showy border flowers, it being one of the most elegant of thespeciesof (Enotheni. 
Its flowers are large, and of a white colour, it is a native of Chiloe, from whence 
seeds were sent to Mr. Page, by Lieutenant Barlow, in 1828. Androsuce Carinuta., 
Keeled-leaved Androsace ;—this elegant little plant is a native of North Amer¬ 
ica, on the rocky mountains, where it was first discovered by Dr. James, and since 
by Dr. Drummond, who collected seeds of it, a part of which was presented by 
him to the Royal Botanical Garden at Edinburgh, in 1828, under the name of 
Androsdce C/uiincvJdHme, which it very much resembles; the flowers are white, 
yellow at the mouth, and very sweet scented. Habrdnt/tus lluseux, Rose-coloured 
Habranthus ;—this is an elegant, bulbous-rooted plant, a native of Chiloe, 
whenee bulbs were sent by Lieutenant Barlow, to Mr. Page, Nurseryman, South¬ 
ampton, in whose garden it flowered last June; the flowers are campanulate, 
spreading, of a beautiful rose-colour, slightly striped with darker lines; the bulbs

of Siberia, and appears to have been cultivated at the Paris Gardens about the year 
1782, under the name of Campanula LiliifoUa^ from which, however, it evidently 
differs. It does not appear to have been introduced into the English gardens, 
until about 1818 or 1819. It is of easy culture, being perfectly hardy. The 
flowers are of a pale blue, small, campanulate, scarcely half the size of A, L'diifij-

' in abundance. 
4.— Botanical Cabinet, By Messrs. Loddiges. Monthly num- 
bers. 4to. coloured, 5s., 8vo. partly coloured, 
This little work we have always found interesting; its 10 neatly-engraved speci¬ 
mens, contained in each part, with their descriptions, although not on so exten¬ 
sive a scale as the Botanical Register and Botanical Magazine, yet convey to the 
mind of the reader, much necessary information. The present Part maintains, and 
continues to establish its character, as a useful publication ; and the 8vo. Part we 
would particularly recommend to the notice of ev'ery young gardener, where the 
sum of two shillings and sixpence a month could be readily spared, as the figures 
being but partly coloured, the improvement that would be derived from finishing 
the colouring, would more than compensate for the expense. We however submit 
that if it were a little more copious in its letter-press, it would be much improved.
