CLEMATIS SIEBOLDII.
(SIEBOLD'S CLEMATlS.)
CLASS. POLYANDRIA.  ORDER. POLYGYNIA.
NATURAL ORDER. RANUNCULACEÆ.
Generic Character. — Involucre absent, or growing in the form of a calyx under the flower. Calyx consists of from four to eight coloured sepals. Petals none. Carpels many, collected together, surmounted and terminated by a long feathery tail.
Specific Character. — A climbing greenhouse shrub with ternate leaves. Leaflets lobed, end lobe cordate acuminate, side lobes obtuse. Leaves and Leaf-stalk quite smooth. Calyx consisting of from five to seven parts, ovate, acute, greenish white. Sepals smooth. Carpels numerous.

This, though not so showy as many other species of the genus Clematis, nevertheless highly merits a place in every collection. The plant grows freely, and the flowers are produced in abundance, which, notwithstanding their singular colour, make a striking appearance with the dark-green leaves, and upon the whole is very ornamental. It is a native of Japan, and imported by Dr. Siebold.
Our drawing was made from a plant in full flower at Messrs. Whitley and Osborne's, Fulham, in June last. It grows well, as do all the species, in light loamy soil, and young plants increase freely planted in soil under a glass. They also increase readily by layering the young shoots, which may be successfully done about August or September, or by seeds ; some species ripen their seeds perfectly and plentifully.
The name of Clematis is derived from Clema, the branch of a vine, on account of most of the species having the habit of the vine — that is to say, they have a climbing habit like it.

Rosa noisette Fraseri ** light purple ** 10 ft. All evergreen shrubby kinds, must be planted in a light soil and warm situation to do well. They make a fine show on a trellis in front of a house on a south aspect.

The Rouge de Luxembourg is a brilliant and highly coloured moss-rose, of a beautiful form, and well filled up in the centre; the colour is carmine, and may be considered a rose of much merit.

PAEONIA EDULIS REEVESIANA. (Mr. Reeve’s paeony).
class. Polyandria. order. Digynia. Natural order. Ranunculaceae.

Generic Character. — Calyx of five sepals, leafy, persisting. Corolla of five or of many petals,
without claws. Stamens below the germen, filaments filiform, anthers oblong, erect, two-celled,
bursting outwards. Style none. Stigmas from three to five, sitting, thick, recurved, downy,
persisting. Capsules three or five, full of seeds, which aye- roundish, hard, and albuminous.
Specific Character.- Roots thick and fleshly. Stems, many. Leaves and flower as represented on the
plate.
This splendid new herbaceous plant is a native of China, from whence it was introduced by Mr. Reeves, after whom it is named, and to whom this country is indebted for many other Chinese rare plants. The roots of many of the varieties of P. edulis or albiflora are boiled in broth by the Monguls.
This plant is perfectly hardy, and requires the same treatment as the other varieties of edulis, that is to be planted in rich loamy soil, and increased by dividing the roots.
Our drawing was taken from a plant in the collection of Mr. Tate, of Sloane Street, who has several other unique things from the same quarter of the world.
