239. Notylia punctata. This species is of dwarf growth, its leaves being 
only from 3 in. to 6 in. long, of a bright green; the flowers are pro¬ 
duced on a drooping raceme, of a pale green and white spotted with yellow. 
It requires placing on a log of wood covered with sphagnum, and a free 
supply of water while growing, with a temperature of 65° to 70°. — Native 
of Trinidad. 
240. Notylia Barkerii. Another singular species, producing small yellow 
flowers, much like N. incurva. It also requires growing on a block, in the 
same manner as the other. — Native of Mexico. 
241. Notylia incurva. This is also a small-growing species; the flowers 
are pale yellow. The same treatment and temperature will also do for this.— 
Native of Trinidad. 
242. Notylia tenuis. Another of those curious little plants, the colours of 
which are not rich,, but their fragrance very powerful. Treatment and tem¬ 
perature same as for the others. — Native of Demerara. 
243. Notylia maculata. This is a very small pseudo-bulbous one, with a 
drooping raceme of very small pale greenish white flowers, slightly spotted. 
Requires the same treatment as the others. — Native of Demerara.

REMARKS ON THE CULTIVATION OF 
MIGNONETTE IN POTS. 
By Mr. D. Doig. 
Amongst all the odoriferous plants which are cultivated for 
decorating the conservatory and the drawingroom, there is 
none more universally admired or more easily cultivated than 
the mignonette ; and yet it is seldom that we see it brought to 
that perfection of which it is capable, mor§ especially during 
the winter and spring months. 
Reseda odorcita, or the Mignonette, is a native of Egypt: it 
is, under ordinary treatment, an annual plant, growing from 6 
inches to a foot in height, and is hardy enough to stand this cli¬ 
mate during the summer months; but it will not survive our 
ordinary winters, unless in some very sheltered situations. In 
order, therefore, to obtain a regular succession recourse must 
be had to pot or box culture, which will form the subject of 
the following remarks.
