Trees; Shrubs; Forests and forestry. LIII. 50LANA CEiE : CRABO'WSKIX 669 well deserves a place in every collection against a wall. There are large and handsome plants, on a wall, in the Chelsea Botanic Garden, which were uninjured by the winter of 1837-8. Other Species of 'Lycium. — There were in the Horticultural Society's Garden, in 1838, plants named L. ovdtum and L. spatuldtum, but they appear to us nothing more than varieties of L. barbai'um. —L. obovdtum {Jig. 1303. from a specimen received from the Liverpool Botanic Garden) was raised there from a seed which Mr. Shepherd picked from a dried specimen received from Peru in 1836. The flowers are of a dark purple and very showy, and the plant has stood against a south wall through the winters of 1837, 38, and 39, with- out any protection. Genus CRABO'WSKU Schlecht.
