crimson hue, resembling greatly the colour of the flowers of 
Achimenes grandijlora. — Paxt. Mag. Pot. 
Didynamia Angiospermia. — ScrophulariacecB. 
Antirrhinum majus var. quadricolor. An accidental variety 
of Snapdragon, with a neat habit and copious inflorescence, the 
predominant colour of which is a tawny orange, though there 
are three others, yellow, pale purple, and red. It has bloomed 
at Mr. Low’s, Nurseryman, Clapton. — Paxt. Mag. Pot. 
Polyandria Pentagynia. — Ranunculacece.

Aquilegia Skinneri. A very handsome species, sent to Wo¬ 
burn Abbey by G. W. Skinner, Esq., from Guatemala. Its pro¬ 
minent characteristics are the great length of the spurs in the 
flowers, the protrusion of the stamens, and the brilliant red 
colour of the lower part of the flower spurs; its general appear¬ 
ance is an improvement on A. canadensis : planted in the open 
border, it attains a greater size and brilliancy than when grown 
in pots.— Paxt. Mag. Pot. 
Monadelphia Tetrandria. — Dilleniacece. 
Candollea tetrandra. This is a greenhouse plant of no great 
beauty, possessing however a neat habit, and bearing plenty of 
dingy straw-coloured flowers. It is best suited for planting in 
the borders of a conservatory; it was raised from Swan River 
seeds. — Pot. Reg. 
Didynamia Angiospermia. — Scrophulariacece. 
Tetranema Mexicanum , syn. Penstemon Mexicanus. It is a 
very pretty tender greenhouse plant, quite peculiar in its ap¬ 
pearance, in consequence of its almost stemless habit, and the 
profusion of little corymbs of showy purple and white flowers 
which rise up from among the leaves on long purple scapes. 
It should be top-dressed in autumn, and kept rather dry in 
an intermediate house between a stove and a greenhouse, 
during winter. In spring it should be re-potted in light free 
soil, chiefly leaf-mould and sandy loam, and placed in a green¬ 
house, where it will remain in bloom the greater part of the 
summer. — Pot. Reg. 
Decandria Pentagynia. — Silenacece. 
Viscaria oculata. A beautiful hardy annual, very nearly resem¬ 
bling Agrostemma Cceli Rosa , from which it is distinguishable 
from having a dark eye, and the surface of the seed-vessel being 
rough with fine granulations. It was gathered by Mr. G. Munby 
on dry hills thirty miles from Algiers, and given by him to
