NOTICES OF PLANTS FIGURED AND DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING 
BOTANICAL PERIODICALS, VIZ. 
PiOWARDs’ Botanical Register for December, 1835, continued 
by Dr. Lindley. 
1. Elichrysum bicolor. Two-coloured Elichrysum. “ A beautiful 
new hardy annual, introduced by Mr. Low, of the Clapton Nursery.” 
It is a native of Van Diemen’s Land, and very much resembles some 
of the Gnaphaliums, with which genus the Elichrysums were formerly 
united. 
2. Macradenia triandra. Triandrous Long-gland. An orchideous 
plant, a native of Surinam. The foliage and manner of flowering are 
much like many others of this curious order of plants, and require 
similar culture, in a warm moist stove. 
3. Coccoloba virens. Green sea-side Grape. A hot-house plant, 
which flowered in the hot-house of Sir Abraham Hume, at Wormley- 
bury, two years ago. The foliage is handsome, and the flowers are 
borne on racemes, like those of the berberry. 
4. Oxalis Piottce. Piotta’s Oxalis. A beautiful little frame peren¬ 
nial, and very attractive when grown in a pot, the surface of which it 
covers. It is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, whence it was 
obtained by Mrs. Marryat, through Italy. It is at present possessed 
only by that lady and a few of her friends. 
5. Ochranthe arguta. Five-toothed Pale-bloom. A native of 
China, which flowered in the Horticultural Garden in March, 1826. 
The plant died soon afterward, and has not since been re-introduced. 
Dr. Lindley is “uncertain to which order in the natural system it 
belongs, but for the present has placed it in Hypericacere anomalce. 
6. Rhododendron pulcherrimum. Lovely Rhododendron. A garden 
variety, obtained by Mr. Waterer, of Knaphill, between R. arboreum 
and caucasicum. There is another variety, called R. Nobleanum, very 
like the above in all respects, except that its flowers are of a brilliant 
rose-colour. r< Both are amongst the handsomest hardy shrubs in 
cultivation.
