“This splendid Hemanthus was imported from South 
Africa by Messrs. Loddiges, and sent by their liberality to 
Spofforth, where it has twice flowered in the green-house. It 
approaches very near to H. puniceus, though very superior 
in beauty, but it seems rather to form a link between that plant 
and the species with patent flowers, viz. tenuiflorus, multiflo- 
rus, and Abyssinicus. The chocolate-coloured marking of the 
pract-like envelopes, and the base of the stalk and petioles, 
is nearly obsolete in this plant, and appears only in a few 
small speckles. In Abyssinicus the spots are abundant and 
intense, in tenuiflorus the sheathing of the petioles forms a 
taller and slenderer spotted column with the aspect of H. 
multiflorus. The immense number and contiguity of the 
flowers makes it almost impossible to represent the inflo- 
rescence of this beautiful plant correctly by a drawing. The 
plant is easily cultivated, and deserves a place in every green- 
house, though, perhaps, it will now be found only in Messrs. 
Loddiges’ rich collectio ”—W. H.

This climbing plant from Brazil has lately flowered with 
His Grace the Duke of Northumberland at Sion. It has 
heart-shaped ciliated leaves, of a firm texture and with a 
shining surface. The flowers are in axillary umbels, rather 
large, and bright yellow. It is a handsome stove plant.
