EEPOET ON ANNUALS. 89 



floAvers ^vere produced only at the lips of the stems, and with 

 their buds formed a kind of corymb there ; they were also quite 

 late, the plants being only very partially in bloom by the begin- 

 ning of October. Though large and of a good yellow, they were 

 not at all attractive, the obcordate petals not being broad 

 enough to meet at their edges. The calyx-tube, as in (E, Lamar- 

 Man a, ^Yas very much elongated. Both this and the preceding 

 are closely allied to (E, biennis^ and perhaps mere forms of it. 



Perilla ocymoides . ' , , ' . . Carter & Co. 



A useless plant so far as regards ornamental gardening. . It grew 

 about 3 feet high, erect, and erectly branched, the stems clothed 

 with coarse green ovate salvia-like foliage. 



Phlox Drinnmondii Magenta . . . Carter & Co. 



One of the bright rose-coloured varieties, selected from this 

 sportive species, the flowers in this case not being striped as in 

 RadowitsJcii, but having the eye darker coloured. It was a rich 

 coloured highly decorative plant. 



Phlox Drummondii Kadowitskii . . Carter & Co. 



Stn: Phlox Drummondii striata nana . Haage. 



A very pleasing and desirable variety of annual Phlox, having 

 bright rose-coloured flowers with a streaked or radiating white 

 eye. It is reproduced from seed with tolerable constancy, the 

 variation in colour and marking of the flowers in the different 

 plants being very slight. This may be strongly recommended 

 for any of the purposes iovi\i\c^]x Phlox Drummondii is applicable. 



Salpiglossis coccinea . . . • . Wrench. 



The season proved favourable to this plant, which bloomed finely, 

 affording a considerable variety of reddish-tinted flowers for a 

 long period. This and the allied forms of Salpiglossis are not 

 seen so much in cultivation as they deserve to be. 



Senecio elegans cupreata plena , . . Haage. 

 Senecio elegans nana ccerulea . . . Thompson. 



SvN : Senecio elegans nana ccerulea plena . Haage. 



Dull coloured and very inferior varieties of the annual Jacobrea ; 

 the first having dull reddish, the second dull lilac, flower-beads. 



Tropaeolum majus, Tom Thnmb scarlet . Carter & Co. 

 Tropgeolnm majus, Tom Tlmmb yellow . Carter & Co. 



These proved to be true, and very desirable annuals of dwarf
