FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES* 



The Gardeners' Chronicle. 



A RO^B=T:»fcQRED^ hybrid astilbe has 

 been exhibited Byyan Waveren & Kru- 

 ijflf, Haarlem, Holland, and has received 

 much notice. 



SiNNiNGiA Eegina. — This species was 

 exhibited last year at the Ghent quin- 

 quennial show as Gesneria regina, by 

 M. De Smet-Duvivier, from whom a 

 plant was purchased for Kew, where it 

 flowered in April and May, 1904. From 

 the most cursory glance it was obvious 

 that the plant was not a gesneria, and 

 on examination it proved to be a sin- 

 ningia (gloxinia of gardens), allied to 

 S. discolor and S. Menziesiana. S. re- 

 gina is reported to have been introduced 

 with a cattleya from Brazil, but until 

 this is confirmed by properly authenti- 

 cated wild specimens, the possibility of 

 a hybrid origin cannot altogether be ex- 

 cluded. Sinningia regina is a strik- 

 ingly handsome plant, about nine inches 

 high, with dark green, velvety leaves, 

 purple on their under surface. The flow- 

 ers are pale violet and drooping, and 

 are borne on long flower-stalks, four to 

 six together in the axil of each leaf; as 

 two successive pairs of leaves are usually 

 close together on the stem, the effect is 

 that of two many-flowered whorls, and 

 is very fine. The duration of the flow- 

 ering period is about six weeks, so that 

 this plant is likely to become a favor- 

 ite. The stock has recently been ac- 

 quired by Ernst Senary, Erfurt, Ger- 

 many.
