Part 28, for February, contains 
Jsotoma Axillaris, Axillary-flowered Isotoma.—(Lobeliaceae.)—This is a very 
pretty greenhouse annual, with purple flowers, a native of New Holland. 
Bigndnin grandljlaru, Large-flowering Trumpet-flower.—(Bignoniacese.)— 
This handsome plant was introduced from China, as long ago as the year 1800. 
It requires the shelter of a greenhouse, although Mr. Mc.Intosh conceives it 
might do in the open air trained to a wall, in a sheltered situation, if a little 
protection was afforded it in severe weather. 
Mr. Mc.Intosh next proceeds to inform ns, that having determined to com¬ 
plete the Flora and Pomona, in its present form, he presumes he could not 
1 better close his labours than by offering a list of choice or rare plants; which 
selection, added to those already recommended in his work, will, if properly 
' managed, produce a succession of bloom throughout the whole year. There 
j is also an index to the plants already figured and described in the work.

toxicating Red Currant.—(Grossul&.ceae.)—This was sent from New York, by 
Messrs. Floy, under the above name, without any account of its quality. Mr. 
Lindley supposes its berries to possess some narcotic property. Brownldwia 
elata, Lofty Brownlowia.—(Tiliiceai.)—A yellow-flowering stove plant, with 
fine showy broad leaves, Pereskia Blco, Rose-coloured Pereskia,—(Cac- 
teae.)—A very handsome stove plant, with deep rose-coloured flowers; a

Gompholobium.—(Leguminosse.)—A little slender-growing greenhouse plant, 
with pale yellow flowers, a native of Van Dieman’s Land. Osbeckhi Nepu- 
(eiutis, var. albiJifWa, White-flowered Nipal Osbeckia.— (Melastomaceae.)—This 
variety was raised by Messrs Whitley and Co., of Fulham, and flowered with 
them for the first time, in August last. Calceolaria CMloensis, the Chiloe 
Slipper-flower.—(Scrophularinese.)—This fine yellow-flowering Calceolaria, 
Mr.Lindley remarks, will probably become one of the most valuable species in 
our gardens, not only on account of its intrinsic beauty, but because of its 
being more hardy than others of the half-shrubby kind.
