the summer ; in this ground are to be seen some hundreds of 
seedling Rhododendrons, a number of hybrids and species together ; 
so that we may look forward with great expectations to their 
proving something more splendid than any that have yet flowered 
in this country. In the heath-house there is a splendid specimen 
of the Lilium speciosum roseum, and also of the Lilium speciosum 
album. 
The plants at present in flower in the orchideous-house are : 
**Stanliopea insignis, and grandiflora ; *Epidendron cuspidatum, 
ciliara, and elongatum; Cattleya Forbesii, **Harrisonii, and Lod- 
digesii ; also, Mossse versicolor ; Catesetum tridentata several 
varieties, and Juridum and semeapertum ; Oncidum Harrisonii ; 
Dendrobium secundum, and Chrysanthum ; Zygopetalum maxil- 
laris, stenopitalbium, and crinatum ; Dendrobium alpestre ; Pholi- 
data imbricata ; Cycnoches Loddigesii ; Catesetum cristatum ; 
Oncidim lanceam—or what is called “ the king of the woods; ” 
Stelis tristylis; Polystachia purpurescens, and latiola; Acropera 
citrina, and Loddigesii ; Gongona ignea, and maculata ; Calanthe 
bifurata ; veratrifolia ; Vanda multiflora ; and Epidendron ellip- 
tica. In the stove, the plants now in flower, are : Curcuma 
Roscoeana; Gastrochilus pulcherrimus; and Griffinea Hyacinthina^ 
which are three rare and beautiful plants. 
FLOWERING OF CEREUS TRIANGULARIS. 
This well-known but remarkably shy-flowering species came 
into bloom on Monday the 14th, and again on Tuesday the 15th 
of September, in the conservatory of W. M. Christy, Esq. of the 
Clapham-road. If this is not the first time that this splendid 
flower has blown in England, any former blowing of it must have 
been both rare and obscure, inasmuch as we have been able to 
find no record of a former instance. Through the kindness of 
the proprietor we have been enabled to obtain a drawing, which 
we shall shortly publish, with some remarks on the plant and its 
genus ; and so, in the meantime, we shall barely notice the fact.
