330 GREENHOUSE PLANTS. 



duces its blooms in good-sized trusses most profusely ; the 

 flowers individually are tubular, about four inches long, and 

 rich shining crimson in colour. This is a great acquisition 

 to growers of greenhouse Rhudodendrons, being, perhaps, the 

 most highly-coloured species of the whole race at present in 

 cultivation. Native of Borneo. 



R. McNabii. — This is a fine variety, the habit being 

 dwarf and compact, and it produces its large blush white 

 flowers in the greatest abundance. Of garden origin. 



R. NuttalK.— This fine plant, although it blooms freely 

 before attaining its full size, does attain a height of some- 

 thing like thirty feet ; it produces immense trusses of large 

 funnel-shaped flowers of the purest white ; they are, however, 

 beautifully relieved by a tinge of pale gold in the throat, whilst 

 on the outside they are delicately suffused with rose. It 

 blooms in the months of May and June. Native of Bootan. 



R. Prince Leopold. — A great acquisition of the Princess 

 Royal type ; flowers produced in large umbels, fawn colour, 

 sufiused with rose, deepening towards the edge of the petals, 

 centre deep rose. A highly effective variety. A garden 

 hybrid. 



R. Prince of Wales.- — A beautiful hybrid, the result of a 

 cross between R. Javanicum and Pi. retusum, from the Java 

 Mountains ; it has the rich bright orange colour of the 

 first-named plant, but is longer in the tube, like its other 

 parent ; the leaves are bright glaucous green. A very 

 ornamental greenhouse plant. 



R. Princess Alexandra. — This is a very free-blooming, 

 highly ornamental conservatory variety ; it resembles in 

 habit the well-known R. Jasminiflorum ; the tube of the 

 flower is long and pure white, and the stamens are light 

 rose colour. A garden hybrid. 



R. Princess Alice. — Flowers large, white, shading to blush.
