. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. I094 The American Florist. Mav rS, Foreign Notes. Urceocharis Clibrani is the name of an interesting plant, a cross between Eu- charis grandiflora (better knowo as E. amazonica) and Urceolina peiidula. The flowers are white, in shape suggesting both parents, while the leaves are broad and vigorous as the cucharis. It is likely to be as useful as the eucharis, and was originated by an English firm, W. Clibran & Sons, from whom it receives its specific name. Showy improved varieties of Nemesia strumosa, sent out in England last year, are recommended as extremely showy half-hardy annuals. The flowers range from pure white through all the yellow shades to deep orange, and, from pale pink to crimson. It is very showy in a bed, and said to be useful forcutting. Begonia decora is a dwarf growing species from Penang, which received a first-class certificate from theKoyal Hort. Society. The leaves are from three to four inches in length, the midribs and veins being light green, the upper surface of the young leaves rough and bright brown, changing to a darker shade. The under surface of the foliage is a bright claret color. Senecio sagittitolius is a new species introduced into Europe from Uruguay; it has dark green leaves attaining a length of nearly three feet, with a frill-like growth along the mid-rib. The flowers are white, with a yellow disc, and are produced in huge heads, the spike often being si.\ feet high. This seems likely to make a showy addition to our subtropi- cal beds.
