One of them shot up the plant in the ordinary course of 

 seed sprouting, but the other produced its beautiful flower di- 

 rectly from the body of the seed. Whether this "sport" was 

 produced by the stimulus of fungus growth, or from injury by 

 insects is uncertain. The seed, when planted, appeared normal. 



We are pleased to announce that Mr. Benton, one of the 



Directors of this Academy, has been elected a Fellow of the
