200 KEPOETS OF THE FLORAL COMMITTEE, 



flat leaves having a green slightly variegated centre, a distinct 

 exterior zone of light orange-colour, which becomes brownish 

 where the green breaks through in irregular points, and a yellow 

 edge. Similar to this in general character, and perhaps still 

 more effective, was Aurantia coccinea, in which the zone was of a 

 deeper orange-red and well defined ; while in Golden Vase and 

 Aurantia rubra, the zone was fainter in colour. The ttueen's 

 Favourite was another new kind, distinct from the foregoing ; 

 its leaves were flattish, and had a straw-coloured edge, and a well 

 defined zone of cerise-red exterior to the green centre which 

 breaks through irregularly as in the other case. Resembling this, 

 were — Picturata, with a well defined zone, and a marbled centre ; 

 and Tricolor, Fontainbleau, and Hotel de Cluny, slightly 

 varying in the character of their markings : of the two latter, how- 

 ever, the last had the flowers bright scarlet, and the other deep 

 rose-pink. Silver Chain had the leaves very convex, with a green 

 marbled centre, and a creamy-white edge. In Amy Bohsart, 

 one of the dark horse-shoe kinds, the zone was well defined, dark 

 brown in the older leaves, and light reddish- brown in the younger 

 ones, the centre being of a yellow-green, marked with darker 

 streaks, the margin of moderate width and dark green. Baron 

 Ht^el, and Henry de Beaudot, were horse-shoe varieties of 

 coarser habit, the latter having rose-pink flowers, becorning paler 



Messrs. Henderson & Son also exhibited two pretty dwarf 

 bulbous plants — Triteleia uniflora, with sweet-scented white 

 flowers, and Milla uniflora, with similar flowers of a pale lilac ; 

 together with Erythronium americanum, and Bomarea Salsilla, 

 the former with yellow, the latter with rose-coloured flowers, 



-from Mr. S. Triggs, of Islington. 

 A dark purple self, too small as exhibited. 



Pelargonium Judd's Bose Unique :— from Mr. D. Judd, gar- 

 dener to the Rt. Hon. Earl Spencer, Althorp Park, Northamp- 

 tonshire. This was one of the hybrid bedding class, and had been 

 raised between Unique and an old cut-leaved sort, called Bagshot 

 Park Seedling. The flowers were of a lively pinkish-rose, but 

 had fallen to pieces ; cut blooms only were sent. It was stated 

 to be a free-blooming and attractive plant, but no opinion could 

 be formed on the specimens exhibited, 



Camelliamarginata:— From Mr. Hally. This was sent as 

 a good late-flowering seedling ; the flowers were moderate-sized,
