 diameter; flower rather flat, petals numerous, regularly 

 decreasing to the centre, which has an occasional speck of

 or less with white ; they are full four inches in diameter ; 

 the petals are round, and regularly disposed, and imbri- 

 cated on each other, gradually decreasing to the centre, 

 forming a most perfect flower. The plant grows freely, 

 and blooms profusely ; no collection can be perfect without 

 it. Magnificent. 



C. intermedia is a sport from S. pseoni/lora; it is a very 

 large blush, beautifully suffused with rose. Magnificent. 



C. invincible, or punctdta, flower three inches and a half

 growth ; leaves round, acuminate, and of a dark green. 

 Superb.
