beautiful new Cypripedium niveum , a Moulmein species, with the foliage of C. 
concolor, but having taller scapes, supporting white waxy flowers delicately spotted 
with purple. Both Mr. Bull and Mr. Williams had an Amaryllis named longifiora , 
which had been imported by the former from Costa Rica ; it has long-tubed 
flowers, with the pale-margined limb flushed with deep rose, and having a 
central white stripe. Fine-cut specimens of Beaumontia grandiflora , beautifully 
in blossom, were shown by Mr. Chambers, gardener to T. Lawrence, Esq.

with size and substance in the flowers, and purity in their colour, which is a solid 
unsullied white. The plant has a distinguishing peculiarity in the red petioles
