branches, which, like the stem 
in young trees, are covered with a shining, smooth, green bark; this, 
however, soon becomes grayish, and almost hidden by very large, 
and remarkable prickles. Flowers of a delicate pale primrose, or 
cream colour, streaked with deep purplish red.— Bot. Mag. 3360. 
ONAGRARIiE. 
CEnothera drummondi, Mr. Drummond’s Evening Primrose. 
—The present is one of two CEnotheras ; of which seeds were trans¬ 
mitted from Bragosia by Mr. Drummond, the Assistant-Naturalist 
in Capt. Sir John Franklin’s over-land expedition. In size and co¬ 
lour the blossoms of this species, vie with those of CEnothera macro- 
carpa, Missouriensis, and Grandiflora, but in other respects differs 
considerably from them. It flourishes in the open air though a native 
of Texas.— Bot. Mag. 3361. 
solanea:. 
Salpiglossis straminea picta, Straw-coloured Salpiglossis, 
Painted variety.—That this elegant plant is a mere variety of S.
