Another new Godetia, also an annual, and from the same 

 parcel of seeds as the last. It has larger flowers than any 

 other I have seen, and forms as handsome a bush as G. Lind- 

 leyana, only it wants the deep red blotches of that species. 

 It is quite distinct from both Lindleyana, vinosa, and rubi- 

 cunda, and approaches most nearly to G. roseo-alba. Both 

 this and the last have been raised in the Garden of the 

 Horticultural Societv.
