the varieties of nudijiorum. Introduced from Holland by Mr. Knight, 
of Chelsea. 
3. Collinsia bicolor. Two-coloured Collinsia. This is a handsome 
herbaceous annual, found in California by the lamented Douglas, and 
first raised in the garden of the Horticultural Society of London. It 
is already in the trade. 
4. Tup a blancla. Blush-flowered Tupa. A new genus, separated 
from Lobelia. It is a hardy perennial, and has been raised in this 
country from Chilian seeds. It is by no means so showy as its con¬ 
gener, the cardinal flower ; but it is a desirable associate to this and 
the other species of Lobelia. 
Paxton’s Magazine op Botany, October, 1835, contains— 
1. Tropceolum majus venustum. Large-flowering, graceful Nastur¬ 
tium. A new variety, introduced from Belgium, and appears to be a 
cross between the deep red one and the common. 
2. Maxillaria Harrisonice grandijlora . Harrison’s large-flowering 
Maxillaria. An orchideous plant, having white flowers, clouded with 
purple and yellow. 
3. Gladiolus pudibundus. Modest Corn-flag. A very showy hybrid, 
originated between the G. cardinalis and G. blanda. Although only 
a hybrid, it is well worth a place in every flower-garden. It flowered 
at Chatsworth in the greenhouse. 
4. Scliizantlius pinnatus humilis. Dwarf wing-leaved Schizanthus. 
A hardy annual from Chili; differs from the common only in being a 
plant of lower growth. 
Smith’s Florists’ Magazine, October, 1835, contains four plates 
of very beautiful plants, viz. 
Dennis’s Queen Adelaide and Concession Pelargoniums ; Alstrce- 
meria tricolor; Viscountess Beresford Dahlia; and the Tigridia 
Pavonia. 
Of the latter genus it is observed, that it should have been called 
Leopardia, rather than Tigridia , as more expressive of the spotted 
character of its flowers.

I think with J. B. G. (p. 343), that it would be of great utility 
to “ give representations of various insects which infest fruit-trees
