the country becomes more opened up, we shall have other and 
perhaps more beautiful species added to those mentioned. 
Mr. JAMES FRASER exhibited specimens of two casual 
grasses recently found by him at Leith, both new records 
for Britain, viz.: Hordeum chilense, Brongn. (H. secalinum, 
var. chilense, Desv.), a native of South America, a continent 
from which we get very few alien plants; and a young 
Phleum which Professor Hackel thinks is probably a young 
form of Phleum exaratum, Hochst., a native of Asia Minor 
and very closely allied to P. gracum, Boiss. and Heldr. 
Mr. k. L. Harrow showed the following plants in flower 
from the Royal Botanic Garden :—Acacia Balfouriana, Aloe 
cuaris, Bulbophyllum comosum, Clematis grewiceflora, Clero- 
dendron splendens, Coleus thyrsoideus, Cyphomandra betacea, 
Dedalacanthus nervosus, Lycaste Skinnert, var. alba, LL. 
Skinneri, var. rubella, Veltheimia glauca.
