LIST OF NEW PLANTS. 
Gynandria Monandria. — OrchidacecB. 
Stcinhopea Martiana var. bicolor. A native of Mexico, dis¬ 
covered by Baron Karwinski in 1827, and afterwards by M. Ga- 
leotti. It is one of the most distinct and magnificent species of 
the genus, and in the magnitude of its blossoms is second only 
to S. tigrina. The sepals are straw-coloured or almost white, 
faintly and sparingly marked with clusters of little vinous dots ; 
the petals appear transparent white, with large spots of intense 
crimson; the lip is also a clear ivory white, except a slight dis¬ 
coloration at the base. The horns are of great size and 
strength, and taper into a kind of tendril; besides which they 
are exactly parallel with the epichilium, the form of which is 
almost linear, the two edges being as nearly as possible parallel 
with each other, and not a great deal broader than the column, 
.— a mark by which the species is immediately recognised. 
Messrs. Rollison have lately flowered it, and believe they ob¬ 
tained it from Mexico. — Rot. Reg. 
Diandria Monogynia. — Scrophiilariacece. 
Schizanthus candidus. A tender annual, having pinnatifid 
leaves, with linear, entire, rather wavy segments. The flowers 
are pure white, without a stain of any other colour ; their lower 
lip has the middle lobe divided into two acuminate flat seg¬ 
ments, and the two lateral ones setaceous and shorter; the 
upper lobe is two-lobed. It was found wild near Coquimbo by 
Mr. Bridges, whose No. 1356 it is. — Rot. Reg. 
Polygamia Moncecia. — LeguminoscE. 
Acacia spectabdis. Among 340 species of Acacia enumer¬ 
ated by Mr. Bentham this is one of the finest, and it certainly 
is the very handsomest we have seen from New South Wales, 
beautiful as many of them are. It is a native of Wellington 
Valley and other places on the east coast of New Holland, 
where it was found by the late Mr. A. Cunningham and by 
Mr. Frazer. For its introduction to this country we are in¬ 
debted to H. B. Lott, Esq., who presented it to Messrs. Lu- 
combe, Pince & Co. of Exeter. It belongs to the same section 
of the genus as A. discolor and dealbata ; but is probably more 
decidedly a greenhouse plant than they are, for it comes from 
the country to the north of Sydney, and therefore naturally in¬ 
habits warmer latitudes. From both it is known by its bioad, 
smooth, glaucous leaflets. — Rot. Reg. 
Pentandria Monogynia. — Rutacea. 
Ergthrochiton Rrasiliensis. This is one of those fragrant
