 ]. 10., add : " In the nursery of M. Roy, at Angers, are 18 varieties, part 

 of which do not appear to be in British gardens, and some of which, 

 M. Roy informs us, are very much hardier than the species. (See 

 Gard. Mag., xiii. p. 21.) The Hon. and Rev. W. Herbert thinks it 

 probable that some beautiful and hardy varieties may be raised by 

 fertilising the seed of M. grandiflora with the pollen of M. tripetala and 

 M. conspicua."

 at Apalachicola. (See ComjJ to Bot. Mag., i. p. 46.)"

 hybrids between it and the more delicate Chinese species." 



272. 1. 12. after full stop, add : "It ripened seeds at Desio, near Milan, in 1835; 

 and 1.50 young plants were raised from it in the spring of 1836; among 

 which were some, from seed which had been fecundated with the 

 pollen of M. conspicua and M. purpurea." 



M. purpurea. 282., to the paragraph headed " Varieties,'' add : " A curious 

 variety of this species has been raised at Desio, near Milan, by Signer
