FLORAL INTELLIGENCE. 
Horticultural Society of London. 
Saturday, June 21st, was the day of the second exhibition of 
this Society, when a most brilliant gathering occurred. The 
large gold medal was awarded to Mr. Barnes, for the best 
collection of forty stove and greenhouse plants, which were 
considered by all to be the most remarkable group of well- 
grown plants ever brought together. Several among them were 
truly magnificent, particularly the Clerodendrons ; one plant 
of C. paniculatum was a wonder, the spike of flowers measuring 
three feet in height, and rather more in circumference at the 
base ; the plant itself must have been fifteen or twenty feet 
round. C. Kaempferi, C. squamatum, C. splendens, and C. fallax, 
were all present in admirable order, as also excellent plants of 
the following ; — Poly gala oppositifolia, Ixora rosea, Boronia 
denticulata, Pimelea decussata, Stephanotus floribundus, Ron- 
deletia speciosa, Phcenocoma prolifera, Erica elegans, E. odora 
rosea, E. dilecta, E. Thunbergiae, E. Plunkettii, E. ventricosa, 
and E. tricolor in several varieties, Leschenaultia formosa, and 
Epacris grandiflora, &c. 
The second collection of a like number was sent by Mr. 
Robertson. In the collections of twenty species Mr. Frazer 
obtained the-first with a very neat group containing Boronia 
serrulata, Aphelexis humilis, and A. speciosa, Gompholobium 
splendens, Coleonema tenuifolium, Burchellia capensis, Gloxinia 
Youngii, Polygala acuminata, Pimelea hispida and decussata, 
several Ericas, &c. Mr. Ayres had the second twenty. 
There were several collections of twelve plants. The best 
was from Mr. Bruce, who had Adenandra fragrans, Ixora 
grandiflora, Boronia serrulata, Eutaxia pungens, Aphelexis 
humilis and sesamoides. Euphorbia splendens, and some good 
Heaths. The second group was from Mr. Green; and the
