IRIS ( bicolor x aurea). See Painting. If we were asked to decide 
which had proved the most attractive of our introduc- 
tions of this section, we should certainly give the vote to 
this charming hybrid, which has secured more First-class 
Certificates and Awards of Merit from the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society than any plant placed before that society. 
The variation of colouring in the sepals and petals, from 
a deep greenish yellow to the darkest bronze, is most 
remarkable. The broad bi-lobed lips are of deep bright 
purple. All the varieties are pleasing. Splendid plant,
