Brassia Wrayce. This new species of brassia was sent to the 
splendid collection of G. C. Harter, esq., of Broughton New 
Hall, near Manchester, by G. U. Skinner, esq., from Guatemala 
in 1840. It flowered in October 1842, bearing its numerous 
flowers on a somewhat pendant raceme; the sepals and petals 
are yellowish green, with a few large brown blotches ; the late¬ 
ral sepals are about two inches long; the upper one nearly 
equalling the petals about an inch in length. Lip two thirds 
the length of the lateral sepals, the colour is yellow tinged with 
green, and spotted with numerous small blotches of brown.—

Tecoma Jasminiodes. A climbing shrub of humble growth, 
a native of Moreton Bay, on the north-eastern coast of New 
Holland, where it was found by the late Mr. A. Cunningham, 
who introduced it to the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew, where 
it is treated as a greenhouse plant, and bears its lovely blossoms, 
milk white, with a deep rose-coloured eye, in the month of 
August.— Bot. Mag. 
Pentandria Monogynia —Primulacece. 
Androsace Lanuginosa . Seeds of this charming alpine plant 
were sent to J. T. Mackay, esq., from the Himalaya Moun¬ 
tains by Dr. Royle, and they flowered in the open air in the 
Dublin Botanic Garden, in August 1842, when the plants 
promised to be hardy. The flowers are of a delicate rose colour 
with a yellow eye, while the foliage and branches and young 
portions of the stem are densely clothed with long silky hairs. 
Dr. Royle speaks of it as growing about Choon; Dr. Govan 
found it on the Sirmore Mountains.— Bot. Mag. 
Gynandria Monandria — Orchidece. 
Oncidium Bicallosum . This plant has so much the habit of 
O. Cavendishianum, as to seem a new variety of it, although in 
reality quite a distinct species. The flowers are fully two inches 
in diameter, they appear in a dwarf erect raceme, not panicle, 
and are of a rich yellow, with the petals and sepals bordered 
with crimson ; the labellum has two very small lobes, and for its 
crest has a pair of distinct tubercles, the posterior double, the 
anterior three-lobed, and the. two separated by a considerable 
space. The flowers are also slightly scented, which is not the 
case with O. Cavendishianum; like all these plants it requires a
