4. Symphytum officinale; var. JBohemicum. Bohemian Comfrey. 
The conglomerated dowers of the comfreys are all more or less strik¬ 
ing; but this, from the very vivid crimson of its flowers and dwarfish 
habit, is well worthy a place in every flower-garden. 
Paxton’s Magazine of Botany, September, 1835. 
1. Clianthus puniceus. The Glory Pea. A lately-introduced 
plant from New Zealand, noticed by us in a former number of the 
Register. 
2. Chorizema Heviclimanii. Henchman’s Chorizema. A beautiful 
greenhouse plant, introduced by the collector whose name it bears. It 
should be in every collection. 
3. Dendrohium jimbriatum. Fringed Dendrobium. An orcliideous 
plant, partaking of the general curious structure of the order. The 
specific name is particularly significant. 
4. Petunia nyctaginijlora violacea. A new variety, raised at Chats- 
worth, remarkable for its peculiar colour and splendid appearance as a 
flower-border plant. 
In this number, remarks on the treatment of orchideous plants are 
continued, with additional lists of their names and different modes of 
culture. 
Florists’ Magazine. By F. W. Smith. 
Mr. Smith’s able pencil is giving increasing value to this beautiful 
work. The specimens of florists’ flowers herein pourtrayed, are well 
chosen, and accurately drawn and coloured. The September number 
contains — “ Lady Peel” and “ Nabob ” pansies; Princess Vic¬ 
toria” and Sir Walter Scott” pinks; a fine double-striped variety 
of Camellia, called “ C. Donklaaria ; ” and the “ Lavinia ” dahlia— 
a most elegant white and pink variety. Amateur and commercial 
florists cannot have a finer field for exhibiting faithful figures of their 
unique flowers than this work; and as it is extensively circulated, 
it is an excellent channel for conveying intelligence of new and first- 
rate varieties.
