upper petals are of magenta, with dark blotch and very narrow 

 yellow lacmg. Hugh Jdair (Fig. 4) is a white ground flower, 

 of exceeding purity and beauty, perfect in shape, and having a 

 large blotch on each of the lower petals, of a dark mauve co- 

 lour, the edges of the blotch being regularly vandyked ; the 

 upper petals are bright magenta, shaded and veined with a 

 dark tint of the same colour, and with a yellow eye. These 

 are all from the collection of Messrs. Downie, Laird, and Laing, 

 and bear witness to the great success which has attended their 

 efforts.
