 Colchester, and Sir Edmund Loder, Leonardslee. A remarkably fine 

 form of the Caltha with flowers three inches across, single, and of the 

 usual buttercup-yellow colour ; foliage much larger than the type. A 

 very fine sub -aquatic plant.

 Mr. R. Gill, Penryn, Cornwall. A splendid variety raised from B. Auch- 

 landii x B. Tliomsonii. The heads of flowers are of great size and a 

 brilliant crimson-red colour.

 Messrs. Backhouse, York. The foliage, growth, and size of blossom are
