XLVITI.—-HYBRIDS RAISED AT KEW. 
r many years past a number of hybrid plants have been 
raised at Kew, and in view of the general interest and importance 
of such work it has been considered advisable to bring together into 
as complete a record as possible the successes and failures in 
hybridization at Kew. In the following account, in order to 
facilitate reference, the hybrids have been arranged in alphabetical 
order, and in all cases the name of the female parent is placed first. 
They have been produced, as the list will show, in all the depart- 
ments of the Royal Botanic Gardens. 
Begonia Pink President Carnot (B. President Carnot x B. kewensis*). 
This hybrid, raised in 1902, first flowered in 1904, It resembles 
the female parent in habit, in that the female flowers, which are 
pink in colour, remain on the plant for some time; in addition to 
this, the male flowers, which in the mother plant do not open 
properly and drop off at an early stage, remain on the plant and 
open properly as in B. hewensis. 
Begonia (B..coccinea x B. kewensis). i 
The hybrid was raised in 1902 and flowered in 1904. Habit 
intermediate between the two parents. The flowers are dull scarlet 
isposed in slender, pendulous inflorescences, as in B. coccinea. 
See note in Gardeners’ Chronicle, 1899, xxvi., 112. 
* B. kewensis is a chance seedling or hybrid which originated at Kew about 
15 years ago. It most nearly resembles B. undulata.
