THE 
GARDENERS’ 
Two pretty things, raised by M. Anton Joly, in 
Baron Nathaniel von Rothschild’s gardens e 
Vienna, are recor or viz., Cypripedium X An 
Joly (vernixium x Spicerianum), and C. & Pii 
dora (Argus x Dayanum). 
MISCELLANEOUS. 
Among other good novelties of the year aii 
be recorded Cypripedium bellatulum, Har dy’ 
variety, with handsomely-marked flowers, purple 
on 008 e and the clear yellow C. insigne

in England, despite the * istance, two of 3 most

, either living 
or ina a herbarium, by any botanist, its very genus 
has been doubtful. The first account of it is con- 
tained in the Gardeners’ ter for 1861 (p. 735), 
where it is alluded to as a new Japanese plant, intro- 
duced by Mr. R. Fortune, and shown at a meeting of 
Royal Horticultu val Society, when it was 
awarded a First-class Certificate. It was described 
as a broad- leaved Eurya, having its young foliage 
been known in collections under the names of Eurya 
latifolia variegata, and Cleyera gene oat varie- 
gatis, both of which must now be a 
That this shrub is no Eurya, and ke itisa en, 
is evident. But the known species of that genus are 
so very closely allied to one another that the estab- 
leaved shrubs from both courtries, on the cccasion 
of his last visit to the East, and the absence of any 
specimen of C. Fortunei in the rich herbarium of 
Japanese plants at Kew is suspicious, 
There e three recognised Asiatic species of 
Cleyera, y allied to C, Fortunei. Of these, two 
are ‘Indian (which may be regarded as varieties of 
one), viz., C. ochnacea, DC., a native of the Himalaya 
and Khasia Mountains, and C. grandiflora, — . f; 
and Thoms. (see Dyer, in FI. Brit. Ind., v. i., pp. 283, 
284); the other is Japanese—C. japonica, * Sieb. and 
Zucc., which has by some botanists been regarded as 
a form of C. ochnacea. The chief difference between 
the Japanese and the Indian species is in the well- 
— venation of the leaves of the latter; the veins 
n C. japonica being very 
in the dried leaf. Both vary greatly in 
the flowers and leaves, and in the form of the

would appear, from the numerous specimens in the 
Kew Herbarium, to be the more common of the two, 
or there are examples of it from several parts of 
Japan, and from China and Formosa. 
C. Fortunei agrees with C. ochnacea and grandi- 
flora in the venation of the leaves, yir with the 
latter of these two in the size of the flowers, but 
aller than those re 
differs from both in the longer, narrower cone and 
their thinner tex

cultivation; and if the Himalayan species were to 
Japanese origin. And, further, more material might 
prove that there is but one species common to the 
Himalayas, China, and Japan. J. D. Hooker.
