^Ir. Bateman moreover deprecated " the mixing Orchids with 
other flowers, even in miscellaneous collections. This was never 
allowed at Chiswick. The delicate tints of the Orchids are killed 
by the bright colours of other plants. How can even Masdevallia 
Veitcliiana stand against the Anthurium with wbich it is accompa- 
nied to-day ? " 
Attention was then called to the beautiful plant exhibited as 
BrodicBa coccinea, G-ray. The crown of the corolla, however, is 
quite at variance with the characters of JSrodicea, as is, indeed, 
the general appearance. It must certainly belong to a new genus. 
The Meeting was congratulated on tbe exhibition of the scarlet- 
flowered Delphinium^ as it was believed that not a single specimen 
of D. cardinale was left in the country, it having proved extremely 
difBcult of cultivation. 
A Fly-trap was pointed out, of which a figure has appeared in 
the ' Grardener's Chronicle,' p. 461, fig. 84.
