J. C. Williams, in wliose fine garden at Caerliays Castle, Gorrau, 

 Cornwall, a plant flowered in April, 1914. 



The Mexican Finguicula lias ratlier showy purple flowers, and' 

 IS pnrticularij interesting owing to the Tariahility of its leaves. 

 As IS usuid m the genus these are in a basal rosette. At the time- 

 of flowering they are linear, two inches or so in length, and are- 

 widened at the base. After the flowering season the long leaves, 

 gradually die off centripetally, and at the croAvii a compact rosette,, 

 about j inch across, resembling those of some species of Semper- 

 invum, develops and entirely replaces the rosette of long leaves. 

 Ihe small rosettes persist through the winter and are succeeded' 

 m the same manner by the rosettes of long leaves. This Pinquicvla 

 was discovered by DrPurpus in 1910, growing on wet gypsum 

 rocks at Mmas de San Rafael, in the State%f San Luis Potosi and! 

 tlie Kew plant was obtained by purchase in 1912 from Mr. U. 

 braessner, of Perleberg.
