to which this genus in common with others is liable, recom¬ 
mends the following as being efficacious' in the destruction of 
the thrips and other insects: — “ Take a peck and a half of 
soot, and put it into one hogshead of soft water, stirring it well 
with an old broom or batten, every day for ten days or a fort¬ 
night; then strain off the water through a fine sieve or piece 
of canvas into another tub, on a peck of charcoal, and drop 
into it afterwards one or two lumps or about three pounds of 
fresh lime, in about two days after strain it again, and it is then 
clear enough to syringe with.”

Acanthaceje. —Didynamia Angiospermia. 
Aphelandra aurantiaca. This is the handsomest stove shrub that has been 
introduced for a long time, and, in tbe estimation of cultivators, must class 
with Ixora coccinea, Aphelandra cristata, the Hindsias, and other front-rank 
species. 
It was exhibited at a late meeting of tbe Horticultural Society, by Mr. 
Henderson, of Pine-apple Place, finder the title of Hesemasandra aurantiaca, 
a name not to be found in any botanical books in our possession. Can it be 
Schrader’s Synandra amcena, the Aphelandra ignea of Nees Von Esenbeck ? 
concerning which we find nothing beyond the names in Dietrich’s “ Synopsis 
Plantarum.” We have only seen it on the occasion just alluded to, but we 
could not then perceive anything to separate it from the well-known genus 
Aphelandra, and thither it is accordingly now referred. 
Colourers are quite unable to give the soft and brilliant glow of the rich 
orange-coloured flowers, which may perhaps be compared with that of the 
ripest side of a Brussels apricot when coated by varnish. 
The general character of the plant is somewhat more robust than that of 
A. cristata , and it is presumed to be a native of South America. — Bot. 
Beg. 12—45. 
Buellia lilacina. The stove of the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kevv is 
indebted for this handsome Ruelliaceous plant to Mr. Glendinning, of the 
Chiswick Nursery ; but of its native country, I regret I can learn nothing. 
Its fine dark and glossy foliage, with large full lilac-coloured flowers, which 
are produced from time to time during the greater part of the summer 
months, renders it well worthy of a place in the hothouse.— Bot. Mag. 4147. 
GENTiANACEiE. — Pentandria Monogynia. 
Eustom.a exaltatum. It appears from the researches of Dr. Grisebach, 
that Lisianthus Russellianus, this plant, and another or two like them, con¬ 
stitute a peculiar genus, which Mr. Bentham called Urananthus, but which 
had been previously named Eustoma by the late Professor Don. It is 
therefore necessary to cancel the common name of this plant in favour of that 
now given. Under the designation of Lisianthus glaucifolius, the species is 
circulating among gardeners as something new ; but it is in truth a species
