I ridacEjE. — Triandria Monogynia. 
Iris imbricata. This is a very showy perennial, which most probably will 
prove quite hardy in the open border; it appears to be a mere variety of 
T. squaleus, from which it differs in its pure lemon-coloured flowers, and in 
the short blunt convex bracts which invest their base. It has flowered with 
the Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of Manchester. — Bot. Beg. 35-45. 
Anacardiace^e. — Polygamia Moncecia. 
Bhus diversiloba. This shrub was brought from California by R. B. 
Hinds, Esq., who found it in that country. The country people call it 
Yeara, and say it poisons on contact, or even through the air, in which 
respect it resembles the common poison oak, B. loxicodendron, to which 
it is nearly allied. Indeed it is so like that species, that if it were not for 
an upright unscrambling habit, and very blunt leaflets, it might be looked 
upon as a mere variety. Mr. Hinds says that the bush was common every¬ 
where in California, but that he never witnessed any bad effects from it. It 
will probably prove hardy. — Bot. Beg. 38-45.
