given about three times a week. To keep up a good supply of fruit

forced. 
Cypripedium Boxalli Nigricans. 
CYPRIPEDIUM BOXALLI NIGRICANS. 
A unique plant of this variety—which is 
peculiar to the Westfield Collection—was shown 
at the R.H.S., by Lrancis Wellesley, Esq., 
Woking, on February 13th last. It is the only 
form of C. Boxalli that has received any recog¬ 
nition from the R.H.S., having gained not only 
the First Diploma, but also an Award of Merit. 
The drawing shows the flower to be of fine 
proportions. The upper sepal is unusually 
broad, and of an intense blackish-purple, while 
the petals and pouch are of a deep reddish- 
brown colour, beautifully marbled and blotched 
with deeper shades.
