LIND’ENBEROIA GRANDIPLORA. 
Altli-ough listed in tlie Kew Haud Book of 
HerW^eons Pla<nt«, and, consequently, a 
more or less iliardy planit, Lindenbergia gran- 
diflora, is undoubtedly a Very fine greenhouse 
plant for flowering during winter. As showm 
it was about 2^ft. high, th-e stems bare for 
a few inches at the base, but clothed above 
with soft, smiall leaves that were alm^ost hid¬ 
den by a profusion of yellow flowers. This 
same plant had been continuously in bloom 
for two months. It is a native of tlie Hima¬ 
laya, belongs to the Order Scrophulariaceae, 
and is by no means new^ though mot eommon. 
For winter-flowering it is well worth culti¬ 
vation. A.M., R.H.S., January 7. Messrs. 
Jas. Veitch and Sons, Chelsea. 
L^LIA ANCEPiS ROEBLINGIAN,A. 
A distinct variety of L. anceps, but as 
the plant was sent from the United States, 
in spike, the blooms were not seen at their 
best. The purple and paile, almost white, 
colouring of the petals appear in streaks and 
flushes, and not in the usual solid or deli¬ 
cately-shaded fashion. A.M., R.H.S., Janu¬ 
ary 7. C. G. Roebling, Esq., Trenton, New 
Jersey, U.S.A. 
OBONaX)NIA FIRMINI. 
This bigeneric hybrid is derived from a 
cross between Odontoglossum crispum and 
Miltonia vexillaria, and it most resembles 
the latter parent. ’The flowers are flattish, 
but the lip is no't so abnormally large as in 
a Miltonia. The colour is White, with pink 
flushing and a yellow disk. A.M., R.H.S., 
January 7. M. Firmin Hambeau, Brussels. 
CYPRIPEBIUM A.MAZON. 
A very large form that has evidently de¬ 
scended from C. insigne Harefield Hall. It 
has a very broad and rounded dorsal sepal 
that is very largely coloured green, but has 
a white apex. The wtide petals are green 
and brown, and the lip is of similar hue. 
A very bold cypripedium, but not exactly 
a pretty one, though its style and form is 
very popular just now among fanciers.

vie. Esq. (gardener, Mr. Balmforth), The 
Shrubbery, Oxford. 
CYPRIPEDIUM IONA. 
A pretty cypripedium of medium size, with 
fairlv broad segments, and sliglitly drooping 
petals. The ground colour is creamy-white, 
and this is freely dotted and shaded with 
rich rosy-purple. A.M., R.H.S., January 7.

ODONTOGLOSSUM GEORGE DAY. 
Though not so fine as O. Smithi, th 
hybrid between O. crisipum and O. Rosi 
rubescens is very attractive by reason of i1 
purple spotiting, and chocolate-brown sha< 
mg on a white ground. As is usual, C 
Rossi has impressed itself strongly on ii 
progeny. A.M., R.H.S., January 7. H. ^ 
Goodson, Esq. (gardener, Mr. G. Day), Fail 
lawn. Putney. 
ADIODA ,ST. FUSCIEN HEATONENSE. 
In this little orchid Cochlioda Noezlian 
an^ Ada aurantiaea have been combined. Th 
latter parent has exerted the greater inflr 
en^, but the spike is looser and the flower 
rarnei more expanded than is Ada auraB 
uiaca, but the segments are pointed, and th 
t>iooi^ a^ of a deep crimson-red colour. Cei

CALIFORNIAN BOX ELDER. 
This is a variety of the well-know^n Box 
Elder (Acer neguiido), which is distin¬ 
guished by the varietal name of californi- 
cuni. Under cultivation in this country it 
appears to be of more vigorous grow th than 
the type, although it cannot be expected 
ciiiiens being more common than large colo¬ 
nies. The leaves are composed of three 
principal lobes, which are deeply cut about 
the margins. It is best knowm in this 
country by its golden-leaved form, wdiich 
is variously known as A. n. californicum 
aiireiim, and A. n. odessanum. This is of 
vigorous growth, with showy, golden
