Echites splendens. We last month noticed a very splendid 
species of echites, E. atropurpurea , as having been received by 
Messrs. Veitch from Brazil, and we have now another, still more 
beautiful, sent by their indefatigable collector, Mr. Lobb, from 
the same neighbourhood. The flowers of the present species, 
splendens , are produced in large clusters, each one being full 
four inches across, of a convolvulate form. The colour is deep 
rose, the throat of the flower partaking of a deeper tint, which 
is spread out in the manner of a star. The plant may be termed 
a stove climber, and cannot fail to attract very general admira¬ 
tion.— Bot. Mag. 
Pentandria Monogynia- — Convolvulacece. 
Ipomea Tweediei. A rather pretty convolvulaceous plant, 
somewhat resembling I. quamoclit. Received some time back 
at the Botanic Gardens, Glasgow, from Mr. Tweedie, who found 
it in the woods of the Parana.— Bot. Mag. 
Decandiiia Monogynia — Ericece. 
Macleania angulata. An evergreen shrub, of great beauty, 
from the extensive collection at Woburn, where it was raised 
from seeds sent by Mr. Maclean from the Peruvian Andes. In 
general appearance the plant indistinctly resembles a corea , 
though the foliage is less coriaceous. The tube of the flower is 
about an inch in length, of a bright red, the^limb is yellow, the 
young leaves are very delicate, and have a deep tinge of red.—

Gynandria Hexandria — Aristolochiacece. 
Aristolochia gigcis. This genus is remarkable for producing 
some of the strangest forms observable in any flora, not even 
excepting orchidacese; but of all its strange fantasies this new 
species perhaps presents the strangest. The plant is a strong 
growing climber, and is well adapted for covering a trellis in a 
pot or for training up the rafters of a cool stove. The flower is
