HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION. 



(Concluded from last Number.') 



The following very fine specimens were exhibited on the occasion : — 



Fuchsia Slandishn, six feet high, in profuse bloom, by Mr. Standish. 



■ sanguinea, five feet high, very profusely in bloom. The corolla is of 



a deep red ; the flower is somewhat of the F. globosa maxima habit, but much 

 larger ; it appears to be produced between that and Y. fulgens. It is a very fine 

 kind, well deserving a place in every collection. 



Clematis bicolor, a plant from Mrs. Marryatt, trained to about six feet high, 

 having upwards of three hundred expanded flowers. It was very beautiful. 



Glojrinia vinlacea. The flower large, of a violet-purple colour; by Mr. 

 Mouivtjoy. 



Anagallis c&ru/ea grandifiora. In the way of A. Phillipsii, but a larger 

 flower ; by W. Harrison, Esq. 



Slephanotus Jtortbumlus. A plant coiled and trained to the height of eight 

 feet, was most charmingly in bloom ; its large clusters^of pure white strikingly 

 rich and fragrant flowers, gave it considerable attraction. This plant ought to 

 be in every collection of hot-house plants. The one exhibited was from Mrs. 

 Lawrence. 



Ixora (new species), with fine heads of beautiful white flowers ; by Baron 

 Dimsdale. 



Jjrora coccinea : a fine plant, was exhibited by Mr. Bruce, gardener to Boyd
