FLORICULTURAL INTELLIGENCE. 
New and very Rare Plants, Figured in the Periodicals for February, 1833. 
CLASS I.—DICOTYLEDONOUS PLANTS, OR EXOGENES. 
APOCYNEE. 
Beaumo'ntia grandiflora. —Large flowered Beaumontia.—A climbing shrub, 
in its native country of vast extent. Flowers very fragrant, large, bell shaped, 
white or cream coloured, and of a somewhat leathery texture, resembling the 
Brugmansia (Datura) arborea. Native of Eastern Bengal, where it grows at 
Chittagony and Sylhet, as it does also at Noakote, in Nepaul. It was introduced 
in 1818 by Dr. Wallich.— Bot. Mag. Culture—It is a stove plant and should 
be planted in rich light soil or loam and peat, it strikes from cuttings in a moist 
heat. 
scrophularine. 
Calceolaria integrifOlia viscosissima. —Very viscid entire-leaved Cal¬ 
ceolaria. Flowers yellow, changing when dried to a full reddish-orange. An 
hybrid, raised by ^fr. Cameron, at the Birmingham Botanical Garden.— Bot. 
Mag. Culture.—We suppose it requires the greenhouse, should be planted in 
rich light mould, and may be propagated by cuttings. 
COMPOSITE. 
Cineraria Tussilaginis. —Coltsfoot Cineraria. An Annual, growing about 
a foot high. Flowers large, lilac-purple, handsome. Raised at the Birmingham 
Botanical Garden, from seeds sent from the Island of Teneriffe, where alone it 
appears to be a native. Culture.—It requires the warmth of the greenhouse, 
and perhaps may be found in summer to blossom freely in the open air.— Bot. 
Mag. The soil should be light and sandy; it is propagated by seeds. 
LOACEE. 
Loasa Placei nov. var. —Mr. Place’s New Loasa.—An herbaceous plant, 
three to lour feet high. Flowers yellow, rather small for the size of the plant. 
Seeds were sent to the Glasgow Botanic Garden, from Aconcagua in Chili, by 
Dr. Gillies. It differs from the true L. Placei of Mr. Lindley, as figured in the 
Botanical Register, 785, in its shorter and broader leaves, and more obtuse and 
shorter lobes, and in the smaller flowers.— Bot. Mag. Culture.—It will flower 
i n the open borders in light sandy soil, and may be increased by seeds. 
SOLANEE. 
Sol'anum runcin'atum. —Runcinate-leaved Nightshade. An herbaceous 
plant with purple flowers. Native of ^Chili, whence it was introduced in 1832, 
by Mr. Hugh Cumming. Culture.—It succeeds well in common garden soil, 
and is easily increased by cuttings or suckers, which it sends forth in abundance. 
— Sweet’s Flower Garden. 
LOBELIA CEE. 
Lobelia colorata. —Red-leaved Lobelia. A showy perennial hybrid, with 
azure-blue flowers, tinged with purple. Most probably derived from the inter¬ 
mixture of L. coerulea, and cardinalis. It formed part of a collection of plants, 
received by Mr. Dennis, from North America; it is highly ornamental, and well
