164 GRAND FLORAL EXHIBITIONS 



There were also fine plants of ericifolia aud pungens. Gompholo- 

 biam tenellum, Pimelea Hendersoni, Leschenaultia formosa, and 

 Clerodendrum splendens were remarkably good specimens; theGom- 

 pholobium was about 3 feet in height and 2 feet in diameter, but not 

 in full bloom; Pimelea Hendersoni was 18 inches in height and 

 2 feet in diameter, in fine bloom ; and the Leschenaultia was of 

 about the same size, trained hemispherically, and one complete sheet 

 of flowers. Of Cape Heaths we noted the following: Tuunbergia, 

 a yard in height, and as much in diameter ; intermedia, very large, 

 and in excellent bloom ; Hartnelli, a fine plant; Daphnaeflora, beau- 

 tiful; fastigiata lutescens, admirable, but smaller ; odora rosea, good ; 

 prsegnans coccinea minor, in a fine state; and lovely plants of dilecta 

 and Sprengelii ; a plant of Statice macrophylla ; the rare Luxem- 

 burgia cilosa was shown for the second time since its introduction 

 into this country ; a good plant, with nearly thirty heads of bloom 

 upon it, of Ixora grandiflora; and large specimens of Azalea Indica 

 alba, splendens, Gladstanesii, and a pretty A. lateritia. Also fine 

 plants of Zichya inophylla floribunda, Polygala cordifolia, Daviesia 

 saligna, Boronia denticulate, Eriostemon cuspidatum, and Pimelea 

 decussata, very large. 



3rd Prize, 7/., Mr. Green, gardener to Sir E. Antrobus, Bart. — 

 These, though not so rich as the preceding, nevertheless enumerated 

 some capital specimens, particularly the following: In Azaleas, 

 Indica alba, 5 feet high, and clothed to the bottom ; a tall specimen 

 of the double red ; and exquisitia. In Pimeleas, the best was decus- 

 sata, about 2\ feet high and 3 feet in diameter, beautifully bloomed ; 

 rosea was a pretty compact bush. Amongst the Cape Heaths the 

 more deserving were propendens, 3 feet high, producing, as it invari- 

 ably does, a great profusion of blossoms; Beaumontiana, very pretty 

 blush ; and echiflora purpurea. Very distinct and remarkable was 

 Daviesia latifolia, 4 feet high, full of bloom ; and equally good was 

 Coleonema pulchrum ; Euthales microphylla, a mass of yellow blos- 

 soms ; Brachysema latifolia, trained and full of bloom ; Hovea Celsii, 

 also trained and very full. A well-bloomed plant of Francescia lati- 

 folia; and a moderate specimen of Siphocampylus betulifolius.
