CYPPJPEDIUM PARDINUxU 
Altliougli this fiimily of Orchids does not contain plants of such gorg-eous colouring or sucli 
delicate perfume as many others, yet the singularity of their forms, and the ease with which 
they are cultivated, have made them as widely and generally grown as any of this very numerous 
race; in all, whether it he our native species, or the singularly tailed exotics, some of which 
we liave figured in former numbers of the Magazine, the distinctive feature for which the 
name of Ladies' Slipper has been given, viz. the curiouslj-formed labellum, is preserved. 
We are indebted to Mr. William Bull for the opportunity of figuring this recent addition 
to the genus, it having been imported b}’’ him from the East Indies, and exhibited at the 
Royal Horticultural Society of London ; it will be seen that the foliage is spotted, thus 
giving us in Cppiepediicm what we already have in Lhalcenojjsis — variegated leaves ; the 
flowers are singularly marked, the sepals being tijoped with mauve, and spotted with small 
round spots of brownish cidmson, the tip is light green with darker veins, the edges being 
mauve of the same shade as on the sepals, and the upper portion towards the throat yellowish 
orange ; the footstalks are of a lighter shade of mauve. It will thus be seen that there is a 
remarkable combination of colour in it, and although not very brilliant, the whole ajipearance 
of the flower is singularly attractive. 
As it is a native of the East Indies, it will require the temperature of a warm stove.

CINERARIA MARITIMA— AUREA MARGINATA. 
Cineraria maritima has for a long time been considered, by all who have to manage gardens 
in which bedding-out is carried on, as a most valuable plant, its beautifully silvery-white 
appearance and graceful foliage contrasting admirably with some of the deep-coloured leaves 
which are so abundantly used ; for instance, what a beautiful contrast it forms with Iresine 
Lindenii, or Coleus Verchaffeltii, while in the mixed border clumps of it kept within bounds 
form a pleasant feature. In arranging flowers for a dinner-table we have found some of the 
smaller leaves very useful. 
The plant which we now figure. Cineraria maritima aurea marpinata, has been obtained 
by Mr. Drummond, foreman to Mr. Sampson, nurseryman, Y^eovil, and has been fixed by him. 
We have elsewhere seen the plant sporting out into diversities like the present, but when 
they were grown on they gradually lost their character, and returned either to its normal 
condition or became quite green. One of this character we saw lately in a nursery near 
London ; but with Mr. SanijDSon the marking has become permanently fixed, and we can 
readily believe what he states, when he says it has excited the admiration of all who have 
seen it. 
Mr. Sampson’s establishment is well knoAvn throughout the West of England for the 
excellence of its bedding plants, and we are sure that this very beautiful plant, which he 
purposes distributing next May, wull be regarded as a valuable addition to our list of bedding 
plants.
