I should add that young plants grown from seed (Forrest, 

 No. 11,042), the gift of J. C. Williams, Esq., Caerhays 

 Castle, Cornwall, are now in tlie Royal Botanic Garden. 

 If, liowever, the rate of growth corresponds to that of 

 LiguHtrum (xn'iaceum, Carr. (which in habit it so closely 

 resembles), it will be some considerable time before it 

 reaches the flowering stage.
