To Primula kewensis (votes, 12 for, 11 against), from the Director, 
Royal Gardens, Kew. This lovely Primula was stated to be a natural 
hybrid between P. floribunda ? and P. verticillata ^ . In habit and 
form of leaf it appears to be intermediate between its parents, and the 
deep yellow flowers are borne in whorls on scapes a foot long. It is an 
exceedingly free-flowering variety, as the plant exhibited had been flower- 
ing continuously from the commencement of October, 1899, and there 
were still many buds to open. (Fig. 52.) 
To Iris stenophylla (votes, unanimous), from Messrs. Wallace, Col- 
chester. This charming new species from Asia Minor barely exceeds 
6 inches in height, and seems to be allied to I. persica. Its flowers are 
large and exquisitely coloured, the bold standards are pale blue, and the 
falls deep plum-colour shading to lavender-blue, freely spotted with deep 
violet. 
Aivard of Merit. 
To Agapetes buxifolia (votes, 14 for, 6 against), from J. T. Bennett
