FUCHSIA PENDULFEFLORA. 
This beautiful and interesting species, though by no means a novelty, well deserved 
the First-class Certificate of Merit awarded to it by the Royal Horticultural Society on 
March 9th, when it was exhibited by Mr. H Canned, Nurseryman, Swanley. It is one 
of the most ornamental of the many species in cultivation. The pendulous clusters of 
large-tubed, deep crimson flowers produce a very pretty and pleasing effect when exhibited 
in the large numbers as was seen on the plant shown by Mr. Canned on the above date. 
It is said to have “ the character of F. corymbiflora in miniature,” and it is thought by 
some to be very like, if not identical with, F. boliviensis. It is also stated that “ in a 
strict sense there is no fuchsia named pendulaeflora, though there is a species called F. 
pendula.” We have thought it best to give our illustration the name under which it was 
certificated; and we think it is likely to be largely grown when distributed, for its obvious 
good qualities. There are other beautiful species of fuchsias far too much neglected in 
these days.

DOUBLE CINERARIA, Mr. THOMAS LLOYD. 
In a recent number of the Floral Magazine was figured a rose-coloured double 
cineraria, under the name of Mrs. Thomas Lloyd. From the same raiser — Mr. R. Green- 
field, The Priory Gardens, Warwick — we have received the companion variety, named as 
above, having very large and full double purple flowers, so fine in every respect, that 
though Mr. Fitch has endeavoured faithfully to reproduce the flowers from the example 
set before him, he will yet be accused of having exaggerated the original. He has done 
nothing of the kind. Those who grow this fine variety will find it will not disappoint 
their expectations. It is such a marked advance on all other double cinerarias of this 
colour, that a First-class Certificate of Merit was awarded to it on March 2:lrd last. 
That it will become a favourite plant for house decoration may be safely predicted ; and 
we shall not be surprised by-and-by to find it cultivated as a market plant. It will be 
distributed by Messrs. James Veitcli and Sons, Exotic Nurseries, Chelsea.
