260 EEPOETS OF THE FLORAL COMMITTEE, 



A very pretty variety, of the ordinary stature, in which the 

 flowers were white, streaked and flaked with rosy-purple in a very 

 elegant manner. Though exceedingly pretty, and likely to 

 become a favourite with many persons, it was not thought suffi- 

 ciently effective to be generally recommended. 



Eucharidiuin grandiflomm, var. album : — from Messrs. 

 Cartek & Co. A neat dwarf-growing blush-white variety, which 

 may probably be useful where light colours are in request. It 

 was however hardly enough advanced. 



Eucharidium grandiflorum, var. rosetun : — from Messrs. 

 Carter & Co. A blush-coloured variety, apparently rather 

 larger than the foregoing, but more flushed with rose-colour. 



Convolvulus trioolor, var. monstrosus, and var. subcoeruleus : 

 —from Messrs. Carter & Co. Two forms of Convolvulus 

 minor, the first very robust, with large and exceedingly rich 

 deep purple flowers, but coarse in habit ; the latter a very pale 

 blue. 



lupinus nanus, var. eoelestinus : — from Messrs. Carter & 



& Co, A variety with the flowers of a dingy blush. 



Dunnett's extra Purple Candytuft :— from Mr. Duxvuett, 

 Dedham. This was a very fine variety of Candytuft, with 

 flowers of the richest deep rosy-purple. The colour was greatly 

 admired ; but as it was stated that the same kind had been 

 already brought into commerce, no award could be made to it. 



CoUinsia bieolor, var. marginata :— from Mr. Melville, 

 gardener to the Earl of Roseberrt, Dalmeney Park, Edin^ 

 burgh. This was a slight variety in which the coloured lobes of 

 the lower lip were bordered with white on the inner side. 

 Mr. Melv[lle also sent another inferior variety, called " New 

 Blush," in which the flowers were of a blush-white. 



Iffilia xanthina :~from Messrs Jackson & Son, Kingston. 

 A neat but not very showy orchid, from Rio Janeiro. It has 

 pale yellow flowers, with a whitish lip streaked with red. 



Caladium Wightii -.—from Messrs. Veitch & Son. This bad 

 been already adjudicated upon, and is noticed at p. 244. It is a 

 handsome and effective kind. 



SeuteUaria lindeniana :— from Messrs. Veitch & Son. An 

 erect-growing suffruticose stove-plant, with oblong elliptic acumi- 

 nate leaves, narrowed but somewhat cordate at the base, and 

 obscurely sinuate toothed ; the flowers, which grow in short
