THE HARDENING WORLD 
January 12, 1889. 
Names of Plants.— H. A.: 1, Selaginella caulescens; 2, 
Doodia aspera ; 3, Nephrolepis exaltata; 4, Nephrodium decom- 
positum glabellum, generally known in gardens as Lastrea 
glabella; 5 and 6, different forms, or rather stages of Polypodium 
Billardierii. Thos. Campbell: 1, Odontoglossnm crispum Ander- 
sonianum snb.-var. (it comes under Andersonianum but does not 
appear to be a named form); 2, Odontoglossum Insleayi; 3, 
Odontoglossum cordatum; 4, Odontoglossum constrictum 
Sanderianum (differs somewhat in colour from the type). 
Origin of the Manetti Rose.— A. Benge: There is some 
doubt as to the real origin of this useful stock for Roses. One 
record is that it was raised from seeds of a Bourbon variety by 
M. Bertin in 1S32. Some years elapsed before it flowered, but 
as it appeared much stronger than any others from the same 
source, it was propagated for stocks. It flowered at length, and 
proved to be a single variety. The name Manetti was applied to 
it by MM. Burdin, of Chamberg. The other record concerning 
it states that it is a vigorous variety of the Hybrid China Rose, 
introduced to this country from Italy about forty years ago by 
Mr. Rivers. At all events there seems little doubt that it is of 
garden origin, and that its value as a stock was recognised about 
the dates mentioned.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean reading 
of the barometer during the week ending Jan. 5th 
was 30‘20 in.; the lowest reading was 29'8t in. at the 
beginning of the week, and the highest was 30 '54 in. 
on Thursday evening. The mean temperature of the 
air was 31 '8°, and 6 '2° below the average in the corre¬ 
sponding weeks of the twenty years ending 1868. 
The mean was considerably below the average on each 
day of the week, the coldest day being on Saturday. 
The general direction of the wind was N.E., and the 
horizontal movement of the air averaged 5'4 miles per

corresponding weeks of sixteen years. No rain was 
measured during the week. The duration of registered 
bright sunshine in the week was 3'2 hours, against 13 '5
