height when they bloomed, and I think they are likely to continue dwarf in their

E. Murrayana appears quite to have realised Mr. Turnbull’s wishes ; for its 
habit is very like that of E. aristata , and the flowers are as rich as those of the 
male parent. It is a most beautiful hybrid, and other similar ones, which we 
have received from Mr. Turnbull, are almost equally good. The specimens 
evinced the highest state of health, and Mr. T. cultivates his plants according to 
the well-known treatise of Mr. M 4 Nab.
