Orchidace^e. — Gynandria Moncmdria. 
Eria Jioribunda. Although the flowers of this plant cannot boast of large 
size and rich colours, they are by no means destitute of beauty. Arranged 
as they are in long drooping racemes of a pure white, glossy in texture, and 
delicately touched with crimson, they are among the prettiest of the smaller 
kinds. It is a native of Sincapore, whence it has been received by Messrs. 
Loddiges. — Bot. Bey. 
Byttneriace^e. — Monadelphia Polyandria. 
Trochetia grandiflora. This noble plant was introduced by His Grace the 
Duke of Northumberland from the Mauritius, and flowered at Syon in 
December last. The original plant is a seedling, about six feet high ; when 
struck from cuttings, it will probably become bushy, in which case it will be 
very beautiful, as it appears to be a fine flowerer. dhe blossoms are snow- 
white, with a yellow blotch at the base of each petal, and are nearly three 
inches in diameter; their pendulous position, which occurs in all the 
known species of the genus, gives them a peculiarly graceful appearance. —

Labiate § Stachydeje. — Didynamia Gymnospermia . 
Phlomis cashmericina. To those who possess no greenhouse this good- 
looking plant from the valley of Cashmere will be welcome, for its large 
pale lilac flowers remain for a considerable time in beauty. It is a hardy 
perennial plant, growing about two feet high, with somewhat of the appear¬ 
ance of a Salvia, and flowering in July and August; it requires a rich light 
soil, and a situation which is rather dry in winter. It was raised in the 
garden of the Horticultural Society from seeds received from Dr. Royle. —

ChtcHiDACEiE.— Gynandria Monandria. 
Schornburgkia crispa. This fine genus is remarkable for the large size of 
its pseudo-bulbs, which are occasionally as much as two feet long. It differs 
from Epidendrum and its allies in having eight pollen masses, and evidently 
constitutes an extremely well-marked group. S. crispa has yellowish-brown 
flowers with scarcely a trace of purple, and by that circumstance alone it 
may be distinguished. Its lip is nearly flat, very little three-lobed, and 
broadest at the base: other characters peculiar to itself. It was sent from 
Demerara by Mr. Schomburgk to Mrs. Marryat of Wimbledon. — Bot. Reg. 
ORCHiDACEiE.— Gynandi'ia Monandria. 
Phaius bicolor. This plant, it appears, was discovered in Ceylon by Mr. 
Macrae, but when introduced to this country we are not informed. The 
plant in habit is rather less robust than its ally P. Wallichii. The flowers 
are large and handsome, sepals and petals large, spreading, nearly two inches 
long, externally pale yellow-brown, within deep chocolate-brown and 
striated; lip large, standing forward, it may be called cucullate, the lower 
half or claw is convolute round the style, so as to conceal it; the limb is 
large, three-lobed, the lobes rounded and undulate, the side ones rose-colour ; 
the middle is much the largest and is yellowish white- Bot. Mag. 
Gesneriace/e. — Didynamia Angiospermia. 
Nematanthus chloronema. This plant differs from N. longipes, now pretty 
well known, in having shorter flower-stalks and somewhat smaller flowers; 
in all other respects it is very similar. It was sent from the Organ 
Mountains by Mr. Gardner to the Glasgow Botanic Garden, where it 
flowered for the first time in July 1843. —• Bot. Mag.
