single seed in each cell. The species are foundchiefly in Brazil, where they 
are common, Peru, and the North of India; and among them are several 
which, as this species shows, would be worth introducing to cultivation. 
G. Pseudo- Vaccinium is a hardy and very pretty greenhouse shrub, which 
should he grown in a mixture of sandy peat and leaf mould, and treated in 
the same way as Cape heaths. The flowers appear to be abundantly pro¬ 
duced, of a pleasing deep pink. — Bot. Beg . 62. 
Orchidaceae. —Ggnandria Monandria. 
Anguloa Clowesii. Among a lot of plants collected in Columbia by Mr. 
Linden fin 1842, this fine thing was received by the Rev. J. Clowes, of 
Manchester, with whom it flowered, for the first time in Europe, in March, 
1844. 
The genus Anguloa approaches so nearly in structure to Lycaste as to 
render it a matter of some difficulty to properly distinguish the separation : 
one peculiarity, the funnel-shaped condition of the middle lobe of the lip, at 
first sight seems to belong only to Anguloa, but it is in reality only an ex¬ 
aggerated condition of that kind of lip which we have in L, aromatica and its 
allies, in which there is a large flat appendage resting on the surface of the 
lip : the chief difference consists in that appendage being attached to the lip 
at the base only ; while in Anguloa it is united by the sides also. The main 
difference, however, between Anguloa and Lycaste consists in this, that in 
Lycaste the lateral sepals are placed edge to edge in the manner of a true 
Maxillaria, but in Anguloa they overlap each other very considerably. 
The flowers of this species are large and showy, of a bright lemon-colour, 
with a white lip; they are produced from the base of the pseudo-bulb, 
singly on a foot stalk, rising about nine inches in height, a strong bulb 
frequently throwing up four or five of these flowers. — Bot . Reg. 63. 
AmAryll inAc e. •— Hexandria Monogynia . 
Ixiolirion montauum. — This long desired and very ornamental plant was 
sent to Spofforth by the kindness of J. Cartwright, Esq. He received it at 
Constantinople from Colonel Shiel, who discovered it in the neighbourhood 
of Teheran. The bulbs are very remarkable-looking, rather like large nuts, 
with a dark chocolate-coloured smooth coat. The plants are perfectly hardy, 
producing their beautiful lilac flowers freely in May and June. — Bot. 
Reg. 66. 
Tremandraceme. — Octo-Decandria Monogynia. 
Tetratheca hirsuta, syn. Tremandra Hugelii. Messrs. Rollisson received 
this plant from Baron Hugel in the summer of 1843, and flowered it last 
March. It is a very nice greenhouse plant, gay with purple starry flowers, 
requiring the treatment usual for Australian plants. — Bot. Reg. 67. 
Ge sx er i a c ea?. — Didynamia Angiospermia . 
Achimenes picta. One of the splendid plants introduced by the Horticul¬ 
tural Society of London from Mexico, and now, from its dispersion by that 
useful body, among the greatest ornaments of our stoves during the autumnal 
and early winter months. 
Nothing can exceed the beauty of the foliage, whether we consider the 
velvety and orange hue of the pubescence or the rich deep green of the 
groundwork, as contrasted with the milk-like spots and reticulations. Nor 
are the flowers wanting in charms; ‘ they are copious, though solitary, from 
the axils of all the upper leaves, yellow, gorgeously tinged and spotted with 
red. — Bot. Mag. 4126.
