F. Raddeana (Dr. Radde’s). /l. greenish-yellow, shorter than 
the pedicels. /., floral ones recurved-spreading. Habit rather

F. Sewerzowi bicolor (two-coloured). jl. light olive-green, 
having a brownish, V-shaped mark at the base of each segment. 
Alatau, 1885. A remarkable variety. (G. C. ser. iii., vol. i,

FUCHSIA. To the species and varieties described on 
pp. 31-5, Vol. II., the following should now be added: 
F. ampliata (ample). //. scarlet, solitary, or two or three together 
in axillary clusters; calyx lobes ovate-lanceolate, acuminate ; 
petals shorter than the calyx lobes, obtusely quadrangular, 
June. J. 2in. to 3in. long, usually drooping and ternately whorled, 
elliptic-oblong, acute at both ends, denticulate, glabrous, some- 
times pubescent beneath ; petioles Sin. to din. long. Stem often 
decumbent below. h. 3ft. to 5ft. Andes of Ecuador, 1877. 
(B. M. 6839.) 
Varieties. The Fuchsia is one of the best-known green- 
house and conservatory flowering plants, and it is also the 
most graceful of bedding-out plants. Handsome, tall 
specimens, trained to centre stems, and placed in the centre 
of beds in the geometrical flower garden, have an excellent 
effect. So many splendid varieties have been raised that 
it is difficult to further improve them. The varieties with 
single corollas are the handsomest; indeed, some of the 
double forms are most inelegant, and may be classed as 
floral abortions. They may for convenience be divided 
into classes thus: 
Single-flowered. Varieties with White Tube and Sepals, and 
Red and Pink Corolla. BEAUTY OF LAVINGTON; EMILY 
BriGHt, a well-formed variety; EXCELSIOR, creamy tube 
and sepals; EYNSFORD GEM, corojla purplish-rose, petals neatly 
reflexed ; LUSTRE IMPROVED, corolla orange-scarlet, a richer- 
coloured form of LusTRE; LYk’S PERFECTION; MIZPAH, 
corolla distinct purplish-crimson; Mr. F. Brigur; Mrs. PF. 
GLASs. 
Varieties with Red and Scarlet Tube and Sepals, and Purplish, 
Bluish, or Mauve Corolla. AMIE, sepals crimson, unusually long, 
corolla dark purple; DR. SANKEY, corolla and tube nearly the 
same colour, rich reddish-crimson ; ELEGANCE, sepals crimson, 
twisted like a ram’s horn, corolla purple; KING OF THE FUCHSIAS, 
a very useful decorative variety, with crimson sepals and purplish 
corolla ; SALOPIA, sepals crimson, corolla pale purple, widely 
opened ; SWANLEY GEM, tube and sepals scarlet, corolla purplish- 
rose. 
Double-flowered. BERLINER KIND, tube and sepals coral-red, 
corolla pure white, very double; BOREATTON, tube and sepals

CULE, corolla faintly striped deep red ; ELIZABETH MARSHALL, 
tube and sepals scarlet, corolla white, free- flowering; FRAU

double; MADAME JULES CHRETIEN, tube and sepals scarlet, 
corolla white.

clusters of three or four; scape 10ft. to 12ft. high, paniculate 
above, the unbranched part clothed with long, sheathing bracts.

glumes many ; hypogynous bristles none ; stamens three to 
Gahnia— continued. 
six; panicle ample and loose or narrow and spike-like. 
Nut reddish-fuscous, whitish, or black, ovoid, obovoid, or 
sub-fusiform. Leaves usually long, terete, with a long, 
subulate acumen. It is doubtful whether the plant here 
described is the true G. aspera. For culture, see Cyperus, 
on p. 422, Vol. I. 
G. aspera (rough). jl., spikelets whitish-yellow ; inflorescence 
terminal. jr. reddish-yellow. Jl. bright green, channelled, wavy,

GALANTHUS. The species are confined to Europe 
and Western Asia. To the species and varieties described 
on p. 41, Vol. II., the following should now be added:

white, broader, more convex on the back, and with a narrower 
claw, than in the genuine G. nivalis, jin. to lin, long, the inner 
ones obovate-cuneate, with a deep notch and two erect, rounded 
lobes, only marked green outside in a horse-shoe patch round 
the notch, but within streaked with green and white more than

autumn to dull rose, ciliated on the margins. Stems wiry, sub- 
prostrate. Himalayas, 1884 An ornamental, hardy evergreen, 
suitable for baskets. (G. C. n. s., xxii., p. 457.) 
GAZANIOPSIS (from Gazania, and opsis, like; in 
allusion to the resemblance to Gazania). ORD. Composite. 
A monotypic genus, nearly allied to Gazania and Gorteria. 
It thrives in any well-drained garden soil, and may be 
increased by seeds, or by cuttings, inserted under a bell 
glass, in a cold frame.

leafless stalks ; ray florets bronzy-green in the centre externally,
