effective things than the beautiful crimson Linum grandijlorum; 
and we think that the plant now figured will be also a very 
pretty addition to the already known members of the family. 
Mr. Veitch says of it: “We received it from our collector, Mr. 
Pearce, who sent it from Peru in 1860. He describes it as a 
beautiful species, with large flowers about an inch in diameter, 
and growing in a good loamy soil. It is a very free bloomer 
indeed, and the plant we exhibited in the summer is still in 
bloom (September), and will, we think, be a capital greenhouse 
decorative plant. We have not yet sent it out, but shall be 
able to do so, we hope, next season. 55 
We have only to add, that it has received a certificate from 
the Floral Committee of the Poyal Horticultural Society, when 
exhibited before them during the present year.
