A SMALL box of plants has been received from Mr. Weir, con- 

 sisting of Seeds, Koots, and Tubers, which have arrived in 

 tolerably fair condition. Some of them were dead; but what 



In his letter (dated Eio de Janeiro, July 8, 1861) announcing 

 the consignment, Mr. Weik says : — 



" By the packet leaving here to-morrow I send a box containing 

 a few plants collected since I last wrote you. The plants consist 

 chiefly of Cattleyas ; but there are also a few fine-foliaged things. 

 Some of them are perhaps in cultivation already ; but I send 

 them by way of experiment, in order to learn whether such things 

 will go home packed in close boxes, the more especially as such 

 things almost always grow in the thickest parts of the forest, 

 where they rarely flower, and still more rarely perfect seeds. 

 Others of the plants are not in cultivation, so far as I am aware, 

 particularly No, 13, which is a very beautiful plant when growing.
