It may not be out of place to remark here that this question of nomenclature is one that is in urgent need of the attention of the society, though it is hard to see just how it can be properh' carried on without the assist- ance of an extensive librarj^ and her- barium; the plant under note is a case in point. Mr. Falconer told me that he raised his plants from seed, this I have never been able to do; our own plants show consid- erable variation, one is much more robust than the other, and a third received from Jackson Dawson under the name of C^ robusta resembles the others in every respect except in that it is not so h:irdj', for when grown with our own plants it has all its buds above ground injured, while the others, even in February, had commenced growth and many are now in green leaf. Mr. F. says truly that the plant is in- dispensable for September work, local florists .are much pleased with it, for it is jiossible to cut sprays a yard long laden with Hawthorn-scented flowers and these are followed by prettily awned seed vessels that remain a long time on the plant. Another good point in its favor is that being a species it is not liable to the clematis disease as are the hjbrid kinds, our once extensive collection of these being completeh- exterminated by the ravages of this disease.
