in the Bulletin was published, the specimen of C.-m, Dardarit in 
the Kew collection carried a branch of pure medlar and one of 
C-m. D’ Asnieresii; but no branch of true hawthorn, the other 
parent, had appeared, nor has it done so up to the present. Mr. 
Vicary Gibbs, oo on RY. Si 7th. sik was kind enough to 
flowering spray dathertd from C.-m. Daan. This spray is 
Crataegus monogyna—the form with hairy flower stalks, greta 
and receptacle distinguished by Beck as var. laniyera. Mr. Gib 
observes that the flowers, borne on a shoot 3 feet long, were tally 
open on May 27th., whilst the rest of the tree had only unopened 
buds of the white, medlar-like blossoms characteristic of C.-m. 
Dardari. A shoot of true medlar has since been found on the tree. 
Thus this graft eon shows a phenomenon, unique so far as we 
are aware, of one kind of tree (not as yet, however, one | 
inidividual) producing ee types of growth, two of whic th a ar 
distinct species and two of a hybrid or intermediate nature. They 
may be tabulated as follows:

2. Mespilus germanica J parent species.

R endron Wigh a Sikkim species with large broadly 
eaaetats | leaves, hae are nlenely covered on the under side with a 
cinnamon-brown tomentum, and loose heads of straw-yellow flowers 
spotted with deep red. The material for the figure was obtained 
rom a plant which flowered in the Himalayan House at Kew in 
April 1911, This plant was raised from a graft procured from a fine 
specimen which is growing outside in the garden of Miss A. Mangles 
at Littleworth. 
e Deutzia is an attractive free-flowering species from Western 
China, whence it was originally introduced into cultivation by Messrs. 
J. Veitch & Sons in 1902, and has been distributed under the name 
of D. Veitchiit, Itisa hardy shrub 3-7 ft. high, with lanceolate 
serrulate shortly petiolate leaves, and compact inflorescences of more 
or less rose-coloured flowers nearly an inch across. The figure was 
spe ser from material obtained from one of the plants grown at 
from ser received from Professor Sargent of the Arnold 
Arboretum in 1908, 
Strongylodon pseudolucidus is a new leguminous climber for the 
warm conservatory, and is distingtiaal from S. lucidus, Seem., by 
its much larger = and bracteoles and smaller flowers, which: are 
red and about an hiong. It is a littoral species found in Ceylon, 
the Andaman Tala Christmas Island, New Guinea, New Caledonia
