species under notice. The names C. 
hederaceum and C. hederaefolium have 
both been applied to the so-called Persian 
Cyclamen (C. latifolium). Sim's Botanical 
Magazine applies C. hederaefolium to C. 
vernale, another Italian species. The Ini ex 
Kewensis refers the C. hederaefolium of 
Willdenow to C. neapolitanum with a 
doubt, and retains the same name as used 
in Alton's Hovtus Kewensis for a South 
European species. Thus, therefore, the 
name C. hederaefolium has been applied by 
different authors to four different species, 
and C. hederaceum as a variant of it to a 
fifth species. Mr. J. G. Baker, keeper of the 
Herbarium at Kew, and other good modern 
authorities are agreed that the plant under 
cultivation, and naturalised in various parts 
of Britain is C. neapolitanum, and for 
botanical purposes at least, we have no 
fault to find with that decision. For many 
years past, even before the advent of the 
Index Kewensis, we were aware that this was 
the correct name of the* plant, and ascribe 
all the confusion in gardens to the blunder¬ 
ing of the older botanists including the 
great Linnaeus himself. 
Every succeeding year serves to impress 
upon us the value of C. neapolitanum for 
horticultural purposes. It is perfectly 
hardy, flowers and fruits abundantly in the 
open air without any special care beyond 
planting it under conditions congenial to

Whe Neapolitan Cyclamen.— By this 
A name we refer to Cyclamen neapolita¬ 
num described by the Italian botanist 
Tenore in his Prodromus Florae Neapoli- 
tanae p. LXVI, and which is a native of 
Central and Southern Europe, including 
the district of Naples from which it takes 
its name. We are aware that for many 
years past horticulturists have been accus¬ 
tomed to speak of it as "C hederaefolium, 
and under that name it is recorded in the 
earlier editions, at least, of the Student's 
Flora of the British Islands, but the original 
description applies in part only to the 
its welfare. In other words it must be 
planted under the shade of deciduous trees, 
and as far as we have observed it does best 
under Elms, though other trees answer the 
purpose admirably, so long as they are 
deciduous. The largest and finest planta¬ 
tion of it we have seen is in the Broxbourne 
Nurseries, of Messrs. Paul & Son, of the 
Old Nurseries. Cheshunt. The Cyclamen 
has been planted at different times in an 
undulated border of varying width, reaching 
from the main entrance near the Brox¬ 
bourne Railway Station along the siae of 
the rockery, and under the shelter of a row 
of tall Elms forming the boundary of the 
nursery on that side. The plantation is to 
be continued until it reaches the New 
River which flows past another side. The 
parent bed from which the ever extending 
plantation has been made contains corms 
which are sixteen years old. There is no 
degeneracy and as little evidence of the 
plants dying out. During the months of 
August, September, and October, the plants 
have been flowering most profusely. Just 
before we paid the visit of inspection 20,000 
flowers had been pulled, and yet there was 
no visible evidence that any had been 
gathered. The corms of the older plants 
are of large size, producing broad tufts of 
flowers and foliage, while the smaller and 
younger are just as profuse, and quite equal 
to the Persian Cyclamen in this respect. 
The flowers, of course, are smaller and the 
stalks shorter; but surely the species is 
capable of improvement and only awaits 
the influence of some guiding and skilful 
hand. 
Seed pods are being developed in place of 
the earlier flowers, and the coiled up foot¬ 
stalks are burying the seed pods in the soil 
where they will remain all the winter, and 
ripen the seed which will be fit to gather in 
May and June next year. The flowers 
vary from purple to rosy-purple, rose, white 
with a purple mouth, and almost pure 
white in some cases. The foliage is equally 
if not more variable and very handsome 
indeed. Some plants bear small leaves, 
and others notably large ones. Many of 
them are silvery-gray with a green zone in 
the middle of fanciful shape. Others have 
a green centre with gray margin. Some 
are so lobed as to have five nearly equal 
sides, while others are hastate or sometimes 
almost the shape of an arrow. Another
