C. H. Wright, Zaluziamkya maritime/, "Walp., and Bulbophyllum 

 galb'unim, Ridl. The Rhododendron is a new variety which was 

 discovered in the mountains of north-east Manipur by Sir George 

 Watt, who sent seeds to Kew in 1882. Like the type the variety 

 has large white flowers, but it differs from it in its obtuse leaves 

 and longer calyx-segments. Robinia Kelseyi is an attractive 

 plant with rose-coloured flowers and pods which are conspicuous 

 on account of their dense covering of long reddish gland-tipped 

 hairs. The Kew plants were purchased from Mr. H. P. Kelsey, of 

 Boston, Mass., in 1903. The Agave, which is probably Central 

 American, was described for the first time in the Kew Bulletin 

 tor 1907, p. 322. The plant was purchased in 1906 from Mr. 

 Justus Corderoy, Blewbury, Didcot, who obtained it originally 

 from the Ghiesbreght Collection. At Kew it has produced neither 

 seeds nor offsets. Zaluziamkya is a genus of showy-flowered 

 Scrophulariaceous plants of 32 species, all of which are South 

 uncan. The flowers which usually expand at night and are 

 often fragrant have a long slender tube and a spreading limb, 

 inis in &. manhma is half an inch to three-quarters of an inch 

 across, red or purple brown outside and white inside. The 

 drawing was made from a specimen sent to Kew by Mr. W. E. 

 ixiimbieton who also presented seeds to the gardens, which 

 he obtained from Mr. Thorncroft of Barberton, Transvaal. The 

 Key plants died after flowering. Bidhophyllum galbinum, a 

 native ot the Malay Peninsula, resembles B. Reinwardtii, Reichb.
