The axillary-flowered Cæsulia is quite new in the gardens, and is said to have a perennial root, by the parting of which we suppose it may be increased; and must be considered as a hot-house plant in this country. Our figure was taken from a living specimen, obligingly communicated to us last summer by the Marquis of Blandford, from White Knights, Berks; who, we believe, first raised it in this country, from East Indian seeds.

At the request of several of our subscribers, who compliment us in saying this work contains nearly all the more showy plants now in cultivation; and who moreover are desirous that it should not long want any of them: we here beg leave to present them with that queen of hot-house plants, the superb Strelitzia: although strictly against our rules and plan; a coloured quarto print of it having already been given in the Botanical Magazine.
