Award of Merit. 



To Kalanchce Dyeri (votes, 15 for, 3 against), from Messrs. J. Veitch, 

 Chelsea. A beautiful new species from Nyassaland (Central Africa). 

 The plant has the usual succulent leaves, with a stout flower-stem 

 about 2 feet high and a large truss of pure white flowers, each flower 

 being 2 inches long, and \ inch across, somewhat resembling a very 

 large white Bouvardia bloom. 



To Nephrolepis Whitmonii (votes, 17 for, 1 against), from Messrs. May 

 and Messrs. Low. A perfectly charming variety, said to be a sport from 

 N. Fosterii, which was a sport from N. exaltata. The variety under 

 notice is somewhat like N. todeaoides, but sturdier in the fronds, and 

 forms a beautiful mass of elegant fronds, about 15 inches long, and 

 3 inches wide at the base, tapering to a fine point.

 deeply and beautifully serrated. The habit is strong and graceful. A 

 charming acquisition.
