XXXiv PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIE'^. 



On the motion of Mr. Michael, seconded by Mr. Crawshay, a 

 Botanical Certificate was unanimously recommended for Rehmannia 

 Henryi (fig. 70), now for the first time exhibited, and on the motion 

 of Mr. E. Hooper Pearson, seconded by Mr. Bennett-Poe, a Certificate 

 of Appreciation was unanimously recommended to Messrs. James 

 Veitch for work in connection with the raising of the interesting hybrid. 



Hybrid Strelitzia. — Mr. Hill remarked that a hybrid, intermediate 

 in character between its parents, was now flowering at Kew. It had 



Fig. 70. — Rehmannia Henryi. [Gardeners' Chronicle.) 



Reginae, and, whilst it had leaves similar to those of S. Augusta, it i 

 was only about 1 foot high. 



Seedlings from Amaryllis. — Mr. Hudson, V.M.H., showed two 

 seedlings from an Amaryllis which had been pollinated with pollen from 

 Vallota purpurea. They did not show in any essential point the 

 characters of Vallota, and it was suggested that the flowers should be 

 self-pollinated and seedlings raised from them, to see whether the next 

 generation showed any segregation in the direction of Vallota.
