plant, it appears, is a native of Madagascar; it' was received from the conti¬ 
nent by Messrs. Lucombe, Pince, & Co., under the incorrect name of Ixora 
Brunonis. — Bot. Mag. 4191. 
Solaneje. — Pentandria Monogynia. 
Hebecladus bijlorus . A very pretty Solanaceous plant, with graceful 
drooping purple and green flowers ; a native of the Andes of Peru, about 
Tarma, Canta, Cullnay, &c.“ It has only recently been introduced in a living 
state by Mr. Veitch of Exeter, through Mr. W. Lobb. It only requires a 
good greenhouse, and may be easily increased by cuttings, and probably by 
seed.— Bot. Mag. 4192. 
Passiflore.e. — Polyandria Pentagynia. 
Smeathmannia laevigata. A rare and remarkable genus, consisting of up¬ 
right (not climbing) shrubs, with white scentless flowers, nearly allied to 
Passiflora, first made known by Mr. Brown. The name was given by 
Dr. Solander, in compliment to Mr. Smeathman, an African naturalist and 
traveller, who detected the three species defined by Mr. Brown. This shrub 
constitutes a very desirable stove plant, with glossy, evergreen, almost dis¬ 
tichous leaves, and white flowers growing downwards, and best seen on the 
underside of the branches. It was introduced by the Earl of Derby through 
Mr. Whitfield. — Bot. Mag. 4194. 
Leguminose. — Diadelphia Decandria. 
Genista ( Teline ) Spachiana. This is a pleasing addition to the many- 
flowered and sweet-scented group of Canarian Genistas. It appears of diffuse 
habit, and the yellow flowers are borne numerously on rather loose spikes; 
being indigenous to the high mountains north-west of Teneriffe, it will pro¬ 
bably prove hardy in the climate of England. — Bot. Mag. 4195. 
Goodenoviee. — Pentandria Monogynia. 
Sccevola attenuata. A shrubby plant, a native of south-west Australia, 
first detected and described by Mr. Brown, possessing little beauty in its 
mode of growth or foliage, but in June and July bearing rather copious 
spikes of bright but light blue flowers, which then give it a very pretty ap¬ 
pearance. Our plant was reared from seeds sent by Mr. Drummond from 
Swan River, and probably gathered to the southward of that colony, towards 
King George’s Sound. It is cultivated in good loam, and treated as a 
greenhouse plant. — Bot. Mag. 4196. 
Azalea Ludovicice, garden hybrid. This charming variety has been named 
Ludovicia by the Dean of Manchester, in compliment to his eldest daughter 
Louisa. It is a sister seedling to that lately figured under the name of La?titiae, 
from Rhododendum ponticurn, by pollen of Azalea pontica. Nothing can be 
pretter than their delicately-coloured flowers. In the present instance, in¬ 
stead of a pale yellow or straw colour being the prevailing colour, we have a 
gay rosy tint superadded. — Bot. Reg. 60—45. 
Pos\CE2E.~Icosandria Polygynia. 
Potentilla bicolor. This pretty species is a perennial, with much the same 
kind of trailing habit as the old P. nepalensis, but it is rather more robust. 
In general appearance it looks like a hybrid between P. atrosanguinea or 
nepalensis and insignis ; but it has certainly a wild origin. In some respects 
it approaches P. insignis itself; but its hairs are long and soft, not short and 
close ; and its leaflets are in fives, not in threes. The appearance ot the 
petals is most delicate and beautiful; their ground-colour is clear yellow, 
over which, at the base, is drawn a series of long hexagonal red meshes,
