crossing N. mixta with N. Dicksoniana. It is intermediate in character 
between its parents, and produces enormous pitchers quite 12 inches long 
and nearly 5 inches broad at the widest part ; bright green, heavily 
blotched and mottled with brown and deep crimson. The broad glossy 
green rims are heavily shaded with mahogany-brown and crimson, and 
the bold pale-green lid is freely spotted with crimson. 
Aivard of Merit, ^ 
To Thalictrum Chelidonii (votes, 9 for), from the Marchioness of 
Breadalbane, Taymouth Castle, N.B. (gr. Mr. W. Wright). A new or 
very rare herbaceous plant introduced from the temperate Himalayas, 
where it occurs at an elevation of from 6,000 to 10,000 feet. It bears 
some resemblance to T. Delavayi, which is also very rare and exceedingly 
diflicult to grow satisfactorily. T. Chelidonii is dwarf, quite hardy,, 
floriferous, and well adapted for the rock garden. It is of graceful habit,, 
with much-divided pale green leaves, glaucous on the undersides, and 
bears panicles of dainty, rosy-mauve campanulate flowers with pro- 
minent yellow stamens.
