LIST OF NEW PLANTS. 
115 
while the lip is bright yellow. It was received from Oaxaca by Messrs. 
Loddiges about four years ago. It appears to attain a greater degree of 
luxuriance when grown in a pot, in a compost of heath-soil of a loose 
texture, having some potsherds mixed up with it, than when attached to a 
block of wood. In a wild state it is usually found in elevated situations, 
and therefore does not seem to require a high temperature. — Pax. Mag.

Apocynack^s. — Pentandria Monogynia. 
Neriurn Oleander var. Tangle. A very beautiful variety of the old Neriurn 
Oleander , or rose bay, with striped flowers, resembling a heavy bizarre 
carnation. Its name implies a Continental origin ; it is grown by Messrs. 
Lane and Son, Nurserymen, of Great Berkhampstead, but they are not 
acquainted with its history. — Pax. Mag. Bot. 
Orcuidace^: § Va:nde.e. — Gynandria Monandria. 
Cymbidium pendulum var. brevilabre. Evidently a variety of the well 
known C. pendulum, differing in the lip being shorter and broader, and 
having a much blunter middle lobe. It was received by Messrs. Loddiges, 
from Mr. Cuming, who found it at Sincapore. — Bot. Reg. 
Vacciniace^e. — Monadelphia Decandria. 
Macleania longijlora. A very showy plant, having something of the general 
appearance of Burclielia. It was collected by Mr. Hartweg, on the main 
Cordillera, near Loxa, at an elevation of about 8000 feet above the sea, and 
will require to be kept in a warm greenhouse. It may be potted in a compost 
of sandy loam and peat in equal quantities. Owing to its producing very 
fleshy roots, a large pot or tub will be required, or, when there is convenience, 
it is probable it would succeed well if planted out in a conservatory ; it 
requires a liberal supply of water in summer, but very little in winter, and to 
have it well furnished with young wood from the bottom for flowering ; it is 
necessary to cut it well back early in autumn, in order to have the plant 
clothed with leaves before the winter. — Bot. Reg. 
Berberaceje. — Hexandria Monogynia. 
Berberis tenuifolia. This very rare plant was found by Mr. Hartweg on 
his first arrival in Mexico, at a place called Taquapam, at the foot of Orizaba, 
and was raised among the first collection that he sent to the Horticultural 
Society. It is a hard-wooded graceful greenhouse plant, very apt to run up 
with a single stem wtthout producing lateral buds, and when that is allowed 
to happen its beauty is much impaired ; to prevent it, binding down so as to 
check the rise of the sap has been tried with success. Its flowers appear in 
the latter part of the year (October to December), and are agreeably sweet- 
scented : they are yellow, borne on a long half-pendant raceme. — Bot. Reg. 
Rosaceje § QuiLLAJiE. —— Icosandria Pentagynia. 
Lindleya. mespiloides. Another of Mr. Hartweg’s plants, found by him by 
the natural bridge called Puente de Dios, forty-five miles N. E. of Real del 
Monte. It is an evergreen tree of small size, looking very much like Mespilus 
grandijlora, but with flowers as sweet-scented as the hawthorn bloom; in 
our gardens, the plant seems likely to prove about as hardy as an Escallonia, 
but not more so. Its fine evergreen foliage and large white flowers render 
it very desirable that it should be able to bear our climate. It remains in 
flower for a month or six weeks. — Bot. Reg. 
Malvaceae. — Monadelphia Polyandria. 
Hibiscus Cameroni-fulgens, Garden Variety. A very fine showy hybrid, 
from Messrs. Rollison’s, Tooting, having large pale crimson flowers, and on
