if introduced to flower-garden scenery, would depend on their 
being constantly attended in the removal of the decaying por¬ 
tions as soon as they have passed their meridian ; and also in 
carefully affording them support against rough winds and 
storms, sufficient only to prevent them from being beaten down 
and broken.

LIST OF NEW PLANTS. 
ORCKiDEiE. — Gynandria Monandria. 
Epidendrum radiatum. Allied to both E. cockleatum and lancifolium. This 
pretty species is distinctly known by the round form and crisp margin of its 
lip, which moreover is almost notched out in the middle, and very delicately 
streaked with purple. Its petals too are both shorter and broader than in 
either of those two species. Its habit is precisely theirs; and the three, con¬ 
sidering their constant flowering and very neat appearance, deserve a place 
in all collections. Besides, this species smells deliciously of cinnamon. It 
is a native of Mexico. — Bot. Reg. 
Lasiopetale^e. — Pentandria Monogynia. 
Corethrostylis bracteata. A greenhouse shrub from Swan River, pro¬ 
ducing long loose clusters of small pink and crimson flowers, the most 
remarkable part of which is the singular hairy style. It flowered last spring 
with Mr. Groom of the Clapham Nursery. The treatment should be assi¬ 
milated with that of Cape heaths. — Bot. Beg. 
Gesneraceje. — Didynamia Angiospermia. 
Gloxinia speciosa. Four varieties raised by Mr. Carton, gardener to the 
Duke of Northumberland at Syon, from G. speciosa rubra fertilised with 
the pollen of Sinningia guttata. 
1 . Magnijica. Deep pink, with a pure white throat. 
2. Insignis. Tube deep pink, limb white, the upper segments being shaded 
and veined with the colour of the tube, bluish throat. 
3. Bicolor. Brilliant bluish purple flower, the upper segments of the limb 
being edged with white, light throat. 
4. Cartoni. Large pink flower, of great substance, the margin of the limb 
and throat white. 
The flowers give little evidence of the male parent, although the branching 
habit which distinguishes Nos. 1. 2. and 4. are proofs of their alliance to 
Sinningia, particularly that of magnijica, which has very hairy leaves and 
stems, and an erect growth. — Bot. Reg. 
ORCHiDEiE. — Gynandria Monandria. 
Laccena bicolor. This fine plant was sent to the Horticultural Society, 
from Guatemala, by Mr. Hartweg ; it produced its flowers in May, 1843, and 
ever since has been in such bad health that it is doubtful if it will survive. 
The flowers of this plant are formed in a pendulous raceme, as much as 
eighteen inches long ; the low^er part being clothed with distant short blunt
