are, in most cases, inconspicuous, except those of the section 
Notonia. KK. neriifolia was introduced from Mr. W. Wilson 
Saunders’s collection in April, 1869. It is quite at home now at 
La Mortola, germinates all over the garden, and, if left alone, 
would soon become subspontaneous, although it occasionally 
suffers through frost. It loses its leaves during summer. K. An- 
teuphorbium was introduced from Kew in July, 1868. 4. odora 
came from Villa Thuret in November, 1869. K. tomentosa was 
procured from Mr. Cooper, of Reigate, in July, 1868 ; it is a very 
shy bloomer. 
KNIPHOFIA. 
Better known in gardens as Tritoma, partly succeed quite well. 
K. primulina flowers at the end of the year. We are indebted for 
this species to the Jate Mr. Gumbleton, and for the tall K. Northie 
to Messrs. Beamish and Dorrien-Smith. 
LABURNOCYTISUS. 
LL. Adami is one of the classical examples of graft-hybrids, hav- 
ing been raised, in 1826, by Adam, of Paris, by grafting Cytisus 
purpureus on Laburnum anagyroides. The tree has three kinds 
of branches: some bearing foliage and flowers of Laburnum; 
others those of Cytisus purpureus; and yet others representing 
intermediate stages between the two. Our plants were received 
in the spring of 1911 from Messrs. Pennick & Co., near Dublin.* 
LA&LIA. 
L. anceps grows very well epiphytically on a tree, without 
any shelter. 
LAGERSTR@MIA. 
L. indica, a most beautiful shrub, does not succeed here. It 
grows, however, perfectly well in the garden of the Convent of 
San Dalmazzo di Tenda, in the Roja valley. JL. speciosa has also 
been tried in vain. 
LAGETTA LINTEARIA. 
The famous “‘ Lace Tree” of Jamaica; only succeeds under glass. 
LAGUNARIA PATERSONI. 
We have now two fine trees of this beautiful Malvacea. They 
were grown from seeds introduced by Mr. D. Hanbury in June, 
1872, and correspond with the description of the Norfolk Island 
plant given by Bentham (fl. Austr. i. 218), the leaves being very 
white underneath. The largest specimen is now 13:10 m. high, 
with a stem of 87 cm. circumference. 
LAPAGERIA ROSEA. 
Has been tried repeatedly, so far without success.
