DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF NEW PLANTS. 
LoBELiACEiE. —Pentandria Monogynia . 
Lobelia glandulosa. This is a hardy herbaceous plant, of the 
easiest cultivation, growing freely in any kind of garden soil, and 
not unlike the well-known L. siphilitica, but much less showy. 
It attains a height of two and a half feet, flowers in September 
and October, and, like so many of its race, prefers a moist situa¬ 
tion to a dry one. It has been raised in the garden of the Hor¬ 
ticultural Society, from seeds collected in North Carolina, and 
presented by W. Dimes, Esq., f.h.s. The specific term was 
adopted in Walter’s “ Flora of Caroline.”— Bot. Reg . 6—46. 
ScrophulariacevE. —Biandria Monogynia. 
Veronica salicifolia. This plant was figured and described in 
Paxton’s “Magazine of Botany,” last month, under the name of 
V. Bindley ana, as a supposed new species. But Dr. Lindley 
now refers it to the V. salicifolia of foster s Prodr., p. 3, n. 11, 
found by that botanist in New Zealand. “The point is not, how¬ 
ever, entirely free from doubt, and the conclusion at which we 
have arrived is open to revision.”— Bot. Reg. 5 46.

CoNVOLVULACEiE. —Pentandria Monogynia. 
Ipomcea simplex. When the rounded uncouth-looking tuber 
of this plant was presented to our garden by the Earl of Derby, 
in 1844, brought home from the eastern colonies of South Africa 
by Mr. Bender, we were not prepared for a cluster of such lovely 
flowers as appeared at the base of the stems in July 1845. It is 
one of the Ipomceas that is best worth cultivating, for it needs only 
a small pot, placed in a greenhouse, and no trellis or apparatus to 
support the stems, which at most do not exceed a foot in length, 
and are clothed with long, slender, almost grass-like leaves : it is, 
however, difficult of increase. The flowers are about two inches 
in diameter, of a rich rosy purple.— Bot. May. 4206. 
Rubiace^.— Pentandria Monogynia. 
Heinsia jasminifora. Avery little known shrub, from western 
tropical Africa, presented to the Royal Gardens of Kew by the 
Earl of Derby, who imported it from Sierra Leone through Mr. 
Whitfield. The shrub has a good deal the appearance of a Gar¬ 
denia or Randia, with flowers, shaped indeed something like
