DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF NEW PLANTS. 
greenhouse, and in the summer is the better for standing in the 
open air.— Bot. Mag. 4266. 
Labiate. Didynamia Gymnospermia. 
Scutellaria incarnata. From the rich collection of Mr.Veitch, 
of Exeter, who received seeds from Professor W. Jameson, 
of Quito, gathered on the western declivities of the Andes. It 
has deep rose-coloured flowers, and being readily cultivated, will 
probably be found a good bedding plant; it requires to be kept 
in a greenhouse through the winter.— Bot. Mag. 4268. 
Ranunculace^e. —Polyandria Polygynia. 
Clematis crispa. This is an old plant lately reintroduced to 
our gardens by Messrs. Maule and Sons, of the Stapleton Road 
Nurseries, Bristol, who raised it from North American seeds, 
marked “a new sweet-scented clematis,” and well it deserves that 
name, for its fragrance is most agreeable, especially towards 
evening. It flowers incessantly during all the summer, that is 
to say, from May to October, and it seems likely to go on bloom¬ 
ing as long as it remains in a growing state ; the flowers are 
large, of a pale purple, and it is in all respects a charming hardy 
species.'— Bot. Reg. 60-47. 
Scropiiulariace^. —Didynamia Angiospevmia. 
Torenia concolor. This plant was sent to the Horticultural 
Society from China, by Mr. Fortune, from whom we have the 
following memorandum: “ This plant was found growing in 
marshy ground, on the mountain of Hong Kong, nearly two 
thousand feet above the level of the sea, and reached the garden 
of the Horticultural Society, in July, 1844. In China it flowers in 
the autumn. After the flowering season is past, the dry weather 
sets in, and the stem and leaves shrivel up and remain in this 
state during the winter months, when the temperature is some¬ 
times down very near the freezing point. During the hot and 
damp summer months it grows again with great vigour, and 
forms its flowers in great profusion. In this country it should 
be treated as a half stove plant, and grown in a moist atmosphere 
during the summer. As it is a trailing plant it requires a trellis. 
It grows readily in any free soil, and is easily multiplied by cut¬ 
tings. The flowers are entirely a deep blueish purple.— Bot. 
Reg. 62-47.
