bouldti, with respect to which, I am favoured with the fol- 
lowing remarks, by the Hon. and Very Rev. Mr. Herserr. 
* T understood, from the first, that AtstramEeria Erem- 
bouldit was raised in Germany between A. psittacina and 
pulchra, or Hookeriana, and I see no reason to doubt the 
fact. ALstR@MERIAs impregnated by the pollen of another 
species are very apt to produce strong pods, which disap- 
point the cultivator by proving empty; but, occasionally, 
they contain one or two seeds. Three plants of A. aurea, 
var. Valparadisiaca, by A. pallida, have been raised at 
Spofforth, but have not yet flowered, and do not Tow so 
freely as the mother plant. A. Erembouldti is not a free 
plant. A strong tuber planted out amongst other AtstrRa@- 
MERIAS at Spofforth did not vegetate. A very vigorous pot 
full of it in flower was exhibited at Chiswick last summer 
(1839), by Mr. Barcuay’s gardener, who is very successful 
in cultivating this Genus.”
