LIST OF NEW PLANTS. 
Gynandria Monandria—Orchidacese. 
Aerides Brookii. An extremely beautiful epiphyte of vigorous 
habit, producing along and tortuous stem with luxuriant leaves, 
on which are singular patches of a decidedly glaucous nature. 
The raceme of flowers issues from near the top of the stem, and 
is from a foot to eighteen inches long, drooping and bearing 
several side branches ; flowers white and deep pink or pale purple, 
very numerous and delightfully fragrant, and they last for an 
extraordinary long time. For cultivating this charming plant, 
a block of wood to which it can be attached should be chosen, 
or it should be planted in sphagnum moss in an open wooden 
basket, ineither case it must be suspended from the roof of a warm 
orchidaceous house, and placed near the sources of atmospheric 
moisture in summer. It must be watered assiduously during 
the summer months, and kept rather dry in winter.— Pax. Mag.

Didynamia Angiospermia—Scrophulariacese. 
Mimulus Maclainianus. A very showy hybrid Mimulus, 
with the habit of M. cardinalis ; the flowers are crimson with 
an extremely dark rich throat. It appears to have been raised 
by Mr. Maclain, Florist of Harold’s Cross, near Dublin, and 
to have been named after this person by Sir W. J. Hooker. It 
requires to be grown in a pot of rich loamy soil, and to be libe¬ 
rally watered during the season of its growth ; the general treat¬ 
ment of M. cardinalis will most probably suit it.— Pax. Mag.

Decandria Monogynia—Leguminosse. 
Oxylobium Pultenece. A native of New Holland, not ex¬ 
actly a new species, having been brought from thence in 1824, 
but still scarce ; the plant is a dwarf branching greenhouse shrub, 
producing lively orange-coloured blossoms in bunches from all 
parts of the stem, each of which is crowned with a large and 
dense cone of inflorescence. This is decidedly one of those
