LIST OF NEW PLANTS. 
Begoniaceje. — Moncecia Polyandria. 
Begonia Martiana. With the exception of B. coccinea and one mentioned 
by Mr. Hartweg, there is perhaps no species of Begonia yet known that 
produces flowers of a finer colour than the present. Most of the members 
of the genus have blossoms varying from a pure white to a pale plush; but 
in the species before us, we have a rich and delicate crimson pink. The 
stems are beautifully striated and transparent, like those of the Balsam, and 
are clothed with neat foliage of a rather diminutive size. The blossoms are 
large, and sufficiently abundant to impart a most inviting aspect, and the 
smallness of the leaves only becomes a fault when the plant is kept in a dry 
atmosphere, or otherwise mismanaged during the growing season. It is a 
native of Brazil, and was introduced in 1829. — Pax. Mag. Bot. 
Composite. — Syngenesia Superjlua. 
Cineraria. Eight seedlings. No. 1. Lady Prudhoe, a fine large, broad- 
petalled, deep blue flower. No. 2. Countess of Zetland, an equally fine

Lanes Nursery, Bedale, Yorkshire. And six others : Fairy Queen, white ; 
Emperor of Russia, crimson tipped white; Sapphire, bright cerulean blue; 
Criterion, blue tipped white; Surrey Hero, crimson; and Desirable, crim¬ 
son tipped white ; from the collection of Mr. Ivery, Peckham; all excellent 
flowers, of first-rate properties. — Pax. Mag. Bot. 
ONAGRACEiE. — Octandria Monogynia. 
Fuchsia serratifolia. A new and beautiful species from Peru, introduced 
by Messrs. Veitch, of Exeter. The large leaves are of a deep rich indigo
