Caprifoliacee. — Pentandria Monogynia. 
Lonicera diversifolia. In many respects this Himalayan shrub is much 
like the common fly honeysuckle ( L. Xylosteum), from which it principally 
differs in its flowers being nearly or quite stalkless, and much larger. 
Dr. Wallich first received it from the mountains of Gurwhal ; he afterwards 
procured it from Kamaon. In a wild state it sometimes becomes small¬ 
leaved, and approaches the common xylosteum, but its stalkless flowers still 
distinguish it. It is a hardy middle-sized shrub, which thrives in any good 
garden soil, and flowers during the months of May and June. It was raised 
in the garden of the Horticultural Society of London from seeds received 
from Dr. Royle from the north of India. — Bot. Reg. 
Orchidee. — Gynandria Monandria. 
Epidendrum pterocarpum. We cannot say much as to the beauty of this 
plant, which flowered with Messrs. Loddiges in December, 1842.. It, how¬ 
ever, presents a remarkable instance of the formation of broad wings by the 
fruit, which, when ripe, has three of them of considerable size. 
The flowers are a brownish green, with a broad, rolled-up, yellow variegated 
lip, whose middle lobe is whitish. It is a native of Mexico, and closely 
allied to E. tessellatum. — Bot. Reg. 
Orchidee. — Gynandria Monandria. 
Disa cornuta. An interesting orchidaceous plant from the Cape of Good 
Hope, bearing the usual characters of the terrestrial portion of the tribe. 
The base of the leaves, which are lanceolate, is richly spotted with reddish 
brown ; the stem, including the flower-spike, rises to about a foot in height, 
the flowers occupying nearly one half of it : they are of a medium size ; the 
two lower sepals are white, and are bent downwards ; the upper or middle 
one is cucullate, or helmet-shaped, violet-coloured, with a green edge con¬ 
cealing the column and petals, and terminating behind in a long green spur 
or horn, whence the specific name ; the petals are small, green, and almost 
hid; the lip small, spathulate, green, with a large black velvety spot. It 
was introduced to the Royal Gardens of Kew in the summer of 1843, and 
bloomed in December of the same year in a cool stove ; the plants then died 
down. But so little is known of the proper mode of treatment for Cape 
Orchideae as to make it very uncertain if the same roots will flower a second 
time in England. — Bot. Mag. 
Dipsacee. — Diandria Monogynia. 
Morina longifolia. — A very handsome and a hardy plant, possessing 
much of the general aspect of a Phlomis. The flowers are produced in 
whorls on a spike of about a foot in length ; the tube of the flower is 
white, and the limb, which is divided into five segments, is a deep rose- 
colour. It is a native of Northern India, being found by Dr. Wallich in 
Gossam Than, and by Dr. Royle on the mountains of Cashmere ; plants 
have also been found on the Himalayas. — Bot. Mag. 
Asclepiadee. — Pentandria Monogynia. 
Ceropegia oculata. — Raised in the stove of the Royal Botanic Gardens, 
Kew, from seeds sent from Bombay. It is extremely handsome, and very 
curious in the structure of the flowers, which represent the head of a snake, 
with a green snout and black eye-like spots above the neck or narrow part of 
the tube. It is a ready growing plant, flourishing in a good heat, and it 
produces its flowers in September- Bot. Mag. 
Orchidee. — Gynandria Monandria. 
Lcelia superbiens. — One of the most beautiful and at the same time most 
difficult of all orchidaceous plants known. It is of South-American origin,
