pure white of its blossoms and their delicious fragrance. Blume, 
indeed, says that the flowers vary from white to pink, but of the 
latter hue we have never seen them. Flowered at Kew in April 
1842.— Bot. Mag. 
Decandria Trigynia. — Malphigiacece. 
Stigmaphyllum Heterophyllum. A showy handsome climber, 
with bright yellow flowers and ample foliage. It was raised by 
Mr. Veitch from seeds sent from Buenos Ayres by Mr. Tweedie. 
It is a ready flowerer, and promises to be worthy of cultivation 
in every stove or warm greenhouse, making a beautiful object 
if trained against trelliswork. At Exeter it flowered in 
December, 1842. — Bot. Mag. 
Pentandria Monogynia — Lobeliacece. 
Siphocampylos Longepedunculatus. This is another fine 
Siphocampylos, for which our stoves are indebted to Mr. 
Gardner, who sent home seeds from the Organ Mountains of 
Brazil. The length of the peduncule appears to be highly va¬ 
riable, for whereas the native specimens sent home by Mr. 
Gardner exhibit them as long or even longer than the leaves, in 
our flowering plant, raised from his seeds, they are scarcely more 
than half the length of the leaf. The stems are long, and trail¬ 
ing rather than climbing, and should be fastened to wire trellis. 
The flowers are large, being about three inches in length, the 
tube contracted near the base, enlarged upwards, curved, dark 
purplish-red, the segments yellow.— -Bot. Mag. 
Gynandria Monandria— Orchidece. 
Catasetum Viridi-flavum. Every district of tropical South 
America seems to afford a Catasetum different from what is 
found in other places. The present, quite unlike in the general 
appearance of its flowers to any other known to us, is yet 
with difficulty to be distinguished in words. It was discovered 
by Mr. Barclay (while employed as government botanist on 
the Pacific side of South America in H. M. surveying ship 
Sulphur) in Central America, and sent thence to the Royal 
Botanic Gardens of Kew, where it flowered in the summer of 
1842. The pseudo-bulbs and foliage are of the usual character 
of Catasetum ; the flower-spike rises from the base of the bulb, 
and consists of seven or eight large flowers, of a uniform yellow¬ 
ish green.— Bot. Mag. 
Pentandria Monogynia. — Campanulacece . 
Lobelia Erinus, var. grandiflora. There is hardly a prettier 
or more interesting object in the whole range of easily-cultivated 
flowers of a dwarf habit than the old and well-known Lobelia 
erinus. But the variety now represented is a yet more enchant¬ 
ing little plant, in consequence of its flowers being larger, and
