Polygamia Moncecia—Leguminosee. 
/ 
Mimosa Uruguensis. A pretty greenhouse shrub; seeds were 
received from Buenos Ayres, by the Hon. W. F. Strangways, 
and given to the Horticultural Society, where it was flowered in 
June, 1841. The treatment of this genus is so generally under¬ 
stood as not to require any remark; flowers numerous—pink.

Octandria Monogynia—Omagraceee. 
Fuchsia Cordifolia. This species is sometimes confounded 
with the numerous hybrid varieties now in cultivation, but it is 
a distinct species; it was found by that indefatigable collector, 
Mr. Hartweg, on Ketucha, a Volcano in Guatemala, at a height of 
10,000 feet above the sea, which circumstance should be borne 
in mind by the cultivator, as from it we may infer the plant is 
constitutionally robust and may probably withstand the severities 
of our winters ; but even if not hardier than those already known 
to us it will be found a desirable species. The plant is shrubby, 
producing numerous spreading branches with graceful heart- 
shaped leaves, with a sufficiency of flowers. They depend ele¬ 
gantly on long-curved peduncles, and are often three inches 
long; the tube is of a rich hue, between crimson and scarlet, 
gradually passing to orange and yellow, segments green, 
petals also green. Stamens conspicuous, of a bright yellow.—

Gynandria Monandria—Orchidaceae. 
Epidendrum Phceniceum. A beautiful species, imported from 
Cuba, by Messrs. Loddiges, in 1840. Differing from E. adeno- 
carpon principally in the superior brightness of its colouring— 
and in the structure of the lip, which in this species has two 
elevated plates at its base, and in the absence of radiating veins.

Icosandria Monogynia—Cactaceee. 
Cactus Alatus. A native of the Organ Mountains. The 
flowers are yellow and produced on the margins of the compound 
oblong joints of the plant; it is a singular and handsome 
species; introduced in 1837,— Bot. Mag.
