MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 157 



was a specimen of Cattleya Aclandiae, which was superior in size and colouring 

 to the published figure. The plant is not more than three or four inches high, 

 and the flowers are large and solitary, the sepals and petals being agreeably 

 mottled, and the lip of a deep pinkish-purple. It was sent from Mr. Pascoe, 

 gardener to the Earl of Falmouth, and unfortunately the flower was slightly 

 faded. The other flowers worth mentioning are some collections of cut blossoms, 

 which were well arranged, but contained nothing novel ; a stand of handsome 

 German Stocks, from Mr. Wilmer, of Sudbury ; some cut Roses, exhaling a 

 delicious odour, from Messrs. Lane, of Berkhampstead ; and some Seedling 

 Heartsease, of which one was very large, and approaching to black, came from 

 Mr. Sdvcrlock, Chichester ; and there were three from Messrs. Brown, of Slough. 

 Among the Tulips from Mr. Wilmer many of the flowers were exceedingly fine, 

 the cups large, ground-colour pure, and the markings fine. Among others we 

 noticed excellent specimens of Rubens, Franciscus Primus, Imperatrice de Maroc , 

 Rose Bianca, Quarto, Triomphe Royal, Mason's Matilda, Ponceau ties blanc, 

 and two Roses unnamed broken by Mr. Wilmer — Weltzie's Monarch, Char- 

 bonnier, and the finest Gloria Mundi we ever saw.
