The flowers of the Hibiscus sinensis, mutable rose, live in the West Indies, their native climate, but one day; but have this remarkable property, they are white at the first expansion, then change to deep red, and become purple as they decay. The gum or resin of this fragrant vegetable is collected from extensive underwoods of it in the East by a singular contrivance.

An instance did not occur of any one going mad during the period of my residence. Many of them are affected with a kind of gonorrhoea. THE ANJING-AYER, Mustela lutra. W. Bell delt. THE ANJING-AYER. Sinensis delt. A. Cardon fc.
Bastard Cherry. China, 1891. There are very few more ornamental trees in cultivation in this country than the double-flowering Cherry. It makes a charming small-growing tree, is of free growth and perfectly hardy, and one of, if not the most, floriferous of the tribe. The flowers are individually large, pinky or purplish-white, and produced with the leaves in April. P. SINENSIS. China, 1869.
Why will light evanish so soon? the fragment that shone in on this Terra Incognita went out, was submerged in the Cup of Thea Sinensis that Aaron received from Sophie's hand. I cannot divine why all this new world of being should fancy to unroll itself, an endless panorama of pansophical mysteries, before my eyes. I do not appreciate it in the least.
A Chinese Plum of somewhat slender growth, and with the branches wreathed in small, white flowers. It is often seen as a pot plant, but it is one of the hardiest of its family. P. sinensis flore-pleno is a double white form, and the most ornamental for pot work. There is also a variety with rose-coloured flowers. P. SPINOSA. Sloe, or Blackthorn.
It is, unfortunately, not very hardy, and requires wall protection to do it justice. B. SINENSIS. China, 1815. This is a really handsome and distinct species, with twiggy, deciduous branches, from the undersides of the arching shoots of which the flowers hang in great profusion.
