CROTALABIA AGATTFLORA. 
This crotalaria is described as one of the 
finest and one of the largest-flowered of the 
African species of this genus, and the speci¬ 
men figured fully justifies this description. 
It is a native of Uganda, and British East 
Africa, and forms in a wild state a large 
handsome shrub, and bears numerous long 
cent of L.-c. Ingrami, while the colouring 
is very like the deep rose-purple of C. Man- 
tini. A.M., R.H.S., August 12. Messrs. J. 
and A. McBean. Cooksbridge, Sussex. 
L.®LIO-CATTLEYA WELLESLETI YAR. 
FLAMBEAU. 
A fine bold form of the hybrid between 
C. Warscewiczi and Martinetti, and one 
in which the influence of the first-named 
parent is very marked. The sepals and 
petals are rose-purple with old gold shading. 
ROSES FLOWERING 
LATE. 
During the first week in August hundreds 
of rose trees especially those of climbing 
varieties suen as Dorothy Perkins, Hii- 
uatha, and Stella, seemed to be at their 
best, flowering profusely. Hybrid teas and 
hybrid perpetuals, too, were masses of blos¬ 
som. This condition obtained in Bourne, 
mouth, where roses are usually in bloom

Messrs. Bobbie and Co., Edinburgh. 
racemes of large, bright, greenish-yellow 
flowers. The credit of first flowering this 
species in England belongs to Mr. W. F. 
Hamilton, gardener to Ingham Whitaker, 
Esq., Pylewell Park, Lymington, who ap¬ 
pears not to have experienced any great diffi¬ 
culty in growing and flowering the plant.

L^LIO-CATTLEYA URSULA. 
A new hybrid derived from L.-c. Ingrami 
and C. Mantini, and one that will doubtless 
become finer as the plant develops. In form 
and substance the flower is strongly reminis¬ 
and the large lip is rich purplish-crimson 
shading to red-purple near the yellow disk.

Veronica Autumn Beauty- — 
This is an exceedingly pretty free-flowering 
veronica of garden origin, whose rich, 
bluish-purple-coloured blossoms are borne 
over a lengthened period. It is a dwarfer 
plant than the varieties which have origi¬ 
nated fnom Veronica speciosa. Though 
bearing the name of Autumn Beauty, it is 
finely in flower in the month of July.—^K.
