DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF NEW PLANTS. 
state it occurs in sandy tracts, on the plain near Cape Town, in 
the neighbourhood of Doornhoogde, where it flowers in October 
and November.— Bot. Reg. 64-46. 
Campanulace^e. —Rentandria Monogynia. 
Campanula nobilis (Lindley). This very nice herbaceous 
plant was sent to the Horticultural Society by Mr. Fortune, from 
China. Its root-leaves are deeply heart-shaped, of a bright pale 
green, and placed on footstalks from 6 to 9 inches long, forming 
a large tuft. From among them, and rather more than twice 
their height, rises the flowering stem, which branches a little at 
the bottom, and bears upon its divisions several fine nodding 
flowers, which seem to be the largest yet seen among the genus 
Campanula. They are something like those of Canarma, nearly 
3 inches long and 1^- in diameter. The corolla is pale purple on 
the outside, and nearly smooth, but paler within, abundantly 
sprinkled with bright purple dots, and closely covered with long 
delicate horizontal hairs. It is allied to the Canterbury Bell, and 
like it has a calyx furnished with reflexed appendages; but its 
stigma is trifid, on which account it more nearly approaches the 
Sarmation andDotted Bellworts (C. Sarmatica and punctata). It 
is, however, perfectly distinct, and a grand addition to handsome 
hardy herbaceous plants. It is easily multiplied by dividing the 
roots in autumn or winter, when in a dormant condition, and 
possibly from seeds also.— Bot. Reg. 65-46. 
Fabace^e. —Biadelphia Decandria. 
Swainsonia Grey ana (Lindley). A gay-flowered, half-herba¬ 
ceous plant, sent to the Horticultural Society by his Excellency 
Captain Grey, from the banks of the Murray, in New Holland. 
It has dull brownish, hoary leaves, from whose axils a profusion 
of large purple flowers, with a white eye, appear in the summer. 
This species requires the same kind of treatment as the common 
Lotus Jacobea , growing freely in a mixture of sandy loam and 
manure, and flowering during the summer and autumn, if kept 
in the greenhouse.— Bot. Reg. 66-46. 
Balsaminace.e.— Rentandria Monogynia. 
Impatiensplatypetala (Lindley). A lovely species with rich
