surface while young, becoming paler in age, the of its distinct form and fine tone of colour, U 
principal side-nerves lying in parallel curves was imported from New Grenada, where it was 
and deeply sunk, so that the leaf-surface appears discovered by Mr. Wallis, and has been dedi- 
Antburium Warocqueanum (see also p. 102.) 
to be puffed up between them. This peculiar 
corrugation is very effective. The spathe is 
white and oblong, but it is as a foliage-plant 
that it will be prized. Messrs. Veitch im¬ 
ported it from Columbia, through Mr. Wallis, 
and Mr. Bull received it from the same country 
through his collector, Mr. Carder. 
Anthurium Warocqueanum, it will be seen, is 
of similar habit to A. Veitchii, and has leaves 
of a similar form, but plain instead of corru¬ 
gated. The leaves grow from 2 ft. to 2i ft. 
long, and from 7 in. to 8 in. wide, and are of a 
rich deep green colour, with a fine velvety 
lustre, on which the pale-coloured costa and 
veins are displayed to great advantage. It is 
a noble subject, and will be welcomed by the 
cultivator of plants with fine foliage, on account 
cated to M. Warocque, an eminent Belgian 
amateur. 
Both these plants have received, and well 
deserved, the award of a Certificate of Merit 
from the Royal Horticultural and the Royal 
Botanic Societies.—T. Moore.

HIS Society held its fourth annual exhi¬

cultural Garden at South Kensington, 
in conjunction with the summer show of 
Roses. The primary object of this special 
Society is to improve the present races of 
Pelargoniums, and to encourage the production 
of new races, and by means of exhibitions to
