inspection. The petals are rose-coloured, having a violet-coloured spot 
at their bases. The flowers are pentandrious, and the genus stands in 
the natural order Folemoniacece. 
2. Cirrhoea tristis. Sad-coloured Cirrhoea. A very pretty-flowering 
orchideous plant, introduced from Mexico by Messrs. Loddiges, in 
whose hothouse it flowered in June, 1835, whence the drawing was 
taken. The leaves spring from furrowed bulb-like appendages, from 
the base of which the roots and scape come forth. Like its other 
botanical allies, it grows upon the branches of trees, and apparently in 
a pendulous manner, like many others of the tribe. Like other dark- 
coloured flowers, it is deliciously fragrant, and deserves a place in every 
collection of Orchidece . 
3. Cratcegus spatulata. Spatula-leaved Thorn. “ There can be 
no doubt,” says Dr. Lindley, but that this plant, the C. virginica of 
the nurseries, is the real C. spatulata of Michaux, about which so little is 
known.” In Mr. Loudon’s new work ( Arboretum et Fruticetum Bri- 
tannicum), the old, or rather the common, name is retained, as he 
considers the C. microcarpa figured in a former number of the Bota¬ 
nical Register as the true C. spatulata. 
This species has very much the appearance of C . parvifolia , from 
which it is essentially distinguished by its leaves being edged with 
strong dark glands, and by its large leafy stipules. The fruit is always 
green, even when ripe; is a little downy, and contains from five to six 
stones. 
4. Lupinus latifolius. Broad-leaved Lupine. This lupine has been 
described by Dr. J. G. Agardh, in the valuable little work entitled 
Synop . Gen . Lupin., written by that learned botanist. Dr. Agardh 
has described seventy-six certain species of this pretty genus, besides 
adverting to seven others of which little is known. Of the former, 
thirty-four are in Mr. Douglas’s collection. It is a hardy perennial, 
flowering in July and the two following months. 
5. Ardisia odontophyllci . Tooth-leaved Ardisia, A stove shrub, 
belonging to the natural order Myrsinacece ; a native of Bengal, where 
it was found by Dr. Buchanan, and by Dr. WalliclTs collectors. 
It was first introduced by T. C. Palmer, Esq., of Bromley, by 
whom it was communicated to Mr. Knight, of the King’s Road, 
Chelsea, in whose hothouse the figure was made, in July, 1834. 
Independently of its being, like all the Ardisias, a handsome ever¬ 
green, this species is remarkable for its delicious fragrance. Its flowers 
are pale salmon-colour, slightly streaked with red. 
6. Antirrhinum glandulosum . Glandular Snapdragon. This, if
