May 5, 1860. The Earl of Stamford and Warrington, 

 F.H.S., sent a young plant in flower of Khododendron Edg- 

 worthii It was stated to be a hybrid between R. Gibsonii and 

 R. Edgworthii ; but its habit and general appearance quite re- 

 sembled the latter : the flowers — of which there were 5 in a truss 

 —were of the full size of those of this species, and in consequence 



being rather more than three inches across, of a creamy-white, 

 slightly tinged on the outside with pale rose ; they were stated to 

 be sweet scented, but at the time I examined them (about mid- 

 day), I could not discover that they were so. 



Along with the above were three flowers of EJiododendron 

 Nuttalii — one of the largest flowering kinds that has yet been 

 introduced. In this instance, the tube of each was nearly five 

 inches deep, and the limb rather more than five inches across, of 

 a rich cream colour and exceedingly handsome. — W. B. B. 



[The flowers of the plant above referred to, were in the evening 

 of the same day, deliciously fragrant, having a rich aromatic odour. 

 It appeared to be a genuine B.. Edgworthii, not at all affected by 

 the cross.— T. M.]
