CLASS I.™PLANTS WITH TWO COTYLEDONES, (DYCOTYLEDONES.) 
LEGUMINOSJE. 
Lalage ornata, Gay flowering Lalage. —A native of the south¬ 
west coast of New Holland, where its seeds were collected by Mr. 
Baxter. This is one of the prettiest of the New Holland legumi¬ 
nous plants. Its leaves are of a deep rich green, and the colour of 
the flowers is a pleasing mixture of yellow, orange, purple, and crim¬ 
son. It requires to be kept in a well-aired greenhouse, and may be 
multiplied by cuttings.— Bot. Reg. for Dec. 1722. 
Genista amxantica, Amsantan Genista.—This species is quite 
hardy, and from its trailing habit, and copious clusters of golden 
flowers, is well suited to ornament., rock-work, where it will be found 
to thrive luxuriantly. It was discovered by Professor Gussone, on 
hills in the valley of Amsanto, not far from Frigento, in the King¬ 
dom of Naples, a spot famous for its mineral springs, and for the un¬ 
healthiness of its air, arising from sulphureous exhalations. It may 
be increased, either by seeds or layers.— Brit. FI. Gard. 266. 
COMPOSITE. 
Eupatorium glandulosum, Glandular Eupatorium.—An herba¬ 
ceous plant, a native of Mexico, whence seeds were received by the 
Horticultural Society some years since, through the favour of the 
late Mr. Canning. It was found by Humboldt and Bonpland upon 
the high table-land of Mexico, between Carpio, and Gasave, at be¬ 
tween 7 and 8000 feet of elevation. It will thrive in a pit screened 
from wet, and severe winter’s cold, and is increased easily by cut¬ 
tings.— Bot. Reg. 1723. 
Galardia bicolor drummondii , Drummond’s Two-coloured Galar- 
dia.—This very pretty Galardia was raised in the Glasgow Botanic 
Garden, from seeds gathered by Mr. Drummond, at Rio Bragosa in 
Texas, in the autumn of 1833.— Bot. Mag. 3368. The flowers are 
deep carmine with a bright yellow border. 
Galarda picta, Painted Galardia.—This species was gathered in 
Louisiana, by Mr. Thomas Drummond, and from seeds transmitted 
by that enterprising collector; the plant has been raised in various 
gardens. It should be planted in a mixture of peat and loam, and 
may be increased either by cuttings or seeds, which it perfects in 
the open air. It is probable that the plant will prove little more than
