*Parkinsoni, perianth white, cup yellow. No. 1 
of the three natural hybrids found on the 
Pyrenees by Mr. H. E. Buxton in 1881 may 
prove to be this plant. 
N. Nelsoni. 
Very much reduced from natural size. 
Nelsoni, i-flowered ; flowers horizontal, with short 
tube below the broad spreading perianth, the 
cup cylindrical, rarely expanded at the mouth. 
Nelsoni, perianth white and large, cup yellow, 
straight, and usually suffused with orange on

mouth of the cup. L. Each, 2s. 6d. 
Pulchellus, perianth white, cup yellow ; it can be 
easily distinguished by the perfect campanulate 
shape of the well-imbricatcd flowers, and their 
somewhat drooping character on first opening. 
L. Each, 3s. 6d. 
William Backhouse, perianth white, cup yel- 
low; this is evidently the same cross as the 
foregoing, but without the colouring matter ; 
the cup is pure yellow, thus showing that Mr. 
Leeds and Mr. Backhouse used similar flowers 
in crossing. B. 
Bernard!, perianth white, cup yellow, sturdy foliage. 
The Hon. Mrs. Barton, Straffan House, County 
Kildare, collected this handsome hybrid a few 
miles from Luchon, on the Pyrenees, 1878, and 
it has been verified by Mr. Burbidge as the type 
Bernardi. 
No. 1 : this on further investigation may prove to 
be Macleai Parkinsoni, re-introduced by Mr. 
H. E. Buxton, 1881, and found on Piz Ente- 
cade, near Luchon. Mr. Buxton brought 
home at least three varieties, that is No. 1, 
and the two following, and although they 
have all the appearance of being produced 
by the same cross as Mrs. Barton’s plant, 
they are very different in habit, the leaves 
being more numerous, and the flowers smaller
