gardener to T. J. Lenox, Esq., Stanfordbrook Lodge, Hammer- 

 smith. A vigorous-growing yellow-edged variety, the leaves 

 being broad and flat, the centre a somewhat marbled green, with 

 a broad distinct edge of yellow. It was thought to be a promising 

 variety, but was hardly enough advanced in growth. 



Erica prestoniensis :— from Mr. Frost, gardener to E. L. 

 Betts, Esq., Preston Hall, near Maidstone. This variety had 

 been raised from Hartnelli, crossed with arlstata major ; it had 

 a much ventricose bright varnished brick-red tube, and dark 

 crimson contracted mouth, with moderate-sized white limb seg- 

 ments. Though a fine plant, as are all heaths of this group, 

 it was not thought to equal some of those already known. 



Cattleya Mossiae, var. Candida : — from E. Warnee, Esq., 

 Broomfield. This was a handsome white-petaled variety of 

 (7. MossicB, and appeared to be the same as that figured from 

 Syon House some years since, under the name of Candida. It 

 was, however, stated to be of freer habit.
