health and beauty, from Mr. Bruce; and a Cereus, called " The Lawn Seed- 

 ling," in the way of Jenkinsonii, but with paler flowers, and nearer speciosus in 

 habit. In a collection of Alpines, from Mr. Wood, nurseryman, of Norwood, we 

 observed, in addition to the plants shown at the Horticultural Society's Rooms 

 and Gardens, a nice specimen of Ramonda pyrenaica : it was unusually well 

 grown, and is a most elegant little object. The collection of Heaths from Mr. 

 Wilson, gardener to — Gilliett, Esq., Clapham Park, had in it a very excellent 

 plant of G. odorata rosea, and pretty good specimens of E. sulphurea, mirabilis, 

 Macnabiana, ampullacea, var., &c. From Mr. Hamp there were superb plants 

 of Gloxinia rubra, maxima, and caulescens, with Ipomoea Horsfallice, flowering 

 on a cylindrical trellis in a very dwarf state, and a remarkably well-cultivated 

 plant of the pretty Stylidium fasciculatum. Mr. Bruce exhibited a most noble 

 specimen of Polygala acuminata, drooping with the weight of its showy blos- 

 soms, a fine Azalea Gledstanesii, and a particularly dense and rich plant of the 

 admirable Leschenaultia formosa. Chorozema Dicksoni and Henchmanni, in a 

 pleasingly dwarf and healthy condition; Fabiana imbricata ; Chorozema ilici- 

 folia, peculiarly excellent ; Eutaxia pungens, compact, and finely flowered ; 

 Epacris cerseflora, throwing its flower-laden branches about rather tortuously 

 and elegantly ; a well-bloomed, though not very dense, Boronia serrulata, and a 

 most extraordinary and meritorious specimen of Plumbago capensis, were sent by 

 Mr. Wilson, gardener to — Gilliett, Esq., Clapham Park. Mr. Fairbairn 

 showed a neat plant of Genista canariensis, and a nearly-allied variety, which 

 has darker flowers, and is called G. Atleeana ; with charming little specimens 

 of Chorozema Henchmanni and Dicksoni. A collection of Cinerarias, from Mr. 

 Ivery, of Peckham, was brilliantly attractive, and contained most of the best 

 varieties. The exhibition of Tulips was good, as was that of Pansies. We in- 

 sert the names of the winning Tulips ; their merits will be seen by reference to 

 the prize list. Mr. Lawrence's flowers were, Aglaia, Polyphemus, Lawrence's 

 Patty, Fabius, Holmes's King, Rose, Brilliant, Captain White, Francisus primis. 

 Junius Brutus, Catalini, Madame Vestris, and Violet Imperial. Mr. Brown's, 

 which were recommended for a prize, were, Triomphe Royale, Brown's Wallace, 

 Polyphemus, Brulante eclatante, Salvator Rosa, Strong's King, Madame Vestris, 

 Violet Rougeatre, Brown's Ulysses, Daphne, Franciscus primis, and Clarence. 

 Mr. Townley's were, Aglaia, Mentor, Austria, Platoff, Holmes's King, Triomphe 

 Royale, Albion, Catalano, Gloria mundi , Optimus, Royal George, and Cerisa 

 belle forme. Mr. Clark's were, Triomphe Royale, La plus Belle, Darius, Rain- 

 bow, Clarence, Aglaia, Violet Triumphant, Lord Brougham, Roscius, Mizraim, 

 Fleur des Dames, and Rubens. We remarked that the collections of plants were 

 not generally distinguished from each other in the arrangement by any parti- 

 cular mark ; while, in most cases, only the names of the exhibitors, and no other 

 particulars about them were written on the cards attached to the plants. It 

 would be an improvement to place something between the collections to separate 

 them, and also to give the residence of the exhibitors, with the gentlemen to 

 whom they are gardeners, when the latter are exhibiting. A list of the awards 

 is subjoined. Amateuus : — The middle silver medal to Mr. Edmonds, for 

 twenty-four varieties of Heartsease. The small silver to Mr. Munro, fur ditto.
