appear to have been figured before, or even mentioned by any botanical author except Mrt 
Haworth. 
‘ Aristolochla toraentoaa 5 a new species from the Hammersmith nursery, nearly allied to 
A.Stpko'f v/ith -which Dr. Sims seems to think it may have been confounded even by Mi- 
chaux. 
Erica jnonadelpha a new species considered by Mr. Andrews as a variety of E. Banhii, and 
omirted in the new edition of Hortus Kewensis. Very different from E. monadelphia ol 
chews and Willdenow, which is E. furfuro%a of Salisbury and,of the Hortus Kewensis. 
Rhapis fiahciriformh A male plant. This is one of the humblest of the palms j alj 
of which from their being so seldom seen to flower with us are subjects of curiosity. 
Lachenalia /udda and unkolcr \ the latter appears to be badly named, three colours being 
distinguishable in the figure here given. The species of this genus appear to be very numc'f. 
rous • and the distinction of species from varieties, perhaps not yet well understood. 
VciV.os pentaphyllCf native of Guiana and St. Lucia, from Mr. Vere’s collection, Kennlng- 
ton Gore. 
Mesembryanthemum 5 a species never described but by Haworth, and not taken 
up by Wilidenow, though v^ry distinct from viirpmum, 
Rosa hracteata ; a hardy ever-green Rose, brought from China by Lord Macartney, on his 
return from his celebrated embassy to the emperor. Though of so-late introduction into 
Europe, rhis Rose has been twice before figured, by Wendland in his Hortus Herrenhausen- 
sis, and by Ventenat, from the garden of M. Cels. Communicated by Messrs. Malcolms, 
nurserymen, at Kensington. 
Idia monadelpha and fucata. 
Drimia lar,ceafcUa\ considered as a species of Sachenalia by all botanists before Mr. 
Ker. This number contains an enumeration of all the species of this genus known to 
Mr. Ker. 
Allium hhulcum of Ridoiite; the only author who has before noticed this species. 
Neottia Native of the West Indies j an ornamental plant in our stoves, flower¬ 
ing in the midst of winter. 
Eriospermum latifolium (*). With an enumeration of the known species of this very 
curious genus. From Mr. Knight’s nursery, in the Klng’s-toad. 
Crocus sidphereus One of the least splendid of the species of this harbinger of 
-Spring. 
Allium Ampeloprasum, native of the Levant, of Portugal, and of Home’s Island In 
the Bristol Channel. Mr. Ker suspects it to be the origin of the common cultivated 
Leek. 
■ Geranium a species known to Tournefort, but only lately introduced into Eu¬ 
rope. Communicated by Messrs. Whitley and Brame, nurserymen, at Old Brompton and at 
Fulham. It makes a remarkably beautiful drawing. 
Cytisus dmaricatus {B.) a smooth-leaved variety, and rather an ornamental shrub, requir¬ 
ing to be protected from severe frost. From Messrs. Loddlges. 
Tussilagoyi'^^rir^s 5 a late introduction among us, though commonly cultivated in France 
for the sake of its odoriferous flowers. From the Hammersmith nursery. 
Podalyria lupinoides\ a very rare species, and still more rarely seen in flower. P/Ir. Lod- 
diges, who has been in possession of the plant several years, never was so fortunate as to have 
it in flower before. 
Tulipa cluiiana. This article contains an enumeration of the species, as known to Mr. 
,JKer. 
Carex fraseriana. A new and very remarkable species, with leaves resembling a liliaceous 
plant. Found in North Carolina by the late Mr. Fraser. 
Trichonenia caulesccns. From the Hammersmith nursery. 
Iris ruthenicaB. This plant was supposed to have been Iris 'verna\ but, from the account 
here given by Mr. Ker, it seems probable that I. verna of Gronoviu^, Linnaeus and Miller, 
is only a variety of crhtata j or, at least, it is much nearer a kin to that species than to the 
one here figured; which h^s usually passed in cur nurseries for it. 
Pultenoea daphnoides. One of the first, and now qne of the most common, of the plants 
from New South Wales. 
Zieria Smithii. Native of New South Wales. A shrub named by Dr. Smith, in honour 
of Mr. Zier, a learned botanist, of German extraction, but who lived and died in this 
country. 
Pktosporum A fine evergreen tree, with sweet scented flov'^^is ; native of China ; 
from the collection of Messrs. Malcolm and Sweet, at Stockv/eli summon. 
Stapelia reclinata\ froni the collection of Mrs. Walkfj Stockv/ell. We have n» 
doubt but that this genus, now so extensive, will be beieafter divided into several. 
Bignonia grandijlara. This plant is really a great acquisition Co our gardens.—It is not im- 
yrobabie but that it may be found as hardy as B. rsdicans j but, if not, it promises to be 
^ splcndis
