The following communications were read ;— 
1. Mires anp AcaRopoMATIA. By Professor G. F. Scort- 
Exxiot, M.A., B.Se., F.L.S. (See p. 126.) 
2. Some Hyprip Roses (with exhibition of specimens). 
By Mr. James R. Matruews. (See p. 135.) 
Mr. JAMES FRASER showed specimens of Centawriwm 
pulchellum, Druce, from Orchardton Bay, and Limoniwm 
humile, Mill., from Auchencairn Bay, Kirkeudbrightshire, 
thus extending the known range of these species in that 
country. 
Mr. M‘TaGGart Cowav, jun., showed specimens of Ozalis 
acetosella, Linn., var. subpurpurascens, D.C., from Mid- 
lothian (v.c. 83), a new county record. 
Mr. RUTHERFORD HILt exhibited an interesting specimen 
showing a remarkable flattening or fasciation of the stem 
and branches in the common wallflower, Cheiranthus 
Cheiri, Linn., from the garden of Mr. Fergus F. Stewart, 
pharmacist, Lasswade. The wallflower as cultivated in 
gardens is usually a biennial, but the specimen showed an un- 
usually shrubby character, resembling a small bush. Fully 
eight years ago it had been placed with a little garden soil 
in a cleft of the garden wall, six inches deep, and about 
three inches in breadth at the orifice (to give it an oppor- 
tunity of living up to its reputation of being a wallflower). 
The place was sheltered, but the plant had only a very 
slight foothold, and had no attention beyond a small share 
of manure during garden operations in the springtime. 
For two successive seasons the plant flowered, but for the 
last six years it has only been putting on fresh leaves, 
somewhat smaller and more pointed than usual, and the 
plant still continues to grow a little. The portion exhibited 
showed one remarkably fasciated branch, forming a flat 
expansion about five or six inches broad. 
Mr. R. L. Harrow showed the following plants in 
flower from the Royal Botanic Garden:—Dendrobiwm 
elongatum, Dioscorea vittata, Hippeastrum reticulatwm,
