BLANDFORDIA PRINCEPS. 
This strikinj 5 ly liandsome greenhouse perennial gained the first prize as the best now flowering 
greenliouse plant at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Exhibition in the summer of 1875. The stift 
sub-ereet distichous leaves are narrowly-linear, five to eight ribbed, and with a serrulate border. The 
scape is a foot high, bearing a corymb of many flowers, which are two and a half indies long, pendent, 
regularly fiumel-shaped, with a bright crimson tube and deep golden yellow erect limb. It must be 
regarded as the most beautiful of the Blandfordias yet knoini. It has been figiucd in the Botanical 
Magazine for January, 1876, tab. 6209. IJ and 2 guineas.
