First-class Certificate. 

 To Nephrolevis Marshallii compacta (votes, unanimous), from 

 Messrs. May, Edmonton. A sport from the well-known N. exaltata 

 var. Marshallii. The light green fronds are divided and subdivided to. a 

 very great extent so that the pinnules are almost threadlike, giving 

 the fern a very pleasing mossy appearance. It is compact in habit and 

 is not so liable to lose its characteristics as N. Marshallii. (Fig. 74.) 



To Oncoha Routledgei (vot^s, unanimous), from C. E. Shea, 

 Esq., The Elms, Foots Cray. A new shrub having spiny shoots and 

 large pure white flowers about 2-^ inches across with a bunch of yellow 

 stamens. The leaves are dark green, lanceolate, acute and about 

 4 inches long by inch broad. The plant exhibited had been grown 

 in a temperature of 55^ F., and was raised from seed sent to England 

 in 1905 by Mr. Jas. Eoutledge from Mombasa. The large number of 

 unopened buds show the plant to be of a very fioriferous character. 

 The fruits, one of which was forming on the plant shown, are about the 

 size of small oranges. (Fig. 70.)
