Restio species, P. W. Moore.—Thisinteresting plant is named in honor oiF. W. Moore, of the Glasuevin BotanicGarden,Dublin, Ireland. It is of too re-cent introduction to figure its full char-acter; it is, however, a free grower andat some future time we hope to forwarda photo showing more of the true habitof the plant. The description from Gar-deners Chronicle is as follows: We ought to be familiar with the spe-cies of this genus, having recently mono-graphed them in the Flora Capensis, andpossibly because we do know somethingabout the genus and its allies, we hesi-tate to identity the present plant, ofwhich the sterile stem only is before is of feathery habit, the very slender. Panax Mastersiana. of a terminal one. The stalks of theleaflets or ultimate segments are 2V2inches (7 cent.) long,subangular, articu-lated at the upper third, dull reddish incolor. The blade of the leaflets is about10 inches (25 cent.) long, iy< inches (4cent.) wide, glabrous, pale green,flushedwith pink, linear lanceolate acuminate,tapering at the base; midrib reddish,prominent on both surfaces, especiallythe lower; venation arcuate;margins saw-toothed, each tooth witha small subulate spine. The descriptionhere given applies to the leaf before us,but this is a group in which diversity ofform in the foliage is specially conspicu-ous; and, doubtless, no two leaves willbe found quite similar. The plant is na-tive of the Solomon Islands, from whenceit was introduced to Messrs. Sandersnursery by Mr. Miehofltz. Pandaaus Sanderi.—.\s a decorativeplant this w
