Class. Order.
POLYANDRIA DIGY N1A.

This genus was named by Linnaeus, іп
honour of the great and excellent Dr. John
Fothergill, who was a most liberal en-
courager of the science of Botany. Avery
great number of plants, from different parts
of the world, were introduced by him, and

cultivated in magnificent style at his garden
at Upton, Essex. He sent out our late
friend, W. Bartram, in 1773, to Florida,
Georgia, and Carolina, in quest of objects
of Natural History, and is said to have |
possessed upwards of 3400 species of plants
from warm countries, and 3000 others that
would endure our climate.

The Fothergilla Gardeni is a native of Ca-
rolina, perfectly hardy; with us it flowers
in June, and should be planted in a border
of peat and loam. It will increase by
suckers, and also by layers, which take
two years to acquire sufficient roots.

Like the other Persoonias, it is difficult

its brilliant flowers in succession from June

It should be potted in light rich soil.

This charming plant is a new subject for

praise, who breathes nothing but mercies

may be increased by cuttings without diffi-
culty. The soil should be loam and peat.

PRIMULA INFLATA.

Class. Order.
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA.

A native of Hungary, lately discovered
and made known by Professor Lehmann,
in his interesting Monograph on this pleas-
iag Genus.

It is quite hardy, and flowers in April;
perennial, and not difficult to cultivate : it
inereases by dividing the root, and should
be kept in a small pot in loam and peat |
earth.

PRUNUS BOREALIS.

Class. Order.
ICOSANDRIA MONOGYNIA.

This is a native of Canada, and also of
the high mountains of New England and
Pensylvania, where it becomes a small tree.
The wood is said by Pursh to be exqui-
sitely hard and fine grained. The fruit is
small and red, agreeably flavoured, but
somewhat astringent. It is quite hardy,
and may be increased by layers or seeds,
growing very well in any soil.

Amygdalus sibirica

AMYGDALUS SIBIRICA.

Class, Order,
ICOSANDRIA MONOGYNIA.

*.......

A native of Siberia, as its name denotes.
We have had it in cultivation for many
years. It flowers less profusely than the
папа, to which it has a resemblance; it is
also earlier, as well as larger, and a more
free growing plant. It forms a moderate
sized shrub, perfectly hardy, increased by
layers, flowering in April, and growing in
any good garden soil.

EPIDENDRUM RIGIDUM.
Class, Order.
GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA.

We received this plant from our friend
Mr. Miller, of Dominica. It was first dis-
covered by Jacquin, in the woods of Mar-
tinigue, and figured by him in his Ame-
ricana. The flowers are most peculiarly
stiff in their consistence, having almost the
rigidity of horn. The stems are about a
foot in height: they appear to grow on
trees, and may be cultivated here pretty
well in astove, planted in vegetable earth

and moss.
