BUDDLEIA hybrida, Eva Dudley. Mr. E 4d. Wilson of the 
Arnold Arboretum, writes of this new plant as follows:— 
“This charming new plant is of hybrid origin, the result of 
crossing the well-known Buddleia Davidii magnifica and B. asia- 
tica. A free-growing and extremely floriferous plant, it com- 
bines the good qualities of both its parents. Every shoot and 
lateral branch terminates in a cylindrical tail from 6 to 20 
inches in length, which is composed of hundreds of fragrant 
flowers. The flowers are of the most delicate lavender pink with 
intense orange centre. Apart from its good habit and free- 
growing and floriferous character, this new plant is remarkable 
for the delightful fragrance of its flowers. A single spray de- 
lightfully scents a whole room.”’
