THE CHICKWEED TRIBE (c ARYOPHYLLE^). 
PicoTEES. Miss Miller and Emperor of China. Miss Miller was raised from 
seed by Mr. Pinder, of Croydon. It is a flower of great merit ; the colours are 
very brilliant and rich, the crimson markings being- so distinct, and the greatest 
quantity being- contrasted with the pure white in the centre of each petal, make it 
a flower of g-reat interest. Its form is also good. 
Emperor of China is one of those novel flowers which Mr. Hogg has imported 
from Germany. It is a pleasing- flower, full of well disposed petals, which are 
brilliantly marked with stripes of bright scarlet. Highly worthy the attention of 
amateurs. Flo7\ Mag., No. X.

Tulips. Solon and Esther. Solon is a fine flower, raised from seed, and broke by 
the late W. Clarke, Esq., of Croydon. It is a first or second row flower, of a novel 
and bold appearance ; the petals are remarkably broad, and the shape of the 
flowering- fine. 
Esther is a very striking flower, the colour is brilliant and rich, and when the 
flower expands, the peculiar manner of its markings forms a complete star. Flor.

diff'ers from C. Drummondi, in having a much larger limb, the tube green, and the 
sepals lined with green on the outside ; the leaves longer and wider, the filaments 
free from the tube one eighth instead of one sixteenth, and the style shorter than 
the tube. Bot. Mag., 3482. 
TFIE ORCHIS TRIBE (ORCHIDE^). 
Angr^cum caudatum. Long-tailed Angraecum. A most remarkable new 
species of Angraecum, imported from Sierra Leone by Messrs. Loddiges, in whose 
collection it flowered in August last. Professor Lindley says, it is one of the most 
difficult of the tribe to manage successfully. In the nursery at Hackney, it is 
attached to a piece of wood, suspended from the roof of the stove for epiphytes.
