seeds of it to Kew in 1897. Plants raised from these seeds have 
now reached a height of from 10 to 15 feet. The species has long 
leaves in tufts of 5 and resembles in general aspect the Bhutan Pine 
(P. excelsa, Wall.), but its cones are very different. Neoglaziovia 
is a small Brazilian genus of Bromeliaceae nearly allied to Dychia, 
N. concolor is a new species the leaves of which, like those of the 
only other species, N. variegata, Mez, furnish a strong fibre. 
Living plants of both species were received from the Imperial 
Institute in 1903, and from one of these, which flowered for the 
first time at Kew in 1909, the material for the figure was obtained. 
It is distinguished from WN. variegata by its white lepidote leaves. 
The Corylopsis is a new species differing from C. sinensis, Hemsl., 
in having the mature leaves quite glabrous, the stamens distinctly 
exserted, and red-brown instead of yellow anthers; and from 
Sallier of Neuilly-sur-Seine. The specimen figured was com-

hope, as regards the soil, has been realised owing to the kindness of 
apt. Cordeaux, and Kew is very greatly indebted both to him and to

Capt. Cordeaux in sending two samples of soil informs us that 
oe was taken from the surface round the bush, and another from 
the roots underground ; the surface soil appears to be mainly fine
