Edwards’s Botanical Register, continued by Dr. Lindley. 
September 1st, 1835. 
1. Gesnera faucialis . Wide-mouthed Gesnera. This herbaceous 
plant is considered the finest of the whole genus; it is hardy, and 
thrives in the green-liouse, if not kept too damp. 
2. Erythronium grandijlorum. Large American Dog’s-tooth Violet. 
A hexandrious plant, discovered by the late Mr. Douglas, and received 
by the Horticultural Society several years ago, but only flowered, for the 
first time, in May last. It is as yet a very scarce plant, it producing 
neither seeds nor offsets since it has been in the Chiswick garden. 
3. Oncidium pulchellum. Pretty Oncidium. A very beautiful¬ 
flowering species, belonging to the natural order Orchidece. The 
flowers are produced on a long panicle, and in colour white, tinged 
with yellow and purple. It requires similar treatment as the others of 
the order to which it belongs. 
4. Azara dentata. Toothed Azara. A common shrub in Chili. 
It is a half-hardy plant, and succeeds in this country if planted against 
and trained to a south wall. 
5. Oncidium Lemonianum. Sir Charles Lemon’s Oncidium. This 
plant, imported by a Captain Sutton, was presented to the gentleman 
with whom it flowered, and who has afforded for it a specific name, is 
a little delicate species, and found growing on the stems of trees. It is 
said to have, like many others of this order of plants, pseudo-bulbs, that 
is, bastard bulbs, or gouty stems, proceeding from the root, and bearing 
each one leaf. The term bulb must be considered, in these instances, 
as merely a conventional term, because the member in question has no 
relation to a true bulb, neither in structure nor as containing the 
fructification in its bosom. 
6. Kennedya Marryattce . Mrs. Marryat’s Kennedya. A fine climber, 
from Swan River, Australia, bearing showy scarlet flowers, and pro¬ 
mises to be one of our most ornamental green-house climbers. It 
belongs to the natural order Leguminosce. 
7- Arctostaphylos tomentosa. Downy Bear-berry. A shrub, from 
the west side of North America, expected to be hardy enough to bear 
the open air in this country. It bears racemes of white flowers resem¬ 
bling those of Ilea Virginica , or like some of the heaths, to which 
latter it is allied. 
After describing this plant. Dr. Lindley alludes, with very com-
