On each side of the house, and running itswhole length, is a neat pavement 10 ft. 6 in. broad. The wholeis thoroughly drained, and has a neat appearance. It will beobserved that the fire has great command of the boiler, and theapparatus is so constructed that the whole range may be heated DESCRIPTION AND PLANS OF A RANGE OF NEW PINE-STOVES. 191 at once, either at top or bottom, or both together; or half ofthe range, or only its middle divisions, may be worked sepa-rately—a very economical and good arrangement.

Bentham, Labiates, p. 414.Raised from Californian seeds collected by Hartweg. A white, sage-like, herbaceous plant, growing about 2 feethigh. Leaves on long stalks, oblong, blunt, crenate, having astrong and by no means agreeable odour, proceeding apparentlyfrom numerous point-like dark brown glittering glands, withwhich they are covered, especially on the under side. Stemerect, producing a great number of white labiate flowers, onshort, lateral, one-sided racemes. Stamens long and prominent. This seems to be unable to bear an English winter withoutprotection ; for it has perished among rockwork in that of 1849-50. The flowers have no beauty; but the snow-white leavesand stems produce an appearance sufficiently remarkable to giveit a claim to cultivation where the climate agrees with it. Oct. 10, 1849. 23. Arbutus xalapensis. Humboldt
