 Lselio-cattleya eximia and Cattleya Hardy- 



toglossum Pescatorei. Evidence of the lat- 

 ter parent was seen distinctly in the branch- 

 ing spike and the shape of the flowers, while

 indication of the niiltonia parent. The 

 white sepals and petals are marked with red

ODONTONIA ST. ALBAN. 



A pretty and distinct hybrid obtained by 

 crossing Miltonia Warscewiczi with Odon- 



LAVATERA OLBIA. 

 An old plant that has somehow or other 

 missed general recognition. It is a shrubby 

 species hailing from Provence, and, as it 

 has become naturalised in some parts of the 

 British Isles, there is no doubt about its 

 hardiness. The soft downy leaves are 

 deeply three or five-lobed, though the highest- 

 ones may sometimes be entire. The short- 

 stalked axillary flowers are about two inches 

 across, and a very pretty shade of silvery 

 rose or pale silvery-purple. The plant 

 flowers freely, grows from 3ft. to 6ft. high, 

 and is an elegant subject for a sunny posi- 

 tion. A.M., R.H.S., June 18. Mr. Maurice 

 Prichard, Christchurch.
