NOTICES OF BOTANICAL PUBLICATIONS. 
3. Vanda teres. Taper-leaved Vanda. A splendid Nepalese orchi- 
dcous plant, found by Dr. Wallich in that interesting but not yet 
half explored country. It has also been found by Mr. W. Griffith in 
the Burmese empire, growing on trees as it does in Nepal. “ Nothing 
can exceed the flowers of this plant in delicacy of texture or softness 
of colour, the deep purple of the petals softens away to the margin, and 
seems to melt as it were into the purer white of the sepals, while the 
rich crimson and yellow of the lip renders the brilliancy of the other 
parts still more conspicuous. 
4. Cratcegus Douglasii. The Douglas thorn. “ A native of North 
West America, where it was collected by Mr. Douglas; a hardy tree, 
of small size, flowering in May.” 
5. Maxillaria cr is tat a. Crested Maxillaria. A beautiful flowering 
orchideous plant, a native of Trinidad. From the rich and extensive 
collection of Mr. Knight, King’s Road, Chelsea. “ The striping, 
banding, and painting of the delicate white flowers with rich crimson, 
produce a very rich and striking effect.” 
G. Gardoquia Gilliesiu The Gillies Gardoquia. “ A neat little 
half-shrubby plant, growing not more than six or eight inches high, 
flowering from June to September, but requiring a little protection in 
winter.” It belongs to the natural order Labiacece. 
7« Daubenya aurea. “ A green-house bulb, native of the Cape of 
Good Hope, from whence it was received by Messrs. Young, of Epsom, 
under the name of Massonia lutca.” This plant, though bearing a 
likeness to the old genus Massonia, Dr. Bindley considers a new genus, 
and named it in compliment to Dr. C. Daubeny, Professor of Botany 
at Oxford. 
Sweet’s British Flower-Garden, continued by D. Don, Esq. 
The November number contains :— 
1. Delphinium cheilanthum: var. multiplex. Double large-lipped 
larkspur. “ This is a double variety of one of the finest species of the 
genus. It is a most lovely plant, the flowers being equal in size to 
those of the double variety of D. grandijlorum , and of a still richer 
colour. A mixture of moor-earth and loam will be found to suit it 
best.” 
2. Escallonia pulverulenta. Powdered Escallonia. A South American 
upright branched evergreen shrub, rising to the height of six or eight 
feet, sometimes more. “ We know nothing of the constitution of the 
present species, but we presume it will be found to be quite as hardy 
as the other species from the same country.” This genus gives a title to 
one of the natural orders, viz. Escallonece.
