closeness of habit; the leaves are rounder, the flowers smaller, 
and the flower-stalks longer than those o t' faucialis. It was 
brought from Brazil eight or nine years since, and has lately 
been received and propagated more largely by Mr. Low, of 
Clapton. It requires the usual treatment for plants of this clsss, 
that is, a humid atmosphere and gentle bottom heat while growing, 
and to be kept perfectly dry while resting.— Pax. Mag. Bot.

Bossicea Virgata. A species from Swan River, where it was 
found by Mr. Drummond, who sent seeds of it to Mr. Murray, 
of the Glasgow Botanic Garden, where the plant flowered in 
June, 1842 ; it resembles B. Scolopendrium in habit and manner 
of flowering, but may be known from both it and B. ensata by 
its bearing leaves pretty copiously at the same time with the 
flowers. The Corolla is beautifully variegated with red and 
yellow.-—Ro/. Mag.

Latliyrus Nervosus. A handsome and very desirable green¬ 
house plant discovered by Cameron in rocky places at Monte 
Video. It was introduced by Mr. Tweedie, who sent seeds from 
Puerto Bravo in South Brazil to the late Duke of Bedford. The 
plant has large and handsome blue flowers, with ample glaucous 
foliage, and is well suited for training upon a trellis in a pot; it 
will also bloom in the open border through the summer months.
