ERANTHEMUM ANDERSONI (ELEGANS). 
This charming plant has been obtained from Trinidad by the Right Hon. Sir Maziere Brady, Bart, 
(through the Hon. Horace Fitzgerald, one of Her Majesty’s Judges in that Island), from whom 
Mr. W. B. received the stock. It is a native of India. 
It is one of the most effective and pleasing plants that can be cultivated, the beauty of its blos- 
soms being equal to that of some of the loveliest Orchids ; these are freely produced on small plants, 
borne in axillary and terminal spikes, the latter some 8 or 10 inches long. There is a remarkable 
Bucoession of flowers ; as soon as those first developed go off, others again and again supply their 
place, so that the spikes continue in beauty for weeks. The two upper and lateral lobes of the 
flowers are pure white ; the Orchid-like lip or lower segment is minutely but thickly dotted with 
crimson lake, and broadly margined with white. 3s. 3d.

white, and from 10 to 15 are produced on each spike.

GODWINIA GIGAS. 
This is the largest Aroid, both in leaf and flower, of which we have as yet any precise knowledge* 
It was discovered in January, 1869, by Dr. B. Seemann, near to Javali mine, in the ChontMes 
Mountains of Nicaragua, where it grows amongst brushwood in broken ground near rivulets. 
The plant grows with great rapidity — several inches during a single night. It produces only a 
solitary leaf, and after that has died off, the flower spathe makes its appearance, both leaf and 
'Spathe being of gigantic dimensions. The petiole (of the largest specimens measured in Nicaragua) 
is 10 feet long, covered with minute spiny projections, and with a metallio beautifully-mottled 
surface, brimstone yellow, barred and striped with purple, giving it the appearance of a snake
