ALL AM AND A WILLIAMSI. 
Comparatively few additions have been made to the list of culti¬ 
vated Allamandas in recent years, and those we already have are so 
employed judiciously they have a beautiful appearance. Judging by 
the plant of Allamanda Williamsi (fig. 14) shown at the last meeting 
of the Royal Horticultural Society, and for which a first-class certi¬ 
ficate was awarded by the Floral Committee, it will be especially 
handsome that it is difficult to see how they could be surpassed. 
As climbing plants for covering the roofs of stoves they are most 
valuable, and yield a wealth of golden blooms during a good portion 
■of the year. Of late, too, the flowers have come into favour with 
many decorators for the base of dinner-table stands, and when 
adapted for culture in pots, as the habit is compact and bushy, and 
though the flowers are not so large as some of the others in general 
cultivation, they are of excellent shape, and a very clear bright shade 
of yellow, and produced in great freedom. We have no information 
respecting the origin of the plant.
