Cytisus purpureus which had been engrafted on a seedling 

 Laburnum. Professor Marshall Ward called attention to the 

 explanation offered by Professor Strassburger, of the occurrence 

 of the famous Cytisus Adami, viz., that it was due to an acci- 

 dental fusion of two nuclei, one from one species, one from the 

 other. 



Diseased Vines. — Mr. Blackmore sent a specimen with the 

 following note : — " The specimen submitted is the entire upward 

 growth of a young Gros Colmar planted in a vinery border, and 

 started into growth some two months since. About three weeks 

 ago it was suddenly struck with the fatal complaint, having, up 

 to that time, been strong and healthy, with richly coloured 

 foliage. I have not examined the roots, but believe that they 

 are quite healthy, as in fifty similar cases I have always found 

 them to be. There are no cold draughts in the house, neither 

 has there been any sudden fall of temperature. Other vines 

 close by are in luxuriant health and full growth." The specimen 

 was referred to Professor Marshall Ward for examination and 

 report. 



Botanical Certificates. — Certificates were recommended on 

 the ground of botanical interest and novelty to Dendrobium 

 albo-violaceum and Disa sagittalis.
