A correspondent says: "The changes which the Victoria regia flowers undergo, as indicated by Dr. Richardson's gardener (p. 6) were very well shown in magnificent colored plates published in Moore's Gardeners Magazine, about 1851".

[Also the changes were noted in the letter of Mr. Robert Schumburgk, in the letter which attracted so much attention in the Gardeners' Chronicle in 1850; in Mr. Thomas Meehan's account in Downing's Horticulturist for 1852; and in the noble work with colored drawings published by John Fiske Allen, of Salem, Mass., in 1853. - Ed.
