MIMULUS CLEVELANDI.* 
Tuts species s [figured and described by Mr. 
degee in Garden and Forest}, one of the 9 
of the genus, was found on the south side o 
Cuyamaca Peak, in Southern California, te 
from the signal-station on its summit. It gr in 
loose rocks the atems attain a height of 2 feet, but 
on exposed slopes their dei is — less. 
Although 8 g at a much greater elevation T 
6000 feet) than Mimalus glutinosus, its stems are 
woody, 3 short. It connects that species more 
closely with the sections nde and Eunanus, which 
have in most cases the same dehiscence. Itis now in 
cultivation in San Diego, and it will be of interest 
to observe bap =" stems become longer or larger 
in this pera clim 
The species is adi in honour of Mr. Daniel 
Cleveland, whose name is so well known in connec- 
with the flora of San Diego County. T., S. 
— San Diego, 
{Judging from herbarium specimens, this Mimulus 
ought to be a lant in California 
Europe. Of course, it would not be 
pm here, ye it is hardly probable that it would 
m 0 enhouse plant; but in dry climates, 
— it e re watered, it might become a large 
shrub and flower throughout the year, Ep. Garden

Among other good things in bloom were noted

an easy plant to grow; D. undulatum, Lelia cinna-

plants of Angraecum sesquipedale, with very large 
flowers; the fine old Phaius grandifolius, Oncidium
