We have before us a dried specimen in bud of this beautiful little thing, recently discovered by Dr. C. C. Parry, in Lower California. We suppose the ladies will exclaim, " Isn't it cute !" when they see it, or perhaps, "The little dear!" We shall pardon them for these phrases, for we feel like joining with them. The little "moss" around an ordinary bud, has always given a new value to the ordinary rose; here we have a bud set among leaves which are all like mossy beds. We are glad to know that Dr. Parry has recently succeeded in getting a good supply of roots, and which are now growing nicely in his garden at San Diego, California, so that we may soon see it in culture everywhere, as well as this little bud in a dry state.
