Europe; flowers plentifully in April, and is perennial and quite hardy. Cn- 
mellia Jupunica lt6ssn\ —this fine red variety, was raised by the late Mr. Wil¬ 
liam Ross, of Stoke Newington, Pintelin DiosmcefoUa ;—this is a native of 
New Holland, and is nearly related to P.Dencssata and between which, 
it ranks intermediately. Govenia Supcrla; —this is an elegant plant, and is 
suspected to be the same with Maocilaria t^tiiperha laLlave. It was re¬ 
ceived from Mr. Deppe, at Xalapa, in the autumn of 1828. Its bright yellow 
flowers emit a delicate fragrance. It requires the stove, and should be potted 
in vegetable earth with a little sand. Arabia Unduluta ; —this is a native of 
the south of Europe, and was introduced in 1823, and although it is in some 
books called an annual, Messrs. Loddiges suppose it to be a perennial. It has 
very delicate white flowers.

Ajax Cernuus, Drooping Creamy-White Ajax;—this beautiful plant, has 
been confused with Ajax Moachdtns, by all Botanists, until Mr. Haworth ob¬ 
tained it from Mr. Ellicomb, of Bitton; and on comparing it with Roth’s 
Beitrage, he immediately recognized it to be the same as his Ccrmaia. It is 
certainly the most distinct and handsome species of the whole genus, and is 
nearest related to Narcissus MoschatuadLnd N. Turtuusus, particularly the latter 
with which it agrees precisely in colour, being of a pale yellow. TtdipaOcula.s 
Solis, Tulip;—We are glad, (says the Editor,) to have the oppor¬ 
tunity of presenting our readers with the true Oculaa Solis, which has never 
been before published in any modern English Publication. The three, figured 
in the Botanical Register, all belong to T. Pracox, of Tenore, which is the 
one already figured in our Flower Garden, which we received from Tenore 
himself. The variety given by Mr. Bindley, in the last number of the Botani¬ 
cal Register, (for June, p. 1419) is precisely the same figured in that work, in 
a former number, Vol. III. t. 304, and both are precisely the same as ours, 
figured in the first series of our Flower Garden, 1.157; so that the true Oculaa 
Solis, has not been figured at all. The Persian Oculus Solis, with its gigantic 
flowers, and hairy instead of woolly bulb, is, without doubt, a very distinct 
species. Aquilegia Garnieridm, Miss Garnier’s Columbine;—this beautiful 
and splendid hybrid, was raised from seeds in the collection of Miss Gamier, 
of Wickham, Hants. The seeds were produced from A Sibirica; figured at 
40 of the new series of the Flower Garden. It was impregnated with the 
pollen oi A. Nulgaris. It is quite hardy, succeeds well in the open borders, 
and nearly equals A, Sibirica in beauty. Its colour is a beautiful purple. 
fFistcria Frufescens, American Wisteria;—this beautiful climbing plant, is the 
original species of JVisteria, of Nuttal, who named it “in memory of Casper 
Wister, M.D., late Professor of Anatomy in the University of Pennsylvania, 
and for many years President of the American Philosophical Society.” This 
plant is superior in beauty to fF, Chimusis, to which the flowers have a near 
resemblance. It is a very free bloomer; strikes readily from cuttings, planted 
under a hand-glass, with a little heat. The glass, however, must have a little 
air given it, or they will dam[) otF.
