Journal of a Horticultural Tour through Germany, Belgium, and part of France, in the Autumn of 1835 / To which is added, a Catalogue of the different Species of Cacteæ in the Gardens at Woburn Abbey.

V. PARADOXEÆ. SALM.

PERE'SKIA. PERE'SKIA. Cal. many-leaved united to the ovary. Cor. rotate. Style filiform. Stigma aggreg. Berry globose.

RHIPSA'LIS. RHIPSA'LIS. Cal. 3-6 parted, very short, the teeth acuminated. Petals 6 oblong. Stam. 12-18. Style filiform: stig. 3-6.

The following species of Cacteæ are daily expected from Germany, but whether they will prove distinct from those in the preceding pages, I am unable to determine until the plants arrive at Woburn Abbey.

Those kinds marked thus (*) were sent here, as new and undescribed species, I have therefore designated them by these names, until I can ascertain correctly whether they have been previously named or not.
