New and Eake Plants in Flower. Angrcecum 
ehurneum. This noble-looking plant lately flowered 
in the nui'sery of Messrs. Rollisson, Tooting-, of 
which the accompanying vignette gives a small 
representation of the growth and manner of flower- 
ing, with a flower the size of life, with the ex- 
Society, in February last, by Mr. Ayres, Brook- 
lands nursery, Blackheath. The plant was in 
most vigorous growth, and the foliage had nothing 
of the curled appearance usual to this species. 
Mr. Ayres stated that it had been grown through- 
out the summer in stove-heat, and wintered in an 
ception of the tail-like appendage being an inch 
longer than represented. The broad massive lip 
is of the purest white, smooth and glossy, having 
much the resemblance of ivory, from which its 
specific name is derived; the sepals and petals 
pale greenish yellow, the tail green. The flower- 
scape is about two feet long, green, with dark 
bands or bracts every two or three inches; the 
flowers are placed back to back close to the 
stem, the peduncles being short and twisted. 
There is a beautiful as well as handsome appear- 
ance about this plant, from its characteristic 
growth, which, without the assistance of colour, 
gives a large amount of pleasurable gratification 
when seen in bloom. 
Boronia triphylla. A nice young specimen of 
the above was exhibited before the Horticultural 
intermediate house, which treatment appears to 
have suited it most admirably. As a plant for 
winter decoration, it certainly is one of most 
charming as well as useful species in cultivation. 
The flowers are a rich rosy pink, and remain a, 
long time in perfection of bloom. 
Capsicum spe. nov. In the nursery of Messrs. 
Yeitch and Son, Exeter, in August last, we ob- 
served a great novelty belonging to the ornamental 
peppers, by way of colour, most of the species 
bearing scarlet, or red fruit, of some shade; this 
one, however, is a pure yellow, bright and glossy, 
about an inch and a half long, and an inch diame- 
ter in the widest part or base, and tapering to a 
point. The fruit is more edible, not being so 
pungent as the other varieties generally are. The 
flower is small, white, and insignificant. The
