H. crassifolia Hook. f., a native of New Zealand, is one of these. It has been in cultivation since 1875, and, though its flowers are inconspicuous, is valued as a garden shrub on account of its numerous berries, which are pure white or tinged with purple at the base and remain on the bush for a considerable time it retains some of its leaves through the winter, but can scarcely be called evergreen. For the material from which our plate has been prepared we are indebted to the Marquess of Headfort, Kells, Co. Meath, Ireland, who informs us that the plant was given him some 10 years previously by Sir Frederick Moore. Bean mentions a very fine plant in the Glasnevin Botanic Garden, 6 ft. high and 12 to 15 ft. in diameter. It may be propagated by seeds or cuttings. Since Hooker described H. crassifolia it has been found necessary to restrict the species to a narrower concept than his. Hemsley* has shown that Scaevola novae-zelandiae A.

About the same time (1885) Mr. Ford, of the Hongkong Botanic Gardens, sent to Kew a Dendrobium which he said ' is cultivated about Canton.\" A drawing of this by Miss M.

Pileostegia Hook. f. \u0026amp; Thoms.)* stand apart in having flowers with a single style, and fruits which are remarkable in that they open at the sides by the breaking away of the valves between the ribs. Moreover, they are soft woody plants climbing by means of aerial roots after the manner of the ivy. In the latter character they resemble certain species of Hydrangea L. -for example H. petiolaris Sieb. \u0026amp; Zucc. well-known in cultivation and figured at t. 6788 of this Magazine-the genus to which they are most closely allied, but from which they differ in their styles and fruits, Hydrangea having 4-5 styles, free or connate only at the base, and fruits which dehisce at the top between the styles. Decumaria is altogether a distinctive genus and differs by its flowers with 7-10 sepals and petals and 20-30 stamens from Schizophragma which has flowers with only 4-5 sepals and petals and 8-10 stamens. Of the latter genus S. hyd- rangeoides Sieb. \u0026amp; Zucc. t. 8520, S. integrifolia Oliver t. 8991, and S. (Pileostegia) viburnioides (Hook. f. \u0026amp; Thoms.)

Only two species of the genus are known; one, D. barbara L., occurs * See Stapf in Bot.

Syn. R. Brettii Hemsl. \u0026amp; Wils. in Kew Bull. 1910, p. 106. Rhododendron longesquamatum was so named by C. K. Schneider in 1909 on account of the remarkably dense indumentum of long branched hairs which covers the branch- lets and the midrib on the lower surface of the leaves. But it is not only on this very distinct characteristic that the species may be at once recognised, for a microscopical examination of the lower surface of the leaves reveals the presence of very peculiar scattered pustule-like glands, a very rare feature in Rhododendron leaves, except those which are truly lepidote. R. longesquamatum shares this dual character with R. Edgeworthii, but otherwise, of course, there is no further resemblance between the two species. From an evolutionary point of view, however, the two species are very interesting as showing, perhaps, the beginning of the peltate scales characteristic of the lepidote groups, for the peltate scale is but a higher type of the branched hairs which are also found on the leaves of the two species mentioned. A year or so after Schneider, Hemsley and E. H. Wilson also gave a name to the species, calling it R. Brettii, after Mr. H. J. Brett, of the Chinese Consular Service, who was stationed at Chengtu, Szechwan in 1904. Both descriptions were based on Wilson's number 3973 collected at Tatsienlu in July, 1903. In subsequent years Wilson gathered further specimens in various localities in Szechwan, at altitudes of 2700-3000 metres, where it flowers as late as July, but in cultivation in this country towards the end of June.

Its known distribution in the Balkan Peninsula is from Thessaly in the west to Thrace in the east. Northwards it extends only a short distance over the present boundaries of South (Greek) Macedonia into North Macedonia and south-west Bulgaria. It is a plant of the plains and foot-hills and in some parts of South Macedonia, as for example on the edge of the Struma Plain and the lower parts of the bordering hills, occurs in considerable quantity. The plants grow either separately or in small clumps with a low bush-like habit. In May and the early part of June the annual stems produce very numerous inflorescences with three to five relatively large flowers. The corolla is a bright yellow often with some red-orange veins on the standard.

Mag. Tokyo, XXIV. 16: 1910). It is only within recent years that this plant has come into cultivation in British gardens, and it is still by no means common. So far it has been used mostly as an alpine house plant, being usually grown in cold frames and brought into the alpine house in early spring for the beauty of its decorative young foliage and flowers. As stock becomes more plentiful, however, there seems no reason why the plant should not succeed out of doors in cool situations. A north-western slope in the rock garden and a well drained peaty compost, such as is favoured by many choice Japanese plants, should provide the most favourable conditions for its culture out of doors. For the specimen figured we are indebted to Col. C. H. Grey, Hocker Edge Gardens, Cranbrook, Kent. DESCRIPTION. A perennial geophilous herb. Rhizome horizontal, short, thick, irregularly subcylindrical, up to about 2 cm. in diameter. Scale-leaves (bud-scales) 2-4, broadly oblong-ovate, 1-3 cm. long, brown, membranous, glabrous, embracing the base of the stem. Stems solitary, or sometimes two together, 10-40 cm. high, up to 8 mm. thick at base, simple, terete, minutely puberulous, eventually glabrescent above. Foliage-leaves usually 2, in well-grown specimens 3 according to Kumazawa, borne on the uppermost quarter or third of the stem, reniform in general outline, 10-30 cm. or more wide and about four-fifths as long, deeply cordate at the base, palmately 5-7-lobed to about the middle, lobes more or less rhomboid-ovate, the 3 middle ones 2-3-fid at the apex, ultimate lobes acutely acuminate, margins sharply incised-serrate, teeth long-cuspidate, upper surface minutely crisped-puberulous on the principal nerves (young leaves sometimes sparsely puberulous between the nerves), otherwise glabrous, lower surface rather densely spreading-puberulous on all the nerves and veinlets, texture thinly membranous; principal nerves palmate from the base, secondary nerves pinnate, all almost straight till near the margin, impressed above, prominent below; lowest petioles (when mature) up to 20 cm. long, uppermost up to 15 cm. long, triangular in cross-section, puberulous when young, later glabrescent. Bract foliaceous, sessile, reniform to suborbicular, cordate, generally unlobed except shallowly towards the base, sharply incised-serrate, indumentum as on the leaves. Flowers solitary, very rarely 2, terminal. Peduncles simple (if 2, both arising from axil of bract), 0-5-5 cm. long, terete, finely striate, puberulous. Sepals 4, petaloid, broadly obovate-rhomboid, 3-5-5 cm. long, 2-4.5 cm. wide, rounded to very shortly broadly and obtusely cuspidate, entire, slightly puberulous outside towards the base, otherwise glabrous, pale mauve. Petals none. Stamens very numerous, 5-10 mm. long, glabrous: filaments filiform, slightly enlarged and abruptly constricted below the anther; anthers oblong-obovate, about 1 mm. long, subacute, bright yellow, thecae dehiscing laterally. Carpels 2, subcylindrical, 5-6 mm. long, about 1 mm. in diameter, shortly united at the base, ascending-suberect, puberulous along dorsal and ventral sutures; stigmata subcapitate-crescentiform. Fruiting carpels laterally com- pressed, subquadrate, united along inner side representing lowest third of ventral suture, remaining two-thirds forming upper and outer sides, which are straight, lower side slightly curved representing dorsal suture, stigma at lower outer angle, up to 5 cm. across from stigma to stigma, up to 2.5 cm. deep, dehiscent the whole way round the three outer sides, margins eventually subrecurved, gaping; valves conspicuously vertically nerved (i.e., parallel to outer and united edges), nerves fine, subparallel but anastomosing. Seeds pendulous in two rows from upper edge of carpels, the members of the two rows strictly alternating but forming a single line, compressed, broadly winged, obovate, about 1.5 cm. long and 1 cm. wide, brown, membranous; funicle about 1 mm. long.

Although I have myself seen many colour forms of that species in the field, I cannot subscribe to L. mutabilis being regarded as coming within its range of variability. The plant figured here is of striking beauty, the sky-blue of the unopened flowers contrasting with the brownish-yellow of the mature flowers, a characteristic whence the specific name is derived. It differs from L. orchioides and its various colour-forms especially in this colour-change, and more markedly so in its \"tail\" of quite long-pedicellate imperfectly developed flowers in the upper part of the inflorescence. In L. orchioides the flowers are usually all open at the same time, the spike is quite dense, and it is doubtful whether the beautiful blue colour is ever present in any of the forms. L. mutabilis was introduced into this country in 1825, and it was soon figured by Sweet (1.c.) and by Loddiges (l.c.). It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful species of this interesting Cape genus, which is now represented by upwards of seventy species mainly found in the Cape region of South Africa from Namaqualand to Port Elizabeth, most of them in the western part of this area, very few being found in the Karoo. Unless well-preserved, herbarium specimens lose many of their characteristics, and on this account Lachenalia is a genus which can be studied best from living specimens. Good collections of living plants of this genus may be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eSynonyms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #fff8dc; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; border-left: 4px solid #ffa500;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 5px 0; font-style: italic;\"\u003eL. orchioides Baker in Dyer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eAbout This Print\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eOriginal black and white uncolored botanical print from Curtis's Botanical Magazine (established 1787).

Nakai, the eminent Japanese botanist whose researches have contributed so much to our knowledge of the flora of that interesting region. He collected fruiting specimens in the Diamond Mountains \"in silvis montis Kumgangsan (T. Nakai n. 5759) in dumosis secus vias Chang-zen (T. Nakai n. 5757)\" and upon these specimens based his description of the species in 1917-the flowers being unknown to him at the time. Six years later the flowers were described by Rehder (l.c., 1923) from plants grown in the Arnold Arboretum from seeds collected by E. H. Wilson, to whom we owe the introduction of the species to cultivation. Wilson stated (in The Garden, 1.c.) that he collected seeds in the type-locality in the autumn of 1917. A fruiting specimen, no. 10456, was collected by him in July 1918 at Kongo-san prov. Kogen\" where the species was apparently common at an altitude of 1000 metres, and seeds were distributed from the Arnold Arboretum under this Wilson number. F. ovata is quite distinct from the other species of the genus, and may easily be recognised by its pale yellowish-brown to pale greyish-brown young shoots, by its mostly broad ovate to almost orbicular abruptly acute or acuminate leaves, and by its smaller rich \"butter\"-yellow flowers.

Several authors have reduced it to L. sapphirinia Hoffmgg. \u0026amp; Link, Fl. Port. I. 241, t. 42 (1809), but the more or less deeply bifid style of this latter and the shape of the seeds together with the more south- westerly distribution seem sufficient for valid specific distinction. Willkomm in Willk. et Lange, Suppl. 174 (1893) makes L. sapphirina itself a synonym of L. linogrisea Hoffmgg. et Link, while Nyman, Consp. Fl. Europ. 538 (1881), makes L. linogrisea a synonym of L. bipartita Willd. This diversity of opinion indicates the desirability of further field and cultural studies on this group. The place of valid publication of the name L. delphinioides is not quite certain. Gay first used the name, without description, in his account of Durieu's botanical journey in Asturias (Duriaei iter Asturicum Botanicum). The name was printed (as Linaria delphinoides Gay) on the labels of Durieu's 1835 collection, No. 258, but again without description.

This striking succulent green-house plant was first described in 1928 under the name of K. globulifera Perr. de la B thie var. coccinea Perr. de la B thie. It was discovered by the author of the original description growing in the humus under the trees in \"la Silve Lichens\" on Mont Tsaratanana, Madagascar at an altitude of 2000 metres. The plant was subsequently grown at Tananarive where it was observed to retain the characters exhibited in its native habitat though inclining towards becoming more floriferous and more robust. It is due to Mr. R. Blossfeld, Potsdam, that this plant was first brought into cultivation in Europe where it almost immediately attracted widespread attention owing to its value for horticultural purposes. As a result it is now fairly well-known in both Europe and the United States. The variety was raised to specific rank by von Poellnitz, who named the species K. Blossfeldiana in honour of Mr. R. Blossfeld. Our plate was prepared from a plant grown in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The plants at Kew were raised from seed purchased from Bernary's of Erfurt, Germany, in 1933. The taxonomic position of this species is fairly definite. It falls into the section Crenatae Berger [= Group 13, R. Hamet in Bull. Herb. Boiss.

It is a small shrub with bright canary-yellow unspotted flowers and is noted in the list of the Rhododendron Association as being hardy in the south and west of Britain but requiring shelter in gardens inland. R. chrysodoron belongs to the Boothii series, most of which have yellow flowers. Exceptions are the beautiful white- flowered R. leucaspis Tagg, and the magenta-rose R. tephropeplum Balf. f. \u0026amp; Farrer, both well known to readers of this magazine. Bayley Balfour's tentative concept of this Boothii series may require some modification when we know more about the species, for there is a considerable gap between R. Boothii, epiphytic on oaks at about 1500 metres in Bhutan, and the terrestrial R. tephropeplum, which occurs from 2750 to 4300 metres in Southern Tibet and Northern Burma. The natural grouping of the species at present included in the series seems to be as follows:-(1) R. Boothii and R. mishmiense; (2) R. aureum and R. chrysolepis; (3) R. sulfureum, R. commodum, R. chrysodoron, R. cernuum and R. theiocroum; (4) R. leucaspis and R. megeratum; (5) R. tephropeplum and R. deleiense, whilst R. monanthum, about which we know very little at present, takes rather an outside position and may even be an extreme reduction of the Triflorum series rather than of Boothii. Except for the four species allied to R. chrysodoron, the subject of our present plate, the species seem to associate best in closely allied pairs, a not unusual feature in Rhododendron. The specimen figured was grown by Lord Aberconway at Bodnant, where it flowered at the end of January, 1935.

The plants figured were cultivated by Mr. G. P. Baker in his garden at Hillside, Sevenoaks, and were shown at the Royal Horticultural Society's meeting on 4 April, 1934. Mr. Baker cultivates it successfully both in the open and in a frame and finds that the bulbs grow and multiply very well and that the stock increases freely from seed. The original material at Hillside was collected by Mr. Baker himself on the road from Marrakesh to Telouet, about 25 km. from the latter place, at about 2100-2400 metres altitude, in April, 1929, and again, a week later, from one of the shelters of the Morocco Alpine Club in the neighbourhood of Arround, on the lower slopes of the mountains amidst rock and vegetation.

The subject of this plate is from the eastern end of the range of the genus, being a native of the island of Formosa, just within the tropics, where A. morrisonensis Hayata and A. verticillata Fisch. are probably the only representatives of the genus. Variable, as are many members of the genus, A. morrisonensis is not a very well-defined species, as some of its forms closely approach the widespread A. polymorpha Ledeb.

The flowering season is from May to September. This species presents so distinctive and isolated a com- bination of characters that it is now often classed (e.g., by Rydberg and Pennell) as an independent section, Ambigui, of Penstemon-this must not be confused with Asa Gray's subsection Ambigui of his section Eupenstemon, which was based on the very different P. baccharifolius Hook., a species which also happens to possess a glabrous sterile filament. P. ambiguus is fairly uniform, at any rate in herbarium material, except for variation in the length of the tube of the corolla. The var. foliosus of Bentham (DC. Prodr. X. 321) was simply an undeveloped state. Of far greater importance is the question of the status of the very closely allied P. Thurberi Torr. This plant, which occurs in the southern portions of the range of P. ambiguus, has a much smaller and differently-shaped flower; the tube is only 5 mm. long or less, while the throat is much more dilated than in P. ambiguus. P. Thurberi was reduced to varietal rank under P. ambiguus by Asa Gray who said that the two were connected by a gradation of intermediates. His view has been accepted-and merely restated-by Krautter in a monograph of the genus in 1908, and more recently by Jepson and Munz in their Californian Floras; but P. Thurberi has been maintained as a distinct species by Rydberg, Tidestrom, and Wooton and Standley. At present there is no really satisfactory specimen of P. Thurberi in the Kew Herbarium, but even if there were many, the present writer would not be qualified to give an opinion on a matter which is clearly to be decided by field-work and experimental culture alone. DESCRIPTION. Suffruticose perennial, up to about 70-80 cm. high. Stems usually several from the old wood, very copiously branched especially in the upper half, the branches long, ascending or arcuate-ascending, so that the upper half of the stem assumes a candelabrum-like shape; stems and branches terete, glabrous or more or less densely minutely spreading- puberulent; internodes very numerous, short, commonly 1-2 cm. long. Leaves narrowly linear or filiform, acute or mucronate, the tips sometimes recurved-falcate, those of the main stem usually 2-3.5 cm. long, up to 1.75 mm. broad, shorter and more slender on the ascending flowering branches, A E S.R-C. F B D A, portion of stem, x 3; B, portion of peduncle and pedicel with bracts, x 4%;B C, transverse section of leaf, x 14; D, calyx, x 6; E, corolla in longitudinal section, anterior portion, showing the stamens, x 3; F, same, posterior portion, showing the sterile filament, x 3; G, gynoecium, x 6. sometimes crowded on flowerless shoots, thick, deeply channelled above, scabrous-serrulate along the cartilaginous margins, otherwise glabrous. Inflorescence a narrow graceful thyrse terminating each of the upper branches, commonly 6-10 cm., but occasionally up to 20 cm. long; rhachis and primary peduncles spreading-puberulent or glabrous; lowermost branches of the thyrse only slightly longer than the uppermost, all of them opposite and bearing simple 1-2-flowered cymes, the upper adaxial lateral flower not being developed; bracts and bracteoles like the uppermost leaves, but much shorter. Sepals glabrous, ovate-acuminate, or ovate and acute, 2-3.5 mm. long, up to 1.75 mm. broad, glabrous with conspicuous pinkish-white scarious margins. Corolla tube pinkish-purple, with conspicuous longitudinal stripes when dry, narrow, gradually widening towards the apex, typically 1.2-1.5 cm. long, sometimes shorter, up to 5 mm. broad at the apex, glabrous outside, with two longi- tudinal zones of translucent hairs along the upper half of the anterior side within; throat with similar hairs, pinkish- purple; limb obliquely rotate, obscurely bilabiate, when expanded pure white within or somewhat flushed with pink, up to about 1.8 cm. in diameter, the lobes glabrous, broadly obovate-spathulate or obovate-orbicular, very obtuse and rounded or almost truncate at the apex. Fertile stamens glabrous, the posterior pair free nearly to the base of the corolla-tube with filaments about 8 mm. long, the anterior pair with the filaments inserted at some distance (about 4 mm.) above the base of the tube, somewhat shorter than the posterior pair but considerably overtopping it; anthers glabrous, the thecae oval-oblong, divergent, about 0.75 mm. long, dehiscent from the base to the apex. Sterile (posterior) stamen glabrous, with the filament inserted about 2 mm. above the base of the tube, the free part up to 7 mm. long. Ovary ovoid-oblong, about 1.5 mm. long, glabrous; style glabrous, up to about 9 mm. long. Capsule when mature ovoid, 5-7 mm. long, up to about 4.5 mm. in diameter, attenuate into the persistent base of the style which is commonly 1.5-2 mm. long.

Trees \u0026amp; Shrubs, 531 (1927); B.O.M. in Gard. Chron. Ser. 3, LXXXVII. 285, fig. 115 (1930). The species illustrated was first collected by Augustine Henry in 1888, at Wushan, eastern Szechwan (no. 7065), and at Changyang, western Hupeh (no. 7834). Subsequently E. H. Wilson collected it during his expedition for Messrs. Veitch in 1900, first in April (no. 50) and again in November when he obtained seed at Wushan (seed no. 900), by means of which the species was brought into cultivation in this country. It has also been collected at Mengtze in south-east Yunnan by Henry, and near Yunnan-fu by Maire and by Forrest. In 1911, Dr. O. Stapf (l.c.) described the Henry and Wilson collectings from Hupeh and Szechwan as a new species closely allied to S. Hookeriana Baill., but differing essentially in its smaller stature and shorter leaves broader in proportion to their length. Three years later, Rehder and Wilson (1.c.) distinguished a new variety, var. humilis Rehd. and Wils., of S. Hookeriana, based on exactly the same collectings as Stapf's S. humilis, apparently in ignorance of his work. The plant thus came to be treated, from the taxonomic standpoint, in two different ways. On one point there is agreement; whether regarded as a species or as a variety, the plant has always been considered distinctive enough to be readily recognised, and hence it might be suggested that for practical purposes it would be more convenient to retain the binary name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eSynonyms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #fff8dc; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; border-left: 4px solid #ffa500;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 5px 0; font-style: italic;\"\u003eS.

It has since been discovered, however, in the neighbouring islands of San Miguel and Santa Rosa and on various islets and rocks near Santa Cruz, as well as on Santa Catalina and San Clemente, to the south of Los Angeles.* According to Parish writing in 1890 (l.c.), L. assurgentiflora occupied, within the memory of living men, a large part of the island of Santa Catalina, yielding only to the overstocking of it with sheep and goats. It had then either disappeared or was on the verge of extinction on all the islands used for pas- turage, persisting only on the detached rocks and islets, which are out of the way of goats and sheep. Three species of Lavatera related to L. assurgentiflora are endemic in islands off the coast of Lower California, namely, L. insularis S. Wats. from the Coronados Islands near San Diego, L. occidentalis S. Wats. from Guadalupe Island, and L. venosa S. Wats. from San Benito. All four appear to be nearly related to L. acerifolia Cav. and L. phoenicea (Webb) * Four species segregated by the late E. L. Greene (Leaflets Bot. Obs. II. 160: 1911) namely Saviniona clementina (San Clemente), S. reticulata (Santa Catalina), S. dendro- idea (San Miguel) and S. suspensa (San Diego), are tacitly reduced to Lavatera assur- gentiflora by Jepson (l.c.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eSynonyms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #fff8dc; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; border-left: 4px solid #ffa500;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 5px 0; font-style: italic;\"\u003eFl.

Since that year the plant has frequently been found, and when it was described by Mr. E. E. Galpin in 1895 five gatherings were cited. It is a common plant around Barberton and Lydenberg in the eastern Transvaal, and has been found as far north as the Pietersburg District. Sutera grandiflora has long been in cultivation in South African gardens. In 1924 it was figured in the Flowering Plants of South Africa from a specimen grown at the National Botanic Garden, Kirstenbosch. Mr. T. Hay showed plants before the Royal Horticultural Society in September, 1930, when the species received an Award of Merit as a tender flowering plant. Seed, which was received at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, from Kirstenbosch in 1932, was sown in the following February and the plants which were raised flowered in July of the same year. Unfortunately Sutera grandiflora does not ripen seed at Kew, so it is propagated by means of cuttings taken in August or March, and inserted in a propagating case under glass, where they root in about one month. Plants grown at Kew provided the material for our plate towards the end of September last year. The genus Sutera Roth, consisting of over one hundred species, is mainly confined to southern Africa, most of the species occurring in South Africa. S. grandiflora is very closely allied to S. Burkeana (Benth.) Hiern, and the flowers and habit are similar, but the latter species is smaller in all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eSynonyms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #fff8dc; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; border-left: 4px solid #ffa500;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 5px 0; font-style: italic;\"\u003eLyperia grandiflora Galpin in Bull.

The confusion in which this species has been enveloped was started so long ago as 1830 when Lindley, in describing his Eria excavata, based on material collected by Wallich in Nepal (no. 1974), included two quite distinct species, one of which was E. amica. From an examination of Lindley's herbarium it seems evident that he really meant the other plant to be E. excavata although the actual description is drawn up from specimens of both species. In 1889 Sir Joseph Hooker, in working up the genus Eria for his Indian Flora, realised the mixture present in the material of E. excavata and separated our present species as E. confusa, citing also specimens of his own collecting from Sikkim. About the same time he published the description of another species, E. Andersonii Hook. f., also from Sikkim, based upon two excellent coloured drawings in the Calcutta Herbarium, one of which had been made from a plant collected by T. Anderson. Previous to this, however, the younger Reichenbach had described in 1870 a species which he named E. amica in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eSynonyms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #fff8dc; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; border-left: 4px solid #ffa500;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 5px 0; font-style: italic;\"\u003eE. excavata Lindley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 5px 0; font-style: italic;\"\u003eE. confusa Hooker f. in Hook.

In many respects it is unsur- passed for decorative purposes, the large bunches of bright red fruits, which mature later than those of allied species, and the handsome foliage giving it a striking appearance. In a genus containing so many critical species, C. lactea is less outstanding in botanical characters. It is distin- guished from its allies in Section Chaenopetalum, namely, C. coriacea, C. glaucophylla and C. Henryana, by the large, thick, broadly elliptic leaves with the upper surface at first laxly and sparsely villous but soon glabrescent, and by the densely tomentose inflorescences and rather small fruit. In the first-named the leaves are obovate with a long-cuneate base, while in C. glaucophylla they are thin and glabrous, with a more or less glabrous inflorescence. With C. Henryana, which has lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate leaves, C. lactea readily crosses, and hybrids of the first generation, as well as intermediate segregates connecting the parent species, have been seen in several gardens. The original collector, the late Mr. George Forrest, stated in his field-notes that the plant grew in open thickets. He introduced the plant in the year 1913 under his no. 10419 collected in Yunnan where it occurs at an altitude of 2750- 3050 m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eAbout This Print\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eOriginal black and white uncolored botanical print from Curtis's Botanical Magazine (established 1787).

This section comprises approxi- mately 50 species which are native mainly to the south- western part of the Cape Province. One of the most striking features of P. Andrewsii is the great diversity in the shape of the leaves found on one and the same individual. As this species is a deciduous geophytic perennial a new crown of leaves is formed each season. The outer lowermost leaves are usually entire and only rarely show the presence of lobing, whereas the inner leaves are usually pinnately or even bipinnately lobed. The bracts subtending the branches of the scape likewise exhibit hetero- phylly, and as the latter character is frequently met with in species belonging to the above-mentioned section, the degree of lobing of the leaves is of relatively little value as a basis for classifying them.

This striking species was one of Captain F. Kingdon Ward's most interesting discoveries during his expedition to north- eastern Assam in 1928. It occurred in thickets on a steep slope at an altitude-comparatively low for a Gaultheria-of about 1500 metres. The flowers are the largest of all the known Old World species of the genus; but since they are borne in very short corymbose racemes, and hide beneath the relatively enormous ovate leaves, they are not particu- larly showy. Their greenish tint also contributes towards the camouflage. There is no perceptible scent. Gaultheria codonantha is evidently a relict endemic species comparable with Leycesteria crocothyrsos (Bot. Mag. t. 9422) and Berberis hypokerina, both now familiar to gardeners, thanks to the same indefatigable collector. Like them, it is unfortunately scarcely hardy out-of-doors in most parts of England, but succeeds well with the protection of an ordinary cool greenhouse. The ease with which plants such as these, so scarce in the wild state, may often be cultivated is indeed surprising. It seems to indicate a failure to keep pace with the rigours of competition, a lack of adaptability to environment, rather than any inherent constitutional weakness. Gaultheria codonantha is more closely related to G. nummu- laro des Don, among other Asiatic species in cultivation, than to such species as G. Forrestii Diels, G. fragrantissima Wall., G. Wardii Marq. \u0026amp; Airy Shaw, G. trichophylla Royle, etc. The well-known North American G. Shallon Pursh and its numerous New World allies are also closely related to G. codonantha, while the North Pacific sub-group comprising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eSynonyms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #fff8dc; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; border-left: 4px solid #ffa500;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 5px 0; font-style: italic;\"\u003e\"Gaultheria sp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 5px 0; font-style: italic;\"\u003e(sphalm. \"8240 \") (1933).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eAbout This Print\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eOriginal black and white uncolored botanical print from Curtis's Botanical Magazine (established 1787).

In 1929 it received an Award of Merit from the R.H.S. Mr. Elliott grows his plants in a bed in an airy greenhouse with gentle heat, a temperature of about 50 degreesF., whilst at Exbury plants succeeded under the same treatment as given to Freesias. In its native home the species flowers during October and November-the Chilean springtime-but in this country the beautifully coloured and deliciously scented flowers open in February and March. As a source of cut flowers for decorative purposes it is excellent, the buds will open after the stem is cut and the flowers last well in water. Leucocoryne ixioides is based on the Brodiaea ixioides first described and figured in this Magazine, t.2382, in 1823. Seven years later Lindley (l.c.) separated it from Brodiaea and placed it in a new genus Leucocoryne, along with two other species, L. alliacea and L. odorata, the latter being figured at t.1293 of the Botanical Register. In 1853 C. Gay (1.c.) added two more species to the genus, L. purpurea and L. angustipetala, whilst in 1860 R. Philippi added yet another species, L. narcissoides. Of the six species thus referred to the genus, Baker (l.c.) maintained three, reducing odorata and narcissoides to ixioides, and treating purpurea as a variety of the same species. He, however, added another species, L. Gayi Baker, based on Tristagma dimorphopetala Gay, but this is now retained in Tristagma, a genus similar in many respects to Leucocoryne but differing in having six fertile stamens in two series included in the perigone-tube. In 1896 R. Philippi described 9 more species; specimens have not been seen, but from the descriptions they seem to differ only very slightly from ixioides and might well be E EFERE A B A, flower in longitudinal section, x 2; B, stamen, side view, x 9; C, gynoecium, x 6; D, capsule, nat. size; E, seed, X 8. Figs D and E from a specimen in the Kew Herbarium, C. Elliott 506. included within that species, as Fuentes (l.c.) has already pointed out. A great deal of variation can be observed in cultivated plants in the number of flowers in the umbel, in their size, and in the shape of their segments, and the same is true of wild collected herbarium material. There is apparently also considerable variation in colour, from the white form, figured in Bot. Reg. t.1293 as L. odorata, to lilac mauve--the figure 2 of our plate-corresponding to the original Brodiaea ixioides of Bot. Mag. t.2382, and light purple-figure 3 in our plate which seems to be the var. purpurea of Baker. Mr. Elliott also found, in one place near Coquimbo, plants which had lilac flowers with blood-red centres. In one of A comparison of this plate and also the plate of L. odorata in Bot. Reg. t.1293, with the present plate will show that in both the earlier plates the figures had been prepared immediately the first flower opened, and before the umbel was properly developed. They thus give no real idea of the beauty or form of the plant. the white-flowered forms found near Valparaiso the whole plant has a strong odour of garlic; in all the other forms the flowers are fragrant-although the scent is said to vary- but whilst some plants smell strongly of garlic when cut or broken, in others-as, for example, the plants introduced by Mr. Elliott-there is no trace whatsoever of a garlic odour. In view of the way in which the plants grow in their native home it would be unwise even to attempt to discriminate species or varieties within this complex of forms, working on herbarium material alone, field-work is obviously essential. It therefore seems best to treat all these variations as falling within the limits of one variable species, L. ixioides. This species can readily be distinguished from the others in the genus by its larger flowers, with their broader, lanceolate or ovate to elliptic or oblanceolate perigone-segments which are more than twice the length of the staminodes. DESCRIPTION. -A bulbous herb, the flowers appearing before the leaves. Bulbs about 1.5 cm. long and 1-2 cm. in diameter, tunics pale brown, membranous. Leaves about 3 to a bulb, appearing after the flowers, very narrowly linear, acute, 16-18 cm. long, 1.5-2 mm. wide, bright green, glabrous. Scape glabrous, green, up to 41 cm. long. Spathes 2, brown, scarious, linear acuminate, 2-2.5 cm. long, 3-4 mm. wide.

Micholitz, one of Messrs. Sanders' most enterprising collectors. All the evidence points to this locality being Sarangani Island, a small island off the south coast of Mindanao in the Philippine Islands. It is known that Micholitz and other professional collectors paid visits to Sarangani to obtain the many beautiful orchids which grew there. I have seen the original specimens of B. ortho- glossum from Herrenhausen, which are preserved in the Berlin Herbarium and they are clearly identical with the plant figured in our plate. After 1896 there are no more references to this species until 1907 and the following years Figs. 1 and 2, flowering plant, nat. size; 3, apex of scape with flower in front view, nat. size; 4, labellum, in side view, x 3. November 9th, 1936. when plants were exhibited by Messrs. Sanders, Sir Jeremiah Colman and others. From that date B. orthoglossum seems to have been in almost continuous cultivation, and in 1931 a specimen received an Award of Merit at the Royal Horti- cultural Society's Show on June 2nd, the exhibitors again being Messrs. Sanders. The species is stated in various articles to be a native of the Malay Peninsula and New Guinea, but I have found no satisfactory evidence of this; on the other hand several of the plants mentioned are recorded as coming from the Philippines which is a confirma- tion of the original habitat. The accompanying drawing was made from a plant cultivated in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; unfortunately nothing certain is known of its origin, but it is possible that it may have been received from the Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin. B. amplebracteatum Teysm. \u0026amp; Binn., a native of Ceram, Amboina and Celebes, is clearly the nearest relative of B. orthoglossum. It is, indeed, possible that the two species are conspecific, but there are minor floristic differences, and in the absence of authenticated material of B. amplebractea- tum (the original specimen is at Buitenzorg in Java), it does not seem advisable to unite the two species. B. orthoglossum possesses a longer dorsal sepal, while the elongated narrow part of the lip is longer and smoother than in B. amplebractea- tum. B. klabatense Schltr. and B. Vanvuurenii J. J. Sm., both from Celebes, have long hairy or spiny outgrowths on the triangular middle-lobe of the lip; in addition, in the former species the side-lobes are entire, while in the latter the lateral sepals are not twisted at the base. B. orthoglossum thrives in a warm orchid house in a compost of Osmunda fibre, peat, charcoal and sphagnum moss. It can be grown either in a well-drained receptacle or attached to a piece of wood with a little compost around the roots and it is easily propagated by division. DESCRIPTION. An epiphyte with a short rhizome bearing closely placed pseudo-bulbs; pseudo-bulbs ovoid, 2-5 cm. long, 1.5-2.5 cm. in diameter, more or less covered by per- sistent membranous sheaths, bearing a single leaf at the apex. Leaves oblanceolate or oblong, subacute, narrowed in the lower part to form a distinct channelled petiole, total length 10-20 cm., 2.5-7 cm. broad, coriaceous, petiole 1-3 cm. long. Inflorescences arising from the base of the pseudo-bulb; erect, 20-30 cm. long, with about 3 widely- spaced tight acute sheaths on the peduncle and bearing up to 5 flowers at the apex; bracts large, more or less imbricate, ovate, acute, all conduplicate and flattened in the same plane, carinate, 1-2.5 cm. long. Flowers spreading, opening D S.R-C. B A, column, front view, anther raised to show pollinia, x 4; B, same, back view, x 4; C, same, side view, x 4%; D, pair of pollinia from the side, x 8. successively, large for the genus; pedicel and ovary 2-3 cm. long, green. Dorsal sepal more or less erect or ascending, lanceolate, acuminate, 3.5-4 cm. long, 1-1.5 cm. wide, lateral sepals projecting downwards, parallel, obliquely lanceolate, acuminate, concave and twisted inwards at the base, with a sharp keel at the base running out into a thick rib in the upper part, 4.5-5 cm. long, 0.75-1 cm. wide; all sepals yellowish-green or yellow, with numerous parallel red or brown stripes. Petals recurved, obliquely lanceolate, acuminate, 1.5-2 cm. long, 6-7 mm. wide, similar in colour to the sepals. Lip mobile, sharply recurved in the basal part, the remainder straight, distinctly 3-lobed, about 2 cm. long; side lobes more or less erect or curved forward, oblong, serrate at the apex and finely pustulate or verrucose on both sides, 2-3 mm. long; middle lobe almost smooth, consisting of a swollen cushion-like basal part with a deep channel along the centre and a pendulous narrow tongue-shaped, acute, apical part, 12-15 mm. long; side lobes pink with red spots; middle lobe a livid red shading to orange at the apex. Column short, produced at the apex into 2 subulate horns 5-7 mm. long, each with a short tooth on the inner margin towards the base, pale yellow; foot 5-7 mm. long, forming a short mentum with the lateral sepals, ochre-yellow with red spots.

In 1913 Koehne (l.c.) described this Wilson number as Sorbus munda f. subarachnoidea, and under this name the plant has become known in cultivation in this country, despite the fact that in 1917, only four years after it was published, S. munda had been reduced to another species, S. Prattii Koehne. Koehne referred to S. munda specimens collected by Wilson in Szechwan, under two numbers, designating both of them as forms to which he gave names, namely f. tatsienensis (no. 991, from Tachien-lu, woodlands at 2300-3300 m. September 1908) and, as already mentioned, f. subarachnoidea (no. 4323, from Pan-lan-shan, west of Kuan Hsien-i.e., about 160 km. N.E. of Tachien-lu-at 2600-3000 m., October, 1910).

M. subulata M. subulata has the narrowest leaves in the genus; with the margins revolute they are only three-quarters of a millimetre wide, and the narrowness is accentuated by the apex being prolonged into a tendril. The species first became known towards the end of the eighteenth century, and was described twice within two years; first in 1798 by Ruiz and Pavon, who gave it the name subulata, and again in the following year by Cavanilles, who named it M. inflexa, evidently in ignorance of the earlier work. Its nearest ally is M. Hookeri Meyen, a species based on the plant which Hooker described and figured in 1829 under the name M. linearifolia Cav. The latter had been described and figured thirty years before; it is a dwarf, erect shrub whose stems are densely clad with stiff erect leaves * Vide infra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eSynonyms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #fff8dc; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; border-left: 4px solid #ffa500;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 5px 0; font-style: italic;\"\u003eM. subulata \u0026amp; Cavanillesii Hook. \u0026amp; Arn. in Hook.

Probably all the earlier stocks in British gardens were received originally from the late W. Siehe, presumably from the Mersina district of southern Asia Minor (Cilicia). Since then the species has been collected by E. K. Balls and W. Balfour Gourlay near Fevzi Pasha, at 930 m., 12.4.34, Balls and Gourlay 767, and between Osmaniye to Fevzi Pasha, 1300 m., 15.4.35, Balls 2122. The specimens under the latter number were collected in \"thin deciduous woodland, heavy clay with only faint trace of lime.\" The material figured was grown by Dr. Gourlay, at Cam- bridge, presumably from bulbs or seeds collected near Fevzi Pasha. F. glaucoviridis belongs to the section Eufritillaria, sub- section Olostyleae, following the classification of Boissier, Flora Orientalis, v. 177 (1884). This subsection is charac- terized by the entire or very slightly trilobed style. There is no doubt that stylar characters are of considerable import- ance in the classification and identification of species of the genus Fritillaria. The stout style of F. glaucoviridis appears to be a very constant character and one that is especially useful in distinguishing both living and dried material of the species from near allies. Mature fruits with a few ripe seeds would be welcome. Immature capsules have a rather interesting structure in that two of the six wings are wider than the other four.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eSynonyms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #fff8dc; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; border-left: 4px solid #ffa500;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 5px 0; font-style: italic;\"\u003eF. viridis () Besant in Gard.

The plant from which our plate was prepared was raised in the herbaceous ground at Kew from seed sent by Mr. T. Hay. Unfortunately the plant has since been lost, but reintroduction should not prove difficult as the species is reported to be fairly common around Darjeeling and Simla. The name Herpetospermum first appeared in Wallich's \"Catalogue\" (no. 6761, Herpetospermum caudigerum Wall.), but there was no description. Bentham and Hooker* adopted the genus and attributed to it Bryonia () pedunculosa Seringe and two other species then undescribed. Some years later C. B. Clarke published three new monotypic genera, Edgaria, Warea and Rampinia, calling the single species of the last R. herpetospermoides, although he recog- nised that it was the plant known as Herpetospermum pedunculosum; he said, \"I have no hesitation in giving it a new generic name, the ovules, fruit and seeds being alto- gether unlike those of Herpetospermum as described.\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 20px;\"\u003eSynonyms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #fff8dc; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; border-left: 4px solid #ffa500;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 5px 0; font-style: italic;\"\u003eBryonia () pedunculosa Seringe in DC.

It is, of course, a well-known feature of most Rhododendrons that the terminal bud is a flower-bud and that the lateral axillary buds immediately below produce vegetative shoots. These bud-scales have apparently been gradually evolved in order to protect the embryonic flowers and leaves in winter. They are usually cast off when growth commences, though they are some- times persistent and then afford useful diagnostic characters. In most species their origin is not very evident from their structure, but in R. crinigerum it may be clearly seen that they are modified leaves. The outer scales are the smallest and are the ordinary brown dry chaffy structures common to most species. But the intermediate scales are strikingly different, being thinner and viscid with short bristly hairs on a distinct midrib, and they end in a long, sometimes quite leaf-like, acumen, showing that they are only partially modified leaves. It seems likely, therefore, that a close study of the winter-bud scales of all the species of the genus would furnish evidence of considerable importance as to their phylogeny, for the inflorescence of a Rhododendron, like that of a Composite, has no doubt arisen through the suppression of the inter- nodes and the reduction of an ordinary leafy shoot with axillary flowers. Even the small bracts which subtend the flowers themselves are equally only modified leaves. R. crinigerum is classified amongst the Barbatum series, which takes its name from that well-known species.

M. Scortechinii, however, is certainly much less close to M. javanensis than to M. succulenta, which is distinguished by its cuneate-based leaves, short few-flowered cymes and much smaller pinkish flowers. Medinilla Scortechinii is at present known only from the states of Perak and Selangor, where it occurs as an epiphyte in the dense forest at an elevation of 900-1200 metres. The plant figured was received at Kew in July, 1929, in a Wardian case, from St. Barbe, Fraser's Hill, near Kuala Lumpur. It flourishes in a stove house, in a compost of good fibrous loam, peat, leaf-soil and sand. Propagation is easily effected by cuttings of half-ripened wood, inserted either in autumn or in early spring. DESCRIPTION. An epiphytic shrub, up to 1.2 m. high. Stem terete, up to 7 mm. thick, sparsely warted, brown, glabrous; internodes 5-9 cm. long. Leaves opposite, sessile, ovate-lanceolate, less often almost elliptic, 10-22 cm. long, 2-5-8 cm. wide, base rounded or slightly cordate, apex shortly acuminate or merely cuspidate, subacute, margin entire, flat or slightly revolute, glabrous, rather coriaceous, triplinerved to the apex, often with an inconspicuous pair of nerves from the base of the midrib close to the margin, secondary nerves very slender, spreading from the midrib at a wide angle, ultimate reticulations obscure or invisible. Thyrses axillary, up to 11 cm. long and 13 cm. wide, many-flowered, bright coral red throughout; branches laxly divaricate,.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eAbout This Print\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eOriginal black and white uncolored botanical print from Curtis's Botanical Magazine (established 1787).

Camp- bellii Hook. \u0026amp; Thoms., and the two species were described together in 1855; but whereas M. Campbellii was soon brought into cultivation M. globosa remained unknown to gardeners until Forrest, in 1919, obtained specimens in the Tsarong region of south-eastern Tibet. Forrest's material (comprising his numbers 18512, 18870, and 18959), was described in 1920 as a new species, M. tsarongensis W. W. Sm. \u0026amp; Forrest, but on comparison being made with the Indian M. globosa it became apparent that here was a single species extending eastwards to Tsarong from Sikkim. Subsequent botanical activity in the intervening regions has produced additional material from Bhutan (Ludlow \u0026amp; Sherriff 192), the Mishmi Hills (Kingdon Ward 8297), and northern Upper Burma (Kingdon Ward 6887), while Handel- Mazzetti (no. 9212) and Rock (nos. 10209 and 11231) have collected the species in extreme north-western Yunnan, which appears to be the eastern limit of its range. In 1913 Rehder and Wilson (in Sargent, Pl. Wilson.

The species was subsequently collected by Forrest, Schneider, Rock and Fang on the Lichiang Range, Chuntien Plateau, Tongshan in the Yangtze bend and elsewhere in N.W. Yunnan, where it is found in dry situations in pine and mixed forests up to 3,400 m., but it does not appear to have been introduced into cultivation until raised from seed collected on Forrest's 1930-32 expedition. The specimens which formed the subject of the accompany- ing plate were grown from this source by the Marquess of Headfort, of Kells, Co. Meath. Sown in April, 1931, they flowered the following autumn and were drawn on Nov. 4th, 1932. Two shades of flower colour, blue and mauve, were borne by plants raised from the same packet of seed. Not a little confusion of names has arisen in horticultural literature, which the publication of this plate illustrating well-grown specimens of the typical plant should settle. Franchet in describing the species for the first time placed it in Sect. Pneumonanthe. Kusnezew in his monograph (1.c.) transferred it to his Sect. Frigida where it undoubtedly belongs. As however, the seeds of G. rigescens Franch. were unknown to him he left this species in Sect. Pneumonanthe. Thus it came about that these two very closely allied species are widely separated in that work. Herbarium specimens have been examined, which are in all respects intermediate between G. cephalantha and G. rigescens and are probably natural hybrids. G. rigescens differs November 9th, 1936.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5a27; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eAbout This Print\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eOriginal black and white uncolored botanical print from Curtis's Botanical Magazine (established 1787).
