It is gratifying to note that amidst the rage for foliage plants those with handsome flowers are not forgotten. The tribe of Apocynaceae gives us many beautiful plants, usually with sweet, waxy flowers, of which the Stephanotis and Rhyncospermum jasminoides are familiar examples. This is a new introduction of Mr. Bull, who gives it the following character : "A charming variety of this attractive genus of stove climbers, producing racemes of lovely flowers of a soft, delicate bluish-pink color, with an openthroat, marked opposite the center of the oblique limb segments by radiating lines of bright rose. The flowers are about five inches in diameter, of good form and thick wax-like substance. From its distinct character, free habit, and the pleasing color of the flowers, it will prove an excellent companion for the magnificent Dipladenia Brearleyana, and like it, will make a first-rate exhibition plant."

Dipladenia Carissima.
