 already described. 



Pelargoxium SorvEXiR i>E WiLHELMA {V Illitst. Hovt.y t. 529). — 

 A large rough tlower of very ungainly form, the top petals marked with 

 a large rayed blotch of purple, the lower petals with small purplish spots on a rosy 

 blush ground. It is described as flowering freely at all seasons, and if adapted for 

 forcing, will be useful, as, in spite of its poor form, it is a pleasing variety. 



RnoDODEXDKON GRXATissiMUM {V Illust. HoH., t. 530). — A fine garden hybrid, 

 the flowers in large trusses expanding fully, the petals edged with lilac, top petals 

 spotted orange brown, throat nearly white ; a very beautiful variety for the Ame- 

 rican garden or for forcing. 



Dkac-ena Mookei, syn. Caxodbacox termixalis var. Moorei ; syn. Dixacm^^a. 

 TEKMixALis QUOEUMDAM {V lUust. HoH.^ t. 532). — Liliacese. This is a variety of 

 the well- knov/n Z);'ac<^H(2 ^er;7^^»(2/^5. It is cliaracterized by an upright habit, the 

 leaf stems are of a briiliunt purplish red colour, and the leaves a rich purplish, 

 bronze.

 ing variety, the flowers have rather pointed petals, the prevailing colour is a soft

 pleasing flower. 



liiLiiM Leichtlixii, Max LeicMlirCs Lily {Bot. Mag., t. 5673). — LiliaccEe. 

 A beautiful lily, received by Messrs. Yeitch and Sons from Japan, along with bulbs 

 of L. auratunu The flower resembles iiyrinum in form, but differs in colour, and 

 the plant dift'ers in having a more graceful habit and scattered leaves. The stem 

 rises two to three feet high, the leaves are alternate, linear lanceolate, and recurved, 

 pale bright green. Flowers solitary in specimens hitherto flowered, four inches in 

 diameter, pale golden yellow, spotted with small oblong patches of clear red purple 

 or maroon-brown, anthers yellowish brown or purplish. An interesting and beau- 

 tiful addition to a charming family. 



CcELoavxE Hi'MiLis, Dwarf £leione {Bot. Mag., t. 5674). — Orchidacese. A 

 pretty little plant, met with in Nepaul and Bhotan, at an elevation of seven to eight 

 thousand feet. The pseudo-bulbs are bottle-shaped, the flowers occur singly, they 

 are white, tinged with ruse, the inner part of the lip being richly painted with 

 crimson. 



Begoxia Claekei, Major Trevor Clarices Begonia {Bot. Mag., t. 5675). — 

 Begoniaceae. This differs from the beautiful B. Veitchii in being a caulescent 

 branched plant, with larger, deep rose-colourtd flowers. 



Cymbidium Huttoxi, Mr. Huttons CymUditim {Bot. Mag., t. 5676). — 

 — Orcliidacese. This differs greatly from the best known species of the geuus to 

 which it is referred. It is a native of Java, from whence it was obtained by Messrs. 

 Veitch and Son. The pseudo-bulbs are elongate, the leaves in pairs, the flowers in 

 a ten (or more) flowered raceme, the prevailing colours rich brown and olive green. 



Calceolaria pisacomexsis, Orange Red Calceolaria {Bot. Mag., t. 5677). — 

 Scrophularineie. This is one of the handsomest calceolarias that has been intro- 

 duced for many years ; too large, perhaps, to be considered at present as a bed- 

 ding plant, it must nevertheless be regarded as a grand acquisition for the flower 

 garden. The plant is tall and stout, the leaves one to two inches long, ovate-coi'date, 

 the cymes very numerous and many-flowered, the flowers somewhat papilionaceous 

 in appearance, the colour rich orange, passing into orange red. 



Dexdrobium BE.NSONiiE, Mrs. Benson's Dendrobe {Bot. Mag., t. 5679). — 

 Orchidacea?. A beautiful plant, most closely allied to D. nodatum. The flowers 

 are two inches in diameter, snow v/hite except the lip, which has bro.id, deep golden 

 yellow disks ; two purple spots near the base. 



Saccolabium Huttoxi, Mr. Sutton's Saccolahium {Bot. Mag,., t. 5681). — 

 Orchidaceas. A very distinct and fine species, jroducing grand spikes of flowers of 

 a rich rosy purple coloar.
