 F. C. Stern, Esq., Goring-by-Sea. An interesting climber, collected by 

 Mr. G. Fenwick-Owen in the Chone district, West Kansu, China, in

 plants flowered out of doors for the first time in 1913. The flowers 

 are single, solitary, about 2 inches across, and golden yellow in colour. 

 The stems of the plant are purplish. The foliage is glabrous, finely 

 divided, with five to seven leaflets, each ternately divided.

 Lawrence, Bart. (gr. Mr. Bain), Burford Lodge, Dorking. A remark- 

 able Californian shrub of erect habit, bearing numerous solitary, 

 terminal flowers, measuring 2 J inches across. The four subrotundate 

 crenulate petals are bright buttercup-yellow in colour, while the centre 

 is occupied by numerous orange stamens. The leaves are from 2 to 

 4 inches long, on short petioles, lanceolate, glabrous, acuminate, rigid, 

 and glaucous green. The plant has proved hardy at Dorking, and is 

 there given a position and treatment similar to that afforded to 

 Romncya Coulleri.

 Firma P. Vos Mz., Sassenheim, Holland. A very large, pretty variety,
