BERBERIS GLUMACEA.
Class. Order.
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA.
This interesting plant was first discovered
by Mr. Menzies, at the mouth of the Colum-
bia river, and is common in shady Pine fo-
rests on the coast of the Pacific. Seeds of it
were brought to the Horticultural Society
by Mr. Douglas. Our plant flowered in
the month of April: it had been kept in a
greenhouse, but there seems to be good
reason to believe that it will bear our cli-
mate out of doors. It may be increased by
cuttings or Jayers, and should be planted in
loam and peat soil.

It grows to about the height of two feet,

It will propagate by cuttings, and requires
merely shelter from frost in a light, airy
greenhouse. The soil should be peat.

OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA.

A native of the Cape of Good Hope, in-
troduced in 1796 : itis of low bushy growth,
well covered with leaves, which are minute-
ly toothed at their edges. It flowers at va-
rious seasons, but generally in the latter
parts of summer and autumn, lasting a very
long while. It is readily increased by cut.
tings, and should be potted in peat earth,
requiring the usual protection, and as large
a portion of fresh air as possible, for it will
support any degree of cold short of actual
frost.

A ANEMONE ACUTIPETALA.

Class, Order,
POLYANDRIA POLYGYNIA.

A native of Switzerland, introduced in
1819 by Mr. Schleicher, and flowers with
us in April: its flowers are large and shewy,
and it is perfectly hardy. It will not in-
crease much excepting by seeds, which we
have not yet got to ripen with us. The soil
should be light loam.

Viewing such a pleasing flower ought to
exhilarate our minds, and lead them up to-
wards the Great Author of it, and us, and
all things; for, as is beautifully observed by
Bishop Burnet, “True religion is a perfec-
tion of human nature, and the joy and de-
light of every one that feels it active and
strong within him. Of this I write with
the more concern and emotion, because I
have felt this the true, and indeed the only
joy, which runs through a man’s heart and
life. It is that which has been for many
years my greatest support: I rejoice daily

in it: I feel from it the earnest of that su-
preme joy, which I pant and long for. I
am sure there is nothing else can afford any
true or complete happiness.”

DIDYNAMIA ANGIOSPERMIA.

We believe this is from South America,
but have no certain evidence. It climbs ra-
pidly, to a great height: although so slen-
der, in a few years our plant reached the
top of our largest stove, 50 feet from the
spot where the root was planted. It fastens
itself by the three short, but sharp and
strong hooks, with which every leaf is fur-
nished, which will take hold of any thing
with great firmness. The flowers come out
in April: they are, like most of this genus,
very shewy. It may be increased without
difficulty by cuttings, and should be potted
in light loam.

Being not very tender, it is a desirable
plant to cover any of the colder
of a stove where a more delicate article
would not thrive.

CAMELLIA JAPONICA Rossii.

MONADELPHIA POLYANDRIA.

This is a very fine variety, and was raised
by the Jate Mr. Wm. Ross, of Stoke New-
ington, who was an unassuming and inge-
nious cultivator, and one of the first persons
who obtained new varieties of these popular
plants from seeds.

It possesses the valuable quality of last-
ing for a very long time before it fades:
the flowers are moreover of a noble size
and rich colour, and being freely produced,
it is doubtless one of the most desirable
kinds. Its treatment should be like that of
the other Camellias: it is also increased in
a similar way by ingrafting upon the single
stock.

GOVENIA SUPERBA.

GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA.
This elegant plant we suspect to be the -
Maxillaria superba of De la Llave, which
as well as his other and kindred species,
Liliacea, would appear to differ generically
from true Maxillariæ. In this we have the
concurrent authority of our very discerning

friend Mr. Lindley, who has also kindly

suggested the above name, in honour of a
gentleman well known to most persons who
interest themselves in the more refined and
ornamental branches of Horticulture.

Our plant was received from Mr. Deppe,
at Xalapa, in the autumn of 1828, and
flowered in March 1831. The scape was
two feet in height. The flowers, which ex-
pand before the leaves are fully developed,
have a delicate fragrance, and, like most of
this class, are very durable.

It requires the stove, and should be pot-
ted in vegetable earth, with a little sand.
We have not yet been able to increase it.

This is a native of the South of Europe,

be perennial, although in some of the books
it is called annual. It is of very low growth,
and flowers in April, being a proper plant
for rock work. Its early pure white
flowers make it an acceptable subject also
for a pot, among the herbaceous collection.
It increases without difficulty, and should
be potted in light loam.

It was named by Dr. Wallich in compli-

so many years the Honorary Secretary of

With us it flowers in April, and continues
long in succession, although each flower
lasts but a single day. It requires the

This pleasing little plant is a native of

by Pallas in Flora Rossica, Plate 71, B.
He describes it as a native of Ingria, grow-
ing a foot high. Withus it flowers in April
abundantly, when it is very ornamental.
OF course it is perfectly hardy, and should
be planted in a border of peat earth and
loam: it may be increased either by sepa-
ration or by layers.

To whatever part of the world we turn

But oh how grateful ought we ever to be

His Heavenly will in His Holy Scriptures!
How should the christian revere those sa-
cred oracles—that treasure which is truly
inestimable. ‘ And therefore he is taken

up in the study of Redemption, because he
can no where so clearly see the Love and
Loveliness of God, as in the Face of a Re- _

This is a native of the Cape of Good

which were collected about the years 1801

bert, Esq. In splendid appearance it must
certainly yield to many sorts, but it has the
(among Heaths) rare property of being ex-
ceedingly fragrant, and more particularly
so in the night, which makes it very accep-

It requires no other treatment than is re-
commended for the rest of this elegant
Genus, and like most of them may be in-

This pleasing little plant is a native of
Russia: it has been named in honour of
our friend Dr. Fischer, of the Imperial
Garden, St. Petersburgh. It is a hardy
- perennial, growing about a foot high, with
a slender stem, producing its handsome
flowers in May and June. It will increase
by seeds, which appear to ripen in this
country, and should be planted in light
loam.

This is a native of the South of Europe :
it is perennial, and hardy, flowering with
us inJune. In height it does not exceed
a few inches, and spreads moderately. We
have nôt been able to increase it, which is
only to be done by seeds, and these have
not been produced with us. The soil

OCTANDRIA MONOGY NIA.

Native of the Cape of Good Hope; in-

exceedingly beautiful kind, upright in its
growth; the flowers are produced in the
utmost profusion; usually during the
months of April and May.

It requires protection from severe cold
in an airy greenhouse, but in all temperate
weather should be exposed as much as
possible. It will propagate by cuttings,
and should be potted in rather large pots
in peat earth. —

It requires the usual cool airy treatment,
and increases by cuttings without difficulty.
The soil should be peat.

VIEUSSEUXIA GLAUCOPIS.
^" Class. Order.
TRIANDRIA MONOGYNIA.

A most delicate and beautiful bulbous
plant, from the Cape of Good Hope. It
has been known for many years, but has
always been scarce. It was published by
Mr. Curtis, in 1791, as Iris pavonia. He
justly observes, that the delicacy of the
flower, and the eye-like spot at the base of
the petals, render it one of the most strik-
ing plants of the genus. The flowers last
but a single day, but are followed by others
in succession from the same spathe. It
increases slowly by offsets, and seems to
thrive best when planted in the front of a
stove, close to the wall, in sandy peat
earth.

MONADELPHIA | POLYANDRIA.

This very fine variety was raised from
seed by Mr. Press, at E. Gray’s, Esq. of
Hornsey. 1t is certainly among the best
which have been obtained in this country,
and flowers with tolerable certainty, espe-
cially if the plants are kept pretty hot
during the summer, after their shoots have
been formed.

It is multiplied by engrafting on the
single stock, and requires the same soil
and treatment as has been recommended
for the others.

We received bulbs of this pleasing plant

is evidently the P. ignea var. glauca of the
Botanical Magazine, 2687. It has been
kept in the greenhouse, potted in light
loam and peat, and will probably thrive
very well in a border in front of the stove,
and increase by offsets, or seeds, which are
likely to ripen in this country.

BOSSIÆA SCOLOPENDRIUM.
Class. Order.
DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA,

A native of New South Wales; intro-
duced in 1792. It is a moderate sized
shrub, with straggling branches, and flowers
in June. It flourishes if planted out in a
conservatory in loam and peat earth, and
may be increased by seeds, which should
be obtained from its native country, as it
seldom produces them here.

The flat branches peculiar to this extra-
ordinary plant, and two or three other
kinds, are very interesting: they rarely
have any foliage, although now and then a
small oval leaf is seen, but soon dropping
off.

How continually do we meet with new and
SA vera and modes of vegetable

life, the Infinite Wisdom
of that glorious Being who has created all
things, visible and invisible, by the word of
His power; Who preserves all His crea-

tures, for He opens His hand and satisfies —
the desire of every living thing. The Lord
is Righteous in all His ways and Holy in
all His works. The Lord is nigh unto all
them that call upon Him; to all that call
upon Him in truth.

the flower has greatly the appearance of an

This plant is a native of Natal, on the

most splendid subjects with which we are
acquainted. We received the bulbs from
our worthy friends at the Leyden Botanic
Garden, where we first noticed it in 1830.
It flowers in August, and grows from three
to five feet in height. It bore the winter
perfectly well out of doors, in front of our
stove, in sandy peat soil, and appears to
increase itself by offsets freely.

No art can do justice to the delicate and
elaborate pencilling of this exquisite flower;
its splendour is inimitable. While con-
templating its beauty, let us not forget the
All Powerful and most benign Creator, who
has formed such things to illustrate His
own unspeakable goodness, in giving us
such pleasing objects to excite our admira
tion, and to fill our hearts with punt

This most odoriferous plant is cultivated
in Japan, Cochin China, and China, where
it is greatly esteemed, and the flowers are
said to be used for scenting Tea. With us
it requires the greenhouse, in which it
should be constantly preserved. It is in-
creased by layers or cuttings, and flourishes
in loam and peat, with a portion of vegeta-
ble earth: the flowers are produced at va-
rious seasons. When their small size is
considered, the scent is astonishing, and so
diffusive, that we distinctly noticed it when
in bloom on the back wall of our green-
house, at considerably more than one hun-
dred yards distance.

The variety of fragrance in flowers is a
most wonderful proof of the power of our
Almighty Creator, and of His unspeakable

taking of those enjoyments, how much are

Although not equal in beauty to some of
this splendid genus, it is very fragrant, and
a desirable plant for a stove: its height is
usually from two to three feet, and it
flowers in the autumn.

The soil should be rich loam. It propa-

GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA.

A native of India, growing in the ground
in moist vallies, among hills. It was intro-
duced in 1800, and, preserved in the stove,
flowers in the summer. It thrives in loam -
and peat, with a proportion of saw-dust,
but has always been scarce, as it rarely pro-
duces any increase.

It is a graceful and pleasing plant ; the
flowers are of a complex and beautiful form,
and their parts, viewed through a micro-
scope, very interesting, as are indeed those
of all the individuals of this vast class.

The mind which is brought by Divine
Grace to contemplate these things, as all
formed by the hand of Infinite Wisdom,
may well exclaim, “ Great and marvellous
are Thy works, Lord God Almighty: just

‚and true are Thy ways, Thou King of
saints. Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord,
and glorify Thy Name? for Thou only art
Holy: for all nations shall come and
worship before Thee.”

This exquisitely fragrant and beautiful
plant is a native of Switzerland, Austria,
and other parts of Europe, on mountains.
It is said to have been cultivated in 1739.

It is perfectly hardy, and flowers in April
and May: it may be increased by layers,
and also by grafting upon the Mezereon or
the Wood Laurel. The soil should be loam

plants may easily enjoy their sweetness for
several months by giving some of them a
little gentle stove heat from January in
succession till the natural season, for they
will bear forcing extremely well.
