From Mr. Errington, Gardener to Sir Philip G. Egerton, Bart., 

 F.H.S., beautiful cut specimens of Cattleya intermedia, and crispa, 

 also leaves of Rhododendron ferrugineum the undersides of which 

 were covered with galls similar to the Oak Apple, a disease not 

 uncommon upon this species and produced by the puncture of 

 some insect. (Certificate awarded for the Cattleya crispa.) 



From Mr. Dean, Gardener to James Bateman, Esq., F.H.S., a 

 collection of handsome Orchidaceous flowers, comprising a beau- 

 tiful variety of Oncidium Lanceanum, a richly coloured ^anda 

 Roxburghii, Brassia brachiata, a spike of Cycnoches E^ertonianum, 

 which attracted attention from its having been produced by the 

 selfsame pseudo-bulb which last year bore a spike of C. ventrico- 

 sum, likewise cut flowers of Phaius albus and a small species of 

 a Camarotis. (Baxksiax Medal awarded for the two former.) 



From Messrs. Lucombe, Pince and Co., blooms of their beau- 

 tiful Fuchsia Exoniensis. 



From Mr. Standish, Nurserjnnan of Bagshot, four hybrid 

 Fuchsias, which he stated to have been obtained in the follow- 

 ing manner. Having raised in 1842 from F. furmosa eUgans, 

 fertilized with the pollen of F. corymbiftora, some pretty seed- 

 lings, these again seeded freely without assistance, and gave rise 

 to the present plants, which showed that this tribe, instead of de- 

 generating like Calceolarias, and many Florists' flowers, if not 

 crossed, improved considerably. The seedlings were named 

 Aitractor, Colossus, President, and Candidate. 



From Mr. Henry Groom, F.H.S., of Clapham Rise, several 

 exceedingly vigorous plants of the highly beautiful Lilium Ian- 

 ci/olium punctatum.
