Of late years several hybrids have been raised, especially by M. 
Lemoine, of Nancy, between G@. gandavensis and G. purpureo- 
auratus, These are known in gardens under the name of G. 
Lemoineit. Three of them are figured in the ‘“‘ Garden,” July 24th, 
1886. Max Leichtlin has lately raised several fine hybrids between 
G. Saundersit and gandavensis, which have been sent out in America 
under the name of G. Childsi. M. Lemoine has also lately crossed 
Lemoinei with Saundersit, and this is called G. nanceianus, Hort.
