Awards. Knightian Medal : To Messrs. Henderson, of Pine- 

 apple Place, for Pleroma elegans, an exceedingly hand- 

 some, cool Greenhouse plant. In this instance it was 

 clothed with large, round, bright violet blossoms, which, 

 unlike those of most Melastomads, remain a long time in 

 beauty ; also for the pretty New Holland shrub Babingtonia 

 Camphorosmae ; a new orange scarlet flowered Begonia, 

 from Bolivia, called cinnabarina, one of the handsomest of 

 all Begonias ; and the larger variety of Nerine Fother- 

 gillii, a plant nearly related to the Guernsey Lily, and for 

 wliich the Guernsey people would do well to substitute it, 

 for it is much more beautiful than the Guernsey Lily, and 

 would succeed under the same kind of treatment. 



Banksian Medal: To Mr. Leach, gardener to S. Eucker, 

 Esq., F.H.S., for a well-flowered Statice imbricata, and for 

 a nice plant of Erica Irbyana, grown in a small pot and in 

 an easy, graceful manner, almost without stakes. To Mr. 

 Mackay, gardener to C. Leach, Esq., of King's Eoad, 

 Clapham Park, for beautifully flowered plants of Bruns- 

 vigia Josephinse, together with Amaryllis blanda, and two 

 species of Haemanthus. An account of the manner in which 

 these were cultivated will be found in another page. To 

 Mr. Plant, gardener to J. H. Schroder, Esq., F.H.S., for a 

 nice specimen of Miltonia Candida, and for two plants of 

 ^schynanthus Lobbianus in wire baskets, in which they 

 appear to better advantage than in pots. To Mr. Bundy, 

 gardener to Lord Dynevor, Dynevor Castle, Llandillo, for 

 a fruit of the Bromham Hall Melon, weighing 2 lbs. 4 oz. 

 This is a netted, round, medium-sized, green-fleshed Melon 

 of the very best flavour, for which it received the first prize 

 at the last exhibition in the Garden of the Society in July, 

 . 1849.
