Giving names to cultivated forms is not only in my line; still, if you and your correspondent would prefer a name from me, I would call this + Nymphaea Sturtevanti - retaining the symbol of the cross in mark of its originally hybrid origin; for I suppose there is no doubt that its immediate parent is a hybrid.
ASA GRAY.

This new Lily grows to the same size as its parent Nymphaea Devoniensis. It has the following distinct characteristics: The leaves are covered with peculiar indentations and curls, insead of having a smooth surface, and are of a beautiful crimson bronze color - the young ones sometimes almost crimson. The flowers are bright red, some of them a soft rose color, and present a most charming appearance at night. They are cup-shaped, like N. odorata, a form which is much more graceful than N. Devoniensis. When well grown they are from nine to eleven inches in diameter, having a greater number of petals than the parent, and may not inaptly be called double. The petals are thick and waxy, some of them measuring nearly three inches in width. The plant is a continuous bloomer, but does not produce as many flowers at a time as its parent. It will be a grand addition to any collection, especially where there is a large tank, aquarium or warm pond, affording plenty of room for its development. is a tropical nightblooming waterlily cultivar .
