DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF NEW PLANTS.

reticulated; the limb is spreading, deeply five-lobed; the lobes 
reticulated and singularly crisped and waved at the margin. The 
style only is exserted about an inch beyond the mouth of the 
tube.— Bot. Mag. 4345. 
Gesneriace/e. — Didynamia Angiospermia. 
Hypocyrta glabra (Hort.) Although in words it may be diffi¬ 
cult to define the distinction between the present species and 
H . strigillosa, yet the two plants are clearly distinct, and the eye 
will at once detect the differences. I may observe, the present is 
of shorter and stouter growth, the stem purple, the leaves shorter, 
almost exactly elliptical, obtuse, of a thicker texture, with very 
indistinct nerves, and still more indistinct hairs; the corollas 
have the lower and constricted portion of the tube shorter, and 
they want the radiating yellow lines around the mouth. The 
shape of the corolla in the H. strigillosa reminds one of the 
Pouter pigeon ; that of the present species, of the globe-fish. Its 
colour is a rich scarlet, except the small limb, which is orange- 
yellow. It grows readily in stove-heat, treated like other Ges- 
neriaceous plants, and flowers in June and July. The Royal 
Gardens owe the possession of it to Mr. Makoy, of Liege ; and it 
is said to have been imported from South America.— Bot. Man. 
4346. 
Gesneria pardina (Hooker.) The flowering plants in the Royal 
Gardens of Kcw were received from Brazil through Mr. Gardner, 
who detected the species in the Organ Mountains. It is ex¬ 
tremely different from any, either published, or, as I have reason 
to believe, cultivated in our gardens. In general habit it resembles 
G. aggregata , but is much handsomer; and the spotting reminds 
one of the flowers of G. Douglassii. It blossoms in a moist stove, 
in October. The corolla is an inch and a half, or more, long;, 
ochrey-red, yellow within, spotted, especially the limb and tube 
internally, with deep red ; tube curved, yellow, and with a gib¬ 
bosity at the base above. Upwards the tube is gradually dilated. 
Mouth oblique, but of five, nearly equal, rounded, spreading seg¬ 
ments.— Bot. Mag. 4348. 
Asclepiade/E. —Pentandria Digynia. 
Hoya cinnamomifolia (Hooker.) To Messrs. Veitch and Sons, 
again, we are indebted for the introduction to our stoves of this 
new and handsome species of Hoya from Java, whence it was sent 
hi. 4
