Orchidacece. This very singular plant was given to
Mr. Bateman by Mr. William Hooper of Lambeth,
who received it from Rio in 1836. I t is a remarkable
fenus, resembling Megaclinium in some respects,
ut belonging in reality to Vandece, among which
it is marked by the nearly total absence of the
petals, the cirrhate column, and the soft fleshy
cinnamon-coloured gland,to which a pair of reniform
pollen masses are slightly attached. In this
division of Orchidacea, it is uncertain where it
must stand; probably other genera still undiscovered
will connect it with the system better than
can at present be done." Bot. Reg.

MANDEVILLA, Lindley. Named after Henry John
Mandeville, Esq., H. B. M. Minister at Buenos
Ajrres, to whom we are indebted for the introduction
oi this and many interesting plants. Linn. 5, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Apocynacecs. "This new climber, according
to Lindley, is remarkable for its deliciously
sweet, snowy-white and very beautiful flowers. It
will probably form an abundant flowerer: but like
allseedliog shrubs, its first stage of growth is more
productive of foliage than blossoms." Bot. Reg. It
appears that in order to grow this plant to perfection
it should be planted out in the border of the
conservatory. If cultivated during summer in the
open air, or in pots in the greenhouse, it grows
freely, but does not flower. After the flowering
season is over, the plants should be pruned similarly
to vines or other plants, which bear their
flowers and fruit upon the wood of the same year.
I t may be propagated by cuttings or seeds, sown in
a pit, with a little heat.

Linn. 4, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Froteacea. This genus of
plants originally found its way into our gardens in
1839, the M. glahrata having been raised from
Swan River seeds by Robert Mangles, Esq., of
Sunning Hill. They are proteaceous plants, allied
to Grevillea, mt h neat-toothed, long-sialkedleaves,
and very small flowers of no beauty. It is for
their foliage alone that they will be cultivated,
