and afterwards at Kew : the season of blossoming with us occurs 
in the autumn, and it affords a succession of flowers for a long 
time. The flowers are nearly two inches long, funnel-shaped, 
the limb being oblique and strongly fimbriated at the margin; 
the colour is a deep lilac within, rather paler on the outside ; 
the plant rises to about a foot in height, and in habit resembles 
A. rosea.—Bot. Mag . 
Polyandria Monogynia — Portulacacece. 
Talinum Teretifolium. A neat little herbaceous plant, inha¬ 
biting various parts of North America, from Texas as far north 
as Pennsylvania, trailing over naked rocks. With us it is 
usually treated as a greenhouse plant, but is at present rather 
scarce. Plants were raised from seed received from Mr. Otto, 
of Berlin, in the garden of the Horticultural Society, and bloomed 
in 1841 : the flowers are of a lively purple colour, and are pro¬ 
duced in the manner of Portulacca > but are smaller. — Bot. Mag . 
Hexandria Monogynia — Amarylleidaeece. 
Stenoynesson Vitellinum. A rather pretty bulbous-rooted 
plant from Lima, whence it was sent by J. Maclean, Esq., to the 
Horticultural Society, in whose garden the plant flowered in a 
cool stove in February, 1842. Like other amaryllidaceous 
plants, it requires to be kept warm and moist while growing, but 
cooler and drier when at rest: the flowers are bright deep yel¬ 
low.— Bot. Reg. 
Gynandria Mqnandria —Orchidacece § Vandece. 
Odontoglossuni Citrosmum. This splendid species was im¬ 
ported by George Barker, Esq., of Birmingham, from Mexico, 
who presented it to T. Brocklehurst, Esq., of the Fence, near 
Macclesfield, by whose gardener, Mr. Appleby, it was exhibited 
at one of the great meetings of the Horticultural Society at 
Chiswick in 1842. It is a strikingly beautiful plant, with the 
general appearance of an Oncidium, having large snow T -white 
and rose-coloured flowers, exhaling a delicate smell of lemons. 
Dr. Lindley remarks that, “ Although such plants as this seem 
as if they weakened the genus Odontoglossum on account of 
their similarity in habit to Oncidium , yet in truth they rather
