No other Buddleiacapable of living out-of-doorsin the British Isles has suchlarge individual flowers, and itis undoubtedly the handsomestin the genus; Sir J. Hooker even said, the handsomest of all Himalayanshrubs. R. GLOHOSA, Hope. (Dot. Mag., t. 174.) A partially evergreen, or, in hard winters, deciduous shrub, 15 ft. high in theopen, still more on walls and in favoured places ; of rather open, gaunt habit ;stems angular, covered with a tawny, loobC felt.

Native of Chile and Peru ; introduced by Messrs Kennedy and Lee in I774-This singularly handsome and striking shrub is hardy at Kew ; the only time Ihave seen it injured was in February 1895, when three out of four plants werecut to the ground, but sprang up again the following summer. It is distinctamong cultivated Buddleias in the yellow of its flowers and their arrangementin globular heads. B. JAPONICA, He
