REGENT'S PARK AND ClilSWlCK EXHIBITIONS. 



The last Exhibitions for the season of these Societies took place 

 respectively on the 2d and 19th ult. The meeting at "the Park" 

 claims our attention first. It was favoured with a fine day and a 

 large attendance, and the display of flowering plants was, on the 

 whole, magnificent. The Pelargoniums, though not so fine as in 

 June, were supplied in great abundance, as were also stove and 

 greenhouse plants. Cape Heaths, and Orchids. 



New plants consisted of a Bejaria from Mr. Ivison ; Gloxinia 

 ccerulea grandifiora from Messrs. Veitch ; a Blandfordia from Mr. 

 Barnes; a hybrid Statice in the way of Macrophylla from Mr. Scott; 

 Achimenes longiflora alba and a white Escholtzia from Messrs. Hen- 

 derson ; and Nepenthes javanica from Messrs. RoUisson. 



Messrs. Standish and Noble of Bagshot exhibited the following 

 rare hardy plants : Ilex microphylla, an Ilex something in the way 

 of cornuta ; Berberis japonica, a dwarf variety of Cryptomeria japo- 

 nica ; Quercus inversa, Q. sclerophylla, the funereal Cypress, 6 feet 

 high ; Ilex cornuta, Libocedrus chilensis, Cephalotaxus Fortuni, Abies 

 Jezoensis, an unnamed Ilex, and Berberis Bealii.
