EXOTICS IN COENWALIi. 331 



favourable situation of Trelissick, the acclimatising of exotics 

 has not taken that important place in outdoor operations that 

 one might have expected. Only very recently has it dawned on 

 the proprietor that around the lily pond every desirable condition 

 exists for the laying out of a sub-tropical garden. When the 

 contemplated remodelling of this corner of the estate is carried 

 out, Trelissick will have had another jewel placed in its crown. 

 At present it enjoys a more than local reputation for its Richardia 

 and Nymph<Ba lilies. In Julj' last the writer must have seen no 

 fewer than ten thousand Richardia flowers reflected in the waters 

 of the pond, while the surface was gemmed with white and 

 blue and red and yellow stars of the several kinds of Nymphma. 

 On the banks of the pond Gunnera manichata grows leaves with a 

 circumference of twenty-four feet. Foremost among the exotics 

 of Trelissick are :
