NOTICES OF BOTANICAL PUBLICATIONS.

4. Camellia Japonica Donckelaeri. M. Donckelaer’s Japan Camellia. 
A very remarkable-coloured garden variety, said to have been brought 
to Holland by Dr. Siebold. This was figured from a plant which 
flowered with Mr. Lowe, of Clapton; but, if we remember rightly, a 
plant was brought from Paris last year by Mr. Tate, of Chelsea, and 
was figured in some publication—we think, Paxton’s Magazine of 
Botany. It is more curiously blotched than any other double-striped 
variety. 
5. Cratcegus Moroccana. Morocco Plawthorn. Said to be a native 
of Barbary, but certainly of Mount Sinai, in Palestine. It is in the 
garden of the Horticultural Society. 
6. Godelia rubicunda. Buddy Godetia. One of the most showy 
of the old genus (Enothera, lately separated therefrom and made a 
new genus by M. Spach. Dr. L. states, that, as a hardy plant, it 
contrasts well with the G. Lindleyana, (not CEnothera Lindleyana); 
thus adopting Spach’s generic name for the Evening Primrose, formerly 
named specifically after himself. It is, indeed, a most desirable border 
plant. 
6. Zygopetalum cochleare. Spoon-lipped Zygopetalum. The Zygo- 
petalums are a curious, fragrant, and beautiful genus of the order 
Orchidece. Among the species, this is one of the most attractive. The 
flowers are ample, much variegated in colour, and diffuse a scent equal 
to that given out by lilies of the valley. It is a native of Trinidad, is 
grow'ii in earth, in a damp stove, and is successfully flowered in Mr. 
Knight’s collection, whence the drawing was taken. 
Sweet’s British Flower-Garden, continued by Professor Don. 
The number for May contains: — 
]. Lathyrus rotundifolius; var. ellipticus. Round-leaved Ever¬ 
lasting Pea. A climbing perennial herb, extending to the height.of 
three or four feet. It is uncertain of what country it is a native, 
unless it be that found in Georgia by Bieberstein. The plant from 
which the drawing was taken was communicated by Mr. Cameron, of 
the Birmingham Botanic Garden. The plant is altogether smaller 
than L. latifolius, and is, on this account, adapted to situations where 
that species, from its rampant habits, would be unsuitable. 
2. Eutoca Menziesii. Mr. Menzies’ Eutoca. A very beautiful 
hardy annual, belonging to the natural order Hydrophyllece, intro¬ 
duced by the Horticultural Society in 1826, from seeds transmitted 
by the late Mr. Douglas. It ripens seeds, if grown in dry 
situations.
