Berkeley." The flowers are borne in a succes- 

 sion of whorls, as those of the type, but they 

 are white, with a yellow throat, and reddish on 

 the exterior of the corolla tube. 



The conifers included Pinus Armandi, a five- 

 leaved Pine allied to P. koraiensis ; Tsuga yunna- 

 neiise, close to T. Sieboldii ; Larix Potaninii, with 

 bluish-green linear leaves about 1 inch long ; 

 Picea complanata and an unnamed species ; 

 Cephalotaxus Oliveri, a species close to 0. dru- 

 pacea; and Libocedeus macrolepis, a handsome 

 tree, unfortunately not perfectly hardy. 



For this fine group of new plants, Messrs. 

 James Veitch & Sons, Ltd., were awarded a 

 Gold Medal and the " South Wales " silver cup. 



In our description of Polypodium Mandai- 

 anum on page xv of Supplement last week, there 

 was an obvious error. The length of frond was 

 printed 3 inches instead of 3 feet.
