NEW PLANTS
ANNOUNCED FOR THE FIRST TIME
BY
WILLIAM BULL, IFTIL.S.
ACALYPHA TORTA.
A free-growing stove i>lant, 'introduced from the Samoan Islands, remarkable for its curiously
contorted foliage. It has erect stems, which are terete, and covered by the leaves in a very singular
way. These leaves have a flattish dilated petiole, which, instead of being continued in the ordinary way
as a mid-rib through the centre of the limb, becomes developed laterally so ns to give the limb a decided
twist, one side being fully developed and rounded, and the other side very much reduced. The actual
outline of the blade of the leaf is semi-cordate, but this is not at all apparent from the manner in
which the leaves are twisted around the stem in various directions. The colour is a dark olive- tin ted
green, and the margin is cut into blunt oblong segments. 10s. 6 d.
ARALIA ARMATA.
A fine-looking shrubby Indian species, having erect prickly stems and long-stalked bipinnate leaves,
which give it a very elegant appearance. The leaf-stalks are prickly, like the stem, and the rachis of
the leaves is articulated. The leaflets are ovate-acuminate, membranous, serrated, and beset on both
surfaces with bristly hairs. The flowers are produced in a long downy panicle, the umbellules being
many-flowered. It is the Panax armatum of Wallich. In India, it ranges from Tavoy to Khasia and
Sikkim. 10s. M.
ARALIA E LEG ANTI SS IMA.
The elegant and ornamental foliage of this handsome Aralia is of a deep green colour shaded with
brown, the mid-rib of each leaflet being white. The. stem is erect, and furnished with digitate leaves
on long dark green foot-stalks, which are mottled with white ; the filiform leaflets, being pendulous,
Impart a very graceful character to the plant. It has been imported from the South Sea Islands, and
is a remarkably effective ornamental foliage plant. For illustration, vide page XII. 11, 2, and 3
guineas.
*** The above plant was sent out by Mr. IV. 11. after his catalogue for 1875 was published ; so that
although now catalogued for the first time, it must be considered an introduction of 1875.
ARALIA GRACILLIMA.
A single-stemmed erect-growing stove plant, of remarkably graceful habit and well adapted for
decorative purposes. The stem is furnished at close intervals with alternate leaves spreading in all
directions, of a dark green colour, with a prominent ivory-white central rib or costa, marked at frequent
intervals, where the principal lateral nerves pass off, with a short white spur. ■ The leaves, though
almost linear, really taper to a point, and they are narrowed to the base. This plant bears a considerable
resemblance to A. reticulata, but is much more elegant in all its parts. It is a native of the South
Sea Islands. 15*.
ARALIA MACULATA.
A shrubby species, having an erect stem, which, as well ns the stalks of the leaves, is of a blackish
purple hue, thickly spotted with green dots ; this colouring is very peculiar, and is, moreover, con-
spicuous. The leaves, which are of the pinnate character, are membranaceous in texture, and of a
light green colour ; they consist of about four pairs of leaflets, which are oblong-acuminate, broad, and
rounded at the base, the margins being sharply spinulose serrate. It has been recently introduced
from the South Pacific Islands. 1 guinea.

NEW PLANTS.
ARTOCARPUS CANNONI.
This remarkably ornamental plant, which is a native of the Society Islands, was first made knowm
to me by Mr. Walter Hill, of Brisbane, and was afterwards sent to me in a living state by Mr.
Henderson, of Sydney. It is, without exaggeration, one of the finest coloured-leaved plants which it
has ever been my good fortune to offer. The leaves are alternate and petiolate, the petiole and hairy
costa being of a bright red colour. The leaves are of membranous texture, with a glossy upper surface,
and of a rich full bronzy crimson hue, beautifully tinted with purple. The colouring is remarkably
rich and constant, that of the under sniface being of a bright vinous red. The form of the leaves-
varies greatly ; some are simple and cordate at the base, with the apex irregularly lobate ; some have
the apex regularly tliree-lobed, with short entire lobes ; some are deeply three-lobed, being divided
nearly to the base, the segments themselves, of which the centre one is largest, being slightly sinuate-
lobed. This variety of form, and the rich colouring of the polished surface, render this one of the-
most effective coloured-leaved plants of recent introduction. For illustration, vide page X. 7s. fid.
and 10s. 6 d. ; a few good plants, 1 guinea.
*,* The above plant was sent out by Mr. W. B. after his catalogue for 1875 was published ; so that
although now catalogued for the first time, it must be considered an introduction of 1875.
ASTROCARYUM GRANATENSE.
This distinct and elegant Palm has been introduced from the United States of Colombia. It has
brownish-looking leaf-stalks, which latter are armed with numerous scattered needle-shaped dark-
coloured spines. The leaves themselves are pinnately parted, with oblong-acuminate segments, and
the rnehis is spiny, like the petiole, both on the upper and lower surfaces. lCs. 6 d.
BATEMANNIA WALLISII.
A magnificent species, freely producing spikes about a foot in length of very large and beautiful
flowers of a reddish brown colour ; the centre of the flower is veined with bright crimson, and sur-
rounded with blotches of chocolate brown ; the lip is veined with crimson. 5 guineas.
BLANDFORDIA PRINCEPS.
This strikingly handsome greenhouse perennial gained the first prize as the best new flowering
greenhouse plant at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Exhibition in the summer of 1875. The stiff
sub-erect distichous leaves are narrowly-linear, five to eight ribbed, and with a serrulate border. The-
scape is a foot high, bearing a corymb of many flowers, which are two and a half inches long, pendent,
regularly funnel-shaped, with a bright crimson tube and deep golden yellow' erect limb. It must be-
regarded as the most beautiful of the Blandfordias yet known. It has been figured in the Botanical'
Magazine for January, 1876, tab. 6209. For illustration, vide page XIII. 1J and 2 guineas.
BRAHEA F1LAMENTOSA.
This new Palm has been introduced from Lower California ; it will succeed admirably in the-
greenhouse, and may probably prove hardy in some sheltered localities. It is of graceful habit and.
quick growth. The leaves arc palinatifid, with numerous divisions and whitish filaments ; the leaf-
stalks are long, with brownish yellow spines. 3s. 6 d. and 5s.
BRUGMANSI A COCCINEA.
This desirable novelty has been discovered by that indefatigable collector, Mr. G. Wallis, in the-
United States of Colombia. It, like others of the family, is of easy growth, and, from the attractive
character of its blossoms, is a valuable acquisition. The fiow'ers are light bright scarlet, which showy
colour, together with their large size, renders the plant an exceedingly effective object. 10s. 6 d.
CARUMBIUM POLYANDRUM.
A fine-looking stove plant, of erect-growing shrubby habit, with a glabrous terete stem. The leaves
arc alternate, with purplish petioles ; the leaf-blades, which are broadly-ovate in outline, are of a clear
glaueescent green above, and of a rich vinous purple beneath. The clear, smooth, unstained surface
is a very beautiful example of soft waxy colouring. The plant has been introduced from Lord Howe’s.
Island. 1 guinea.
CHAM/4EDOREA FORMOSA.
A very elegant and graceful Palm, introduced through Mr. Carder, from Tolima, South America:.
It belongs to the pinnate-leaved series. The petiole is smooth, with two channels on the face. The
segments of the pinnately-parted leaves are very numerous, alternate, linear-lanceolate, eighteen
inches long and three and a quarter inches wide, and drawn out into a very long thread-like point
these segments are set on to the rachis along the two channels or furrows above alluded to, and being,
very numerous, the whole plant has a strikingly elegant aspect. For illustration, vide page IX. , 10s. 6 d. .
NEW PLANTS.
COPROSMA BAUERIANA PICTURATA.
A free-growing greenhouse plant from New Zealand, differing from the C. Bancriana variegata in
having central instead of marginal variegation. The leaves are ovate and bluntly rounded, and they
have a smooth surface of pale green, marked with blotches of pale yellow and creamy-white, spreading
■out from the mid-rib on one or both sides, and assuming a variety of grotesque forms. 10s. 6 d.
CRINUM ORNATUM RUBRO-VITTATUM.
This beautiful Amaryllid, which has been imported from Brazil, somewhat resembles C. ornatmn,
but the blossoms instead of being striped and flushed witli purple are white with a rosy crimson band
along each segment. The flowers, which are freely produced in large umbels, arc sessile, nodding, with a
slender curving tube, and a eampanulate limb, the segments moderately spreading, white, with a band
•or broad stripe of deep rosy crimson down the centre, evident on both surfaces. The brilliant and pleasing
colouring, and the abundant flowers give the plant a very ornamental character. 10s. 6 d..
*** The above plant was sent out by Mr. W. B. after his catalogue for 1875 was published ; so that
•although now catalogued for the first time, it must be considered an introduction of 1875.
CROTON BISMARCKI.
A distinct and handsome form of Croton, one of the recent types introduced from the South Sea
Islands, approaching to but distinct from the hastate group. The leaf is in fact almost panduriform
■or fiddle-shaped, with the basal half broadest and obovate, the middle part narrowed, and the apex
again swollen out into an ovate form, but not attaining the breadth of the basal part. The colour is a
deep green, with a broad band of golden yellow along the costa, and yellow markings indicating the
course of the lateral veins, in addition to which a few slight yellow blotches are scattered over the
•surface. 2 guineas.
CROTON CONCINNUS.
This is a very desirable variety of Croton, one of the latest importations from the South Sea Islands.
It is of close habit, particularly neat and chaste in its aspect, regular and well-marked as to variega-
tion. The leaves are lanceolate, flat, from 5 to 9 inches long, the course of the mid-rib being marked
by a well-defined broad yellow band, from which the principal lateral veins branch out in thin yellow
lines, becoming more or less reticulately united near the edge. Ultimately the yellow rib and trans-
verse lines, which are all well-defined, become changed to crimson, so that the colouring is as rich as
the plant is neat in habit. guinea.
CROTON CONTORTUS.
A very curious member of the great Croton family. The variegation is here less marked than in
most of the other cultivated forms, but the variety of character assumed by the leaves is most remarkable.
The leaf-blades are in their general form narrow and elongated, but in some cases they are very much
undulated at the margin, in others they are spirally twisted, and in others again they are narrowed as
well as undulated, and partially twisted, the degrees in which these changes take, place being various.
The apex of the leaf is rounded, the mid-rib or costa being excurrent in the form of a short thread
before it reaches the apex. 1 guinea.
CROTON IMPERIALS.
This is a remarkably fine form of Croton, from the New Hebrides. The leaves are very stout in
texture, very unequal in length, bluntly rounded at the apex, and with the mid-rib excurrent in the
form of an awl-shaped horn about an inch below the apex. Most of the leaves are twisted, the twisting
■occurring in various degrees, but it is usually as if the upper half of the leaf had been turned half
sound while the other portion had been fixed in the normal position. The course of the mid-rib, which
takes on a crimson hue, is marked by a broader golden band, and the margin is coloured with crimson
at the extreme edge, and within that by a broken line of yellow. The surface of the leaves is also
mottled with yellow and red. The colouring of the foliage is very effective. For illustration, vide
page IV. 1J guinea.
*** The above Croton was sent out by Mr. \V. B. after his catalogue for 1875 was published ; so that
although now catalogued for the first time, it must bo considered an introduction of 1875.
CROTON MACAFEEANUS.
This is a very broad-leaved variety of Croton, and is a plant of remarkably free growth. The leaves
are oblong, ovate, transversely marked near the centre with a system of mottled blotching extending
from the mid-rib half way to the edge. The leaves are marked with distant but distinct yellow spots.
It has been named in honour of a gentleman who is a celebrated amateur and patron of horticulture at
the Antipodes , and who probably possesses the best and most complete collection of the Codheum
family extant. 1£ guinea.

NEW PLANTS.
CROTON MORTII.
A strong-growing, robust, and finely-marked addition to this now comprehensive family. The leaves-
are large, oblong-elliptic or obovate, broadest on the upper half, acute or shortly acuminate at the
apex, and narrowed to an acute base ; they are of a very dark green colour, the costa being marked out
by a band of golden yellow a quarter of an inch wide, and all the principal veins also being broadly
marked with yellow ; these latter markings meet near the edge, where there is a variegation ot broken
reticulated golden lines. The intermediate spaces are freckled with yellow dots, 11 guinea.
CROTON PICTURATUS.
.V handsome and distinct variety of the polymorphous Codiajuni or Croton, which has been obtained
from the New Hebrides. It is highly-coloured and effective, as well as curious in its development.
The older leaves are some 18 inches long, and about an inch broad, somewhat irregular at the edge,
and with a tendency towards spiral contortion. The mid-rib is bright red, and the surface is marked
throughout in an irregular blotchy manner with clear yellow passing to red. In certain stages of
growth leaves of a different character are produced ; there is, for example, an oblong leafy peltate base,
from the back of which the costa is continued like an excurrent thread, at the end of which is appended
another elongate leafy portion, having a cupped or peltate base. The form ot these parts is variable.
For illustration, vide page Yl. 2 guineas.
CROTON ROYAL PRINCE.
.V dense-habited variety from the South Sea Islands. The branches are well furnished with broad
short obovate leaves, in which the costa is yellow, and the lateral veins indistinctly so, while the
surface is freely blotched in every part with bright lemon yellow, producing a variegation somewhat
resembling that of the well-known Aucuba. It is a distinct and effective variety. 1^ guinea.
CROTON SPLENDIDUS.
A very handsome variety, introduced from the New Hebrides. It is in some respects like
C. rnajcsticus , for though altogether shorter in the leaves, it takes on the same rich crimson and yellow
colouring, here and there relieved by a golden patch. The leaves are ligulate or strap-shaped, drooping*
in the older ones very dark purplish green, with a crimson mid-rib and a line of yellow' on each side*
the red ; occasionally there are transverse yellow veins near the edge. I he edge is sometimes plane*
sometimes undulated, and not unfrecjuently the lamime is spirally twisted for tw r o or three turns.
Sometimes the colour is bronze green with a red costa. The handsomest form of variegation it assumes
is a bronzy ground colour, with a yellow rib, having a red line down the centre, and slender lateiai
veins, yellowish red above and below. 2 guineas.
CROTON TRILOBUS.
In this we have the type of an entirely new race of Crotons, having lobatc leaves, and therefore quite
distinct from those already familiar in gardens. The present is the first of this type which was
offered in commerce. The leaves are from 9 to 10 inches long, the low'er third of their length being
from 2J to 3 inches wide, narrowing downwards towards the petiole ; tiiis broader portion forms in
some cases a rounded shoulder, in others a short lobe ; the middle portion of the leaf is nail owed, the
sides being nearly parallel towards the base, but tow'ards the shortly acuminate apex again bulging out
slightly, so that this portion becomes broadest upwards. The more perfectly formed leaves have, in
consequence, a kind of hastate or halberd-shaped outline, but with an elongated base. The costa and
principal veins are marked out by lines of golden yellow, and the leaves are variously leticulated and
spotted w'ith the same on a green ground ; the veins themselves eventually take on a crimson hue, and
the same is extended to the spots, while more or less of the orange tint, caused by the blending of the
yellow’ and red, becomes suffused over the surface, and the underside is of a uniform wine-red in the
mature stages. It is a thoroughly distinct and remarkably handsome addition to our collection of
ornamental-foliaged plants. For illustration, vide page Y. 2 guineas.
The above Croton was sent out by Mr. W. B. after his Catalogue for 1875 was published so
that although now catalogued for the first time, it must be considered an introduction of 18/5.
CROTON TRILOBUS ALBERTI.
This is one of the hastiforous forms of Croton which has been recently introduced from the Islands of
the South Sea. In the present form the leaves are wedge-shaped at the base, with a pair of lateral
lobes, produced at different points in different leaves, but within the lower half of the leaf, the
middle lobe being oblong-spathulate, bulged near the end, and terminating in a short acute point, the
middle and lateral veins are yellow, while a few yellow dots are scattered aberrantly here and tlieie
over the surface— this yellow colouring passing to red as it acquires age and exposure. 2 guineas.

CROTON TRILOBUS DISRAELI.
A handsome variety, bearing long-stalked leaves, widening upwards from a wedge-shaped base, and
diverging usually into a pair of nearly opposite and equal basal lobes, but sometimes unequally
developed, one or other of the lobes being reduced to a roundish shoulder ; above this they are
contracted, and then near the apex they are somewhat widened again, and then narrowed to an acute
point ; they are nearly or quite 2 feot long, and have the costa and most of the ribs of a golden yellow,
with scattered spots of the same colour. These yellow markings take on a crimson tint on full exposure,
like most of the other kinds. 2 guineas.
CROTON TRILOBUS LORD CAIRNS.
A fine variety of the three-lobcd section of Codhcum, with rich green foliage spotted with yellow,
the mid-rib also being yellow ; the leaves are wedge-shaped at the base, with two lateral lobes in the
lower half of the leaf. The long middle lobe is broader at the end, and terminates in a short acute
point. 2 guineas.
CROTON TRILOBUS TRAVELLER.
One of the three-lobed or liastiferous varieties of Croton, having, like the rest of that series, leaves
with a long central and two short lateral lobes. These leaves are of a dark green colour, and are
marked by a yellow mid-rib and a few yellow scattered spots. It was imported from the South Sea
Islands. 2 guineas.
DIEFFENBACHIA AMABILIS.
A dwarf-growing stove plant imported from Tolima, in the United States of Colombia. The leaves
are large and bold, and veiy thick in texture. The leaf-blades are obovate-acuminate, with a glossy
surface, the colour in tho younger leaves being a bright green mottled with yellow-green, the blotches
being most on the anterior half. The plant is remarkable also for its very thick costa, which at the
base is more than lialf-an-inch across, and tapers rapidly upwards. 15s.
DIEFFENBACHIA FLAVO-VIRENS.
A well-marked stove plant, with erect, fleshy, but rather slender stems, of the type usual in this
genus. The leaves have a longish petiole, the blade is oblong-lanceolate cuspidate, covered over
nearly the whole surface with yellow green, the extreme edge here and there a small blotch, and the
fine veins of the outer half all being of a dark bottle green. This marking produces near the edge a
kind of striate reticulation of dark green on the paler yellow green ground. The under surface is also
striately venose. It is a native of Colombia. 15s.
DIEFFENBACHIA ILLUSTRIS.
'A stout-habited stove plant of noble character, having erect stems, which bear bold and finely
marked leaves. The blade is large, oblong ovate, distinctly cordate at the base, marked all over with
irregular blotches of yellowish green, and with a tendency to become yellow along the course of the
principal ribs. It is a native of the district of Tolima in the United States of Colombia. 15s.
DIEFFENBACHIA LANCEOLA.
This will form a little gem for those who have but limited stove accommodation, being of small
growth as compared with the ordinary forms of Dieffenbachia. The leaf-blades are five to eight inches
long, lanceolate or somewhat faleato-lanceolate, of a dark green, with a narrow feathery central silvery
band, spreading a little on each side the costa. It is a pretty miniature form amongst the more stately
members of this interesting family of stove plants ; and has been introduced from the United States of
Colombia. 15s.
DIEFFENBACHIA MACULOSA.
A stove plant of moderate stature, introduced from tho United States of Colombia. It has the usual
habit of other Dicffenbachias, the leaf-stalks being of a grayish green, margined and stem-clasping for
about two-thirds of their length, semi-terete above, and the blades being oblong acuminate, rounded
but not narrowed to the base, deep green, blotched on the central part with irregular patches of
creamy white. 15s.
DIEFFENBACHIA VITTATA.
A perfectly distinct and very effective stove plant, the leaf-blades lanceolate, somewhat oblique,
drooping when mature, tho surface of a grayish green, marked on each side the yellow green mid-rib
with a narrowish feathery band of silver about three-fourths of an inch broad in the centre of the
space between the costa and the margin. This has been imported from tho district of Tolima, in the
United States of Colombia. The distinct character of the marking, and the unusual form and drooping
position assumed by the leaves, mark this out as a valuable addition to our collections of ornamental,
leaved plants. 15s.

The leaves are erect, broadly lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, upwards of a foot in length, and of a
bronzy green colour, flushed with rosy purple, the blades freely streaked with bright carmine rose ; the
petioles are margined with purplish rose, and the back of the costa is of the same cheerful colour. It
has been Certificated both by the Royal Horticultural and the Royal Botanic Societies, and is really a
very fine and attractive plant, 14 guinea.
DRAC/ENA ROSACEA.
A compact-habited dense-growing vartety with gracefully recurving leaves, which are oblong-acuminate
in form, of a dark bronzy green colour broadly margined with bright pink ; some of the younger leaves
being almost entirely of a light creamy pink colour. 1 guinea,

bright rose. 1 guinea.
DRAC/ENA VIRGINALIS.
An elegant-growing variety with long narrowish acuminate leaves of a light bright green colour
distinctly margined with pure white. The elegant arching habit of this variety renders it exceedingly
ornamental. 1 guinea.
EUCHARIS CANDIDA.
No plant among my recent introductions has been so puzzling as this. It has been received from
one of my collectors in the United States of Colombia as a new species. On its flowering, however,
it proves to be identical with the plant figured and described by Planchon as Eucharis Candida. But
the plant at present in cultivation as E. Candida is not the same which Planchon figured. That now
offered quite agrees with this figure ; for, as well shown in Planchon’s plate, it has ovate-oblong long-
necked bulbs instead of small globular neckless bulbs, as in the plant now in gardens. The foliage of
the two plants is also altogether dissimilar, the true E. Candida having a leaf with a long flat petiole,
and a broadly elliptic-acuminate curved blade, decurrent at the base. The scape is compressed,
bearing an umbel of several nodding flowers, which have a slender decurved tube about two inches
long ; the yellowish tinted corona funnel-shaped and projecting about an inch, the lobes suddenly
contracting into short awl-shaped filaments.
This Eucharis will be an universal favourite, the blossoms are so extremely chaste and beautiful, of
waxy whiteness, and the segments so elegantly recurved. For illustration, aide page XVI. 10s. 6d.

ERANTHEMUM TRICOLOR.
A free-growing stove plant, of the soft-wooded section, introduced from the islands of the South
Pacific Ocean. Its stems are terete, and of a brownish purple colour. The leaves are opposite al-
ternate and oblong-obovate. The colour is olive green, blotched very irregularly with grayish purple and
salmony pink, the tints being varied more or less according as the colours are here and there differently
blended. The tendency of the marking is, however, for the older leaves to be mottled with purple,
and the younger ones to assume more of the salmony tint. For illustration, vide page II. 10s. 6 d.
FICUS ROEZLII.
A stout-growing South American stove plant. The leaves are rounded at the base, acuminate at the
apex, leathery in consistence, of a dark green colour above, and on the under side beautifully
reticulated, the costa, principal veins, and all the minute reticulations of the venation being distinctly
marked out by lines of deep wine-red colour. 10s. <Sd.
GEONOMA CARDERI.
A splendid stove Palm from the United States of Colombia, of a very ornamental character, with
strongly ribbed leaves. The petioles of the leaves are without spines, fiat on the upper, and rounded
and asperous on the lower face, with the angles acute. The lamince is pinnately parted, the segments
unequal in rvidth, varying from about half an inch to two and a half inches broad, while the upper part
is confluent into abroad bilobed apex. It has been named in compliment to one of Mr. W. B.’s
collectors, who discovered and sent it to this country. For illustration, vide page I. 10s. 6 d.
GRIFFINIA ORNATA.
A beautiful new winter-blooming . bulbous plant from Brazil. It has elliptic-oblong leaves, the
margins so much recurved that a cross section would almost describe a semi-circle. The flower-scape
is from a foot to a foot and a half high, and bears an umbel of about two dozen flowers, which forms a
spreading head of some eight or nine inches across. The flowers are of a delicate bluish lilac, fading
off to nearly white, and remaining for a considerable period in .beauty. It is a valuable acquisition
among our handsome flowering bulbous plants. For illustration, vide page XIV. 1 guinea.
GUSTAVI A GRACILLIMA.
This magnificent plant was discovered in the United States of Colombia by M. lioezl. It has a
smooth slender woody stem, clothed with elongate linear-lanceolate acuminate leaves, undulated and
sharply serrated on the margin. The flowers grow from the axils of the leaves in the young plants,
and from the older leafless parts of the trunk in older ones ; they are solitary or in pairs, 4 inches in
diameter, of a charming rose colour, consisting of eight obovate oblong petals, with the yellow
ancurved-stamined tube bearing numerous densely packed purple anthers, in a ring of an inch or
more across. It is one of the grandest and most remarkable flowering plants of recent introduction.
It was figured in the Botanical Magazine for March, 1875, Tab. 6151. For illustration, vide page VII.

HIBISCUS (ROSA SINENSIS) BRILLIANTISSIMA.
A superb variety with large single flowers of the richest and most brilliant crimson scarlet, flushed
with orange. The flower is fully 5J inches across, spreading almost flat, but having a short funnel-
shaped base formed by the convergence of the bases of the petals, which are in that part stained with
a deeper crimson, and overlapping each other so that they form a circular flower. 10s. 6 d.
ISOLOMA MOLLIS.
A pretty stove Gesneraceous plant, of soft shrubby habit, introduced from South America. The
flowers are produced in the axils of the leaves on long red pedicels ; the corolla being tubular, about

the five rounded limb-segments are yellow, spotted with crimson, the throat being also spotted. 5s.
IXORA REGINA.
An extremely attractive and distinct variety, freely producing large dense trusses very full of pips,
which are of a rich violet salmon colour. It is of a dwarfer and more compact habit than/. IVil-
liamsii, and the flowers are of a deeper shade of colour ; the trusses are ol somewhat similar shape to
those of /. coccinea, but the plant is much more compact in growth than that variety. It is a most
superb and effective flowering plant. For illustration, vide page XI. 15s. and 1 guinea.

MACROPIPER EXCELSUM AUREO-PICTUM.
A low-growing densely branched evergreen aromatic greenhouse plant, a native of New Zealand. It
has terete steins, furnished with numerous ovate-cordate leaves, which have the surface marked by five
to seven depressed lines representing the principal nerves ; they are somewhat wavy at the edge, green,
marked with an irregular blotch of creamy yellow extending more or less from the base upwards.
The petioles have the usual peculiar sheathing stipule, which becomes unfolded and forms a curious
looking wing at the base of the leaf-stalks. The leaves of the green-leaved type are used to cure
tooth-ache. For illustration, vide page XV. 1 guinea.
MECONOPSIS WALLICHII.
A charmingly beautiful Poppy-wort of perennial duration, which, though cultivated at Kew some
time since, is not now to be found in commerce. It is a native of the Sikkim Himalaya, where it
was gathered by Ur. Hooker who sent seeds to the Royal Gardens. 1 ts large drooping flowers arc arranged
on an elongated leafy raceme ; they are two inches across, and of a pale clear blue colour, a dense ring
of orange yellow stamens surrounding the ovary occupying the centre. Though a perennial plant, it
is probable that like many others of the order, it may have a tendency to die out if not frequently re-
newed from seed. 10s. 6 d.
ODONTOGLOSSUM CIRRHOSUM.
This superb new Odontoglossum has been imported from Ecuador, and is a much more handsome

PHYLLANTHUS ATROPURPUREUS.
This is a native of the South Sea Islands, and forms a slender growing stove plant. In habit andi
aspect it is the counterpart of I\ nivosus , having similar terete stems, which are of a purplish hue, and
furnished with rich dark purple leaves, which are bluntly ovate in form. The plant is deciduous
during the resting season, and puts forth its new leaves at first of a dark green colour, but the purple
hue is soon developed under the influence of light, and the plants then become robed in purple.

West Indies. 10s. 6a.
POLYGONUM TOMENTOSUM.
A perennial herbaceous plant, native of India, and hence requiring the protection of a greenhouse in
winter. It will be useful for sub-tropical gardening during the summer, since it has large oblong-
lanceolate leaves, which are very much attenuated at the apex, and are covered on both surfaces, but
especially beneath, with grayish cottony hairs. The flowers are of a clear rosy pink, and grow in erect
spike-formed panicles at the tips of the branches. 10s. 6 d.
PTERODISCUS SPECIOSUS.
A handsome greenhouse perennial, requiring full exposure to sunlight. It has large globose tuberous
roots, the upper part of which is elevated above the earth, producing from its summit a stem which
divides into several erect thick branches, reaching 2 feet high, furnished with opposite sinuate dentate
leaves, and bearing showy flowers in the axils of the leaves. These flowers are large, with a funnel-
shaped tube, and a spreading nve-lobcd limb of a beautiful lilac or reddish purple colour, rendering
the plant well worthy of cultivation for its ornamental qualities. It flowers during the early part of
the summer. This species has been collected and sent from South Africa by Mr. Nayloi, an
amateur much interested in horticultural pursuits. For illustration, vide page III. 10s. 6d.

ALPINIA VITTATA.
This variegated perennial, from the South Sea Islands, is very striking, the underground rhizome
producing erect pseudostems (formed by the clasping sheaths of the leaves), and these supporting
several leaves, which are 6 to 8 inches long, elliptic-lanceolate, tapering off to a long line point, and
also narrowed gradually towards the sheathing base ; they are pale green, and marked by broad stripes
of dark green and of creamy white, running off from the mid-rib in divergent lines corresponding to
the venation. Being variously marked, the leaves have a pretty effect, the yellow colour in some, and
pale green and dark green in others, here and there preponderating. 7s. 6d. and 10s. 6c?.

CAMPSIDIUM FILICIFOLIUM.
A free-growing slender woody climber, from the Fiji Islands, and referred doubtfully to Camp-
sidium, from the analogy of its foliage. It has opposite imparipinnate leaves, which are about
5 inches long, including a petiole of 1 inch, and consist of about twelve pairs of leaflets, which are
small, ovate, deeply cut into two or three lobes on each side, the larger lobes being sometimes also
toothed. The leaves, from their size and form, are strongly suggestive of fronds of some small-growing
pinnate Asplcnium, A. viride for example. The growth and general character of the plant aro so
elegant that whether cultivated as a small pot plant, trained on globular or other trellises, or planted
as a climber, it has a most charming and engaging appearance. The flowers aro as yet unknown. It
lias received First Class Certificates both from the Koyal Horticultural and Royal Botanic Societies.

CROTON MAJESTICUS.
One of the finest of this now extensive and varied family of ornamental-leaved stove plants. It is of
free-growing and hold habit, though the leaves are narrowish and elongate ; when mature they arc.
from 15 to 18 inches in length, including a petiole of about 2 inches long. They are linear in form,
acute or sometimes bluutish, in the young growth deep green, with golden rib, and markings repre-
senting venation, hut more or less confluent. In the older and more matured foliage the green takes
on a deep olive hue, while the yellow portions change to deep crimson, the intermediate leaves being
coloured in an intermediate manner. The regularly-drooping elongate leaves give the plant a very
elegant character, which is greatly enhanced by its rich tints of colour. This was imported from the
South Sea Islands. It has received a First Class Certificate from the Floral Committee of the Royal
Horticultural Society. 10s. 6(7., 15s., and 1 guinea.

CROTON SPIRALIS.
This is a very distinct and effective variety, both on account of its form and colouring. The [spiral
twisting of tho leaf blade, which has suggested its name, is very marked and very constant. The
leaves are from 9 to 12 inches long, and about an inch wide, deep green, with a broad golden yellow
bar up the centre, the green margin twisting spirally around the golden bar, some leaves being partially
spiral and partially undulate. The older leaves become a deep bronzy green, almost purple, and the
mid-rib a deep crimson. One <?f the very best of the Crotons for ornamental purposes. It has been
imported from the South Sea Islands, and was awarded a First Class Certificate by the Floral
Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society. 10s. 6 d., 15s., and 1 guinea.

DIPLADENIA BREARLEYANA.
This splendid variety of Dipladenia will make one of the best exhibition plants extant. It is of
fiee. growth, and of the most floriferous character, in this respect greatly exceeding any other Dipla-
denia. It is an evergreen stove climber of the very first rank, and is furnished with opposite oblong
acute dark green leaves, which serve as a fine contrast for the superbly coloured, flowers, which are of
the largest size, opening pink and changing to the richest crimson colour ; they have, moreover, this
peculiarity, that the colour increases in intensity with the age of the flowers. Beautiful as were the
Dipladenias of some few years since, they have been quite eclipsed by the improved varieties which
have been obtained, and amongst these D. Brearlcyana is certainly the most distinct and beautiful.
It lias been awarded a First Class Certificate by the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural
Society. For illustration, vide page 32. 1$, 2, and 3 guineas.

white flakes, passing through pale pink to deep rose. The older leaves frequently become flushed with
rose. The leaf-stalks are prettily edged with pink. One peculiarity of this variety which adds very

breaking out freely in the young leaves into white, which is most prominent near the base of the leaf,
and extends upwards irregularly. These variegated portions take on, as the leaves gam age a deep
bright rosy tint, so that in the leaves of different ages the rosy hue is variously blended with the
white. It is a remarkably fine plant, quite an acquisition to our choicest collections of stove plants.

coloured portion being broadest towards the base of the leaf, where the bordering is a quarter of a n
inch wide, and of a fine rosy crimson hue, the mid-rib and veins being flushed with the same colour.
It appears remarkable amongst the red variegated series for its erect and finely pointed leaves. The
petioles are four to five inches long, with a red convergent margin. It has been obtained from the
Fiji Islands. 15s. and 1 guinea.
DRAC/CNA SHEPHERD1I.
A noble form of Draccena, and one of the finest yet in cultivation. It was first shown, and received
a First Class Certificate, under the provisional name of D. gloriosa; but it is so thoroughly distinct,
and such a magnificent ornamental plant, that Mr. W. 11. has given the specific name in compliment
to his esteemed correspondent, Mr. Shepherd, the well-known nurseryman of Sydney.
Unlike most of the forms already known, which colour principally on the free young growth, this
plant takes on its distinctive colouring gradually on the older leaves, the young ones being green,
and showing paler green stripes on those parts which take on at a later period the peculiar bronzy
orange hue. It is very free-growing, of ample proportions, the broad oblong linear leaves being
arranged in a distinctly spiral manner, and the channelled marginate petioles tinted at the edge with
the same bronzy orange colour. For illustration, vide page 36. 7s. 6d. mul 10s. 6 d.

green, breaking out in the young growth into bright rosy carmine, the petiole and base of the leaves
margined with the same colour. The brighter colouring appears sometimesm stripes, and sometimes
occupies the whole surface, while the recurved character of the densely set foliage gives the plant a
flat, almost table-like head. It has been imported from the South Sea Islands. It was awarded a

ERYTHRINA PARCELII.
A very handsomely variegated-leaved stove plant from the South Sea Isles. It has a stoutisli woody
stem, furnished with alternate leaves, the petioles of which are fully 6 inches long, and support three
leaflets, the middle one of which has a footstalk of 1 to 2 inches in length, and the lateral ones a stalk
of half-an-inch in length. The leaflets are upwards of 5 inches long, sub-rhomboidal, more or less
acuminate, and narrowed in a somewhat angular manner towards the base. The variegation is yellow,
sometimes forming a featlier-like stripe along the costa and main veins, sometimes more suffused, and
forming a band an inch wide, in which case the lateral veins take on more colour, and the coloured
line becomes again branched ; when at its fullest colouring, the centre of the leaf is mottled with
yellow. There is a peculiar thickening of the petiole with glands just below each of the leaflets. The
leaves are strikingly ornamental in character. The flowers are very attractive, of a bright cinnabar
red colour. For illustration, vide page 39. 15s. and 1 guinea.

GODWINIA GIGAS.
This is the largest Aroid, both in leaf and flower, of which we have as yet any precise knowledge.
It was discovered by Dr. 15. Seemann, near to the Javali mine, in the Chonthles Mountains of
Nicaragua. It produces only a solitary leaf, and after that has died oil' the flower spathe makes its
appearance, both leaf and spathe being of gigantic dimensions. The petiole has a beautifully mottled
metallic surface, brimstone yellow, barred and striped with purple, giving it the appearance of a snake
standing erect. The leaf-blade is green on both sides, and divided into three primary sections, which
are again repeatedly sub-divided. The flower spathe is of a thick leathery texture, outside of a dark
bluish brown, and inside of a dark brownish red, with the exception of the base and those parts
surrounding the spadix, which are whitish yellow. 10s. Orf. and 15s.

HERNANDIA SONORA.
A vigorous-growing stove plant, of upright habit, and furnished with ovate-acuminate peltate leaves,
placed alternately on the stem, and when of mature age about 6 inches long. The leaves are of a
palish green colour, and at the point opposite the attachment of the petiole they have on the upper
surface a conspicuous crimson spot. The margin of the leaves is entire, and they are attached by
longish petioles. Young plants of moderate height make effective subjects for dinner tables and other
decorative uses. The flowers are yellowish, moncecious, growing in panicled masses. The juice of
the leaves of this Hcrnandia is a powerful depilatory, destroying hair wherever applied without pain.

MARANTA MAKOYANA.
A lovely dwarf-growing stove perennial, belonging to the front rmk of plants with ornamental

by the veins, which form narrow divergent dark green lines, between which the pallid surface appears
as if minutely striate ; when closely examined, however, it is found to be barred transversely with
minute green lines. The pale centre of the leaf, on each side of the mid-rib, is ornamented by oblong,
often stipitate, blotches, of a deep full green, and from 1 to 2 inches long, the larger and smaller
markings frequently alternating. The under surface is a wine-red, deeper opposite the darker markings

MARCGRAAVI A PARADOXA.
This name is provisionally applied to a very remarkable stove creeping-stemmed perennial, sent from-
Nicaragua by the late Dr. Seemann as a species of Marcgraavia, but which under cultivation has very
much more the aspect of a Pothos, and may possibly prove to be an entirely new genus. The stems-
cling firmly to the surface against which they are placed, by means of the strong roots which issue
from their nodes opposite the alternately distichous leaves, the latter having a sheathing petiole, and
an unequal-sided cordate acuminate limb, which is 4 inches long, and as much in breadth, reticulatcly
veined, membranous, as well as minutely undulate-crisped at the edge, and of a deep green colour, as-
also are the stems. The clinging habit gives the plant a remarkable and interesting appearance.
MEDINILLA AM ABILIS.
A remarkably showy stove plant, introduced from Java, and having the general habit of M. magnified,
but with erect pyramidal panicles of large rosy peach flowers. The stem is quadrangular, the angles
being furnished with a narrow undulated wing ; and the leaves are opposite, sessile, obloim-obovate
obtuse with a short acuminate point, a foot long, and 7 to 8 inches broad. The flowers grow in large
panicles, which are erect, and composed of four-branched whorls, the branches each forming a cyme of
numerous rosy pink flowers, which measure two inches across, the unexpanded buds being of the
same delicate pink colour, and having a waxy appearance. A grand stove plant of the flowering
sub-division. 1£ and 2 guineas.

NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE STOVE PLANTS.
PHYLLANTHUS NIVOSUS.
This is a deeidous stove shrub from the New Hebrides Group. It is of free branching habit, and
clothed with alternate leaves, which are frequently almost entirely covered with a mottling of white,
but in some cases partially veined with green. The flowers are curious, as are those of many other
Euphorbiacccc, being solitary in the leaf axils, broadly bell-shaped, nodding, green, about a quarter of
an inch broad. The chief cultural interest of the plant, however, resides in the colour of its leaves,
which, when well developed, give the plant the appearance of a sheet of snow— whence the name nivosm.
The women of the Island of Tempi (one of the New Hebrides Group) use the sprays of snow-white
foliage of this plant for the adornment of their dark tresses; and it is certainly a beautiful selection,
showing their taste in head-dresses. It has received First Class Certificates from the Royal HoiticuL-
tural and Royal Botanic Societies. 7s. 6 d. and 10s. 6 d.
PHYLLOT/ENIUM LINDENI,
A fine Arnceous stone perennial, remarkably distinct in character. It is a rhizomatous plant with
acrid milky juice, and persistent foliage, the leaves bearing a very ornamental aspect. The petioles,
are green, erect, from to 2 feet long, surmounted by the glabrous leaf blade, which is acutely
arrow-shaped, from 12 to 16 inches broad, and about half that width, the ovate acute basal lobes being
divergent. The mid-rib of the central and divergent lobes is marked by a broad ivory white band, and
the principal lateral veins are marked out by narrower lines of the same colour, the rest of the surface
being of a bright green. 10s. 6 (7, 15s., and 1 guinea.

being borne in a single liead and spreading out as in the old form, in this new double kind they are
gathered into clusters, which fill up the centre, so that the whole inflorescence is full and rosette-like,.

CAMPSIDIUM (TECOMA) VALDIVI ANUM.
This beautiful Bignonind is a native of Chili. It is a very graceful climber, with pinnated leaves,
and produces abundant racemes of handsome orange-coloured blossoms. This plant has no rooting
branches, nor is it furnished with tendrils like most climbing species peculiar to America, but seem*
to be twining, like Pandorea. Occuring in high southern latitudes, there is every reason to believe
that it may prove hardy in the southern parts of England. 5 s. and 7s. 6 d.

Too much can scarcely be said in favour of the superb varieties of this plant, of which the old
0. persicum is the type, whether they are regarded as objects for the ornamentation oi the greenhouse-
or conservatory, or for table decoration, for which their compact floriferous character emiuently fits
them. The flowers are also extremely useful for bouquets, and when plucked, if kept in water, they
will last in freshness and beauty for some weeks — indeed, almost longer than any other flowers with
which we are acquainted.

SPIKE MUCH REDUCED.
DORYANTHES PALMERI.
This novelty is described by Mr. Hill, who
is well versed in plants, as one of the finest
productions of the colony of Queensland. It
is found in one small patch on the mountains
of that region, and about 200 miles distant
from the nearest township. In its habit of
growth it is described as resembling the com-
moner D. cxcdsa, but the ends of the leaves
are less pointed, and the thimble-shaped cup
is more distinct. The plants have a stout
bulbous base, clothed with the remains of the
imbricated leaves. These are elongate, narrow
lanceolate, 3 to 4 inches wide, quite smooth,
narrowed downwards into a channelled mar-
ginate stalk-like portion, which widens below
so as to clasp the bulb, and tapers upwards
into a long narrow point. The flowers form
a pyramidal spike, 12 to 18 inches high, and
10 to 12 inches broad, the flowers being red,
with the centre lighter, almost white. It is a
beautiful species, and is described by those who
have seen it in its native home as being greatly
superior in beauty to the older and more fami-
liar species. Small plants, 10s. M. ; imported
specimens, 3, 4 and 5 guineas.

DORYANTHES EXCELSA.
THE AUSTRALIAN GIGANTIC LILY.
This magnificent Lilaceous plant produces a tall straight stem, on which numerous bracts are
distributed. The base of this stem is surrounded by a number of fine long lanceolate leaves, and on
its top appears the bunch of flowers, about twenty in number, each of the size of the common white
Lily, but of the most brilliant scarlet colour. This is one of the most gorgeously beautiful plants ever
introduced. 10s. 6d., 15s, and 1 guinea.

ERYTHRINA BOGOTENSIS.
As the specific name implies, this plant has been introduced from Bogota. The leaves are trifoliate,
■with long petioles thickened at the base, the terminal leaflets having also distinct petioles, and being
ovate acuminate, somewhat angularly cut away at the base, whilst the lateral ones are obliquely ovate.
The flowers are scarlet, with lanceolate falcate keel and wings, 2 inches long, and a narrow erect
standard of about half that length ; they are produced in a close-set raceme. This is an exceedingly
handsome and attractive variety of the showy Coral Tree, and a great acquisition for the greenhouse or
■conservatory. 7s. 6 d. and 10s. fid.
ERYTHRINA COMPACTA.
This magnificent variety is the best and most useful in every respect of all the Erythrinas. It is of
compact bushy growth, producing most profusely its splendid attractive bunches of coral-like blossoms.
It will be found effective for sub-tropical gardening, and is a desirable plant for most decorative
purposes, as it blooms very freely in quite a small state. 5s.

This remarkable plant was sent from New Grenada by M. Roezl. In the young state the plants form
a thickened base from the persistence of the broad overlapping lower part of the leaves. When in
flower it is an extremely striking' object ; it produces an immense branched spike of flowers, which in
its native country attains a height of from 20 to 30 feet. This spike bears hundreds of beautiful pure
white flowers, with the margin of the petals green on one side. These flowers have the additional
vecommendation of being deliciously fragrant. 5s. and 7s. 6 d.

GASTRONEMA SANGUINEUM FLAMMEUM.
This beautiful dwarf-growing Amaryllidaeeous plant, imported from South Africa under the name of
Vallota flammea, is evidently a near ally of Oastronenia sawjuineum from the same country. It is,
however, a well-marked variety, generally producing two-iiowered instead of single-flowered scapes,
and having a more roseate less sanguineous hue in the flowers. The flowers are of a lovely rosy
carmine hue, tire striped interior of the tube being lit up by the bright yellow of the anthers. It is a

and requires the same mode of treatment.
This striking plant has been figured in the Botanical Magazine, and also in the Floral Magazine,
and has received the highest awards at the leading Metropolitan Exhibitions. 3 and 5 guineas.
LAPAGERIA ROSEA.
This is one of the most beautiful greenhouse and conservatory climbers yet known, bearing numerous
large, brilliant, carmine, bell-shaped flowers, more or less spotted internally. This highly ornamental

LASIANDRA MACRANTHA FLORIBUNDA.
This marvellous plant was first discovered hy the late Dr. Seemann, who published a figure ol it in
his Journal of Botany, since which it has been introduced from St. Catherine's, Brazil. The abundant
manner in which it produces its gigantic flowers in a small state, is remarkable ; even plants in 2 to
3-inch pots, when only about 3 inches high, readily produce flower buds, when the flower may really
he said to he as large as the plant. It requires to be treated in a manner similar to Pkronxa degam,
which it somewhat resembles in general features, but altogether eclipses in the magnitude of its floweis

Judging from its native locality, it maybe expected to produce its desirable fruit, with a slight
protection on outside walls, in an English climate ; and as an evergreen of fine habit and distinct
features, it will form a valuable addition to the orchard house, also for the cool conservatory bordei oi
wall. 5s. and 7s. Gd. ; large plants, 1 and 1J guinea.

GUNNERA SCABRA.
This is a native of the Andes of Pent, and although now pretty widely distributed, is certainly not,
however, yet us largely cultivated as, by its merits, it deserves to be. It should be found wanting in

out its magnificent foliage. Its broad leaves, borne upon stout petioles, are more than 4 J feet in
diameter. For producing a picturesque appearance on a large lawn, or in parks, few subjects equal a
finely grown specimen of this noble plant. If planted in a deep rich soil it speedily attains a majestic
size. 3s. 6 d. and 5s.

MAGNOLIA CAMPBELLI.
Our first knowledge in Europe of this gorgeously beautiful new hardy plant was derived from a plate
given in a very magnificent work, entitled Illustrations of Himalayan Plants. The descriptions and
analyses in that work are from the pen and pencil of Dr. J. D. Hooker, C.B., Pres. R.S., and the
following is an extract from his observations : —
“ The Magnolia Campbcllii was discovered by Dr. Griffith in Bhotan ; it is a large forest tree-
abounding on the outer ranges of Sikkim, at elevations of 8,000 to 10,000 feet, appearing on the road
above Pacheem, and thence ascending to the top of Sinchul, 8,000, and Tonglo, 10,000 feet ; though
occasionally seen on the central ranges at the same elevations, it is much less frequent. The flowers-
are produced abundantly in April, at the end of all the branches, when the tree is as yet perfectly
leafless ; they vary from white to deep rose colour, or almost crimson, and in size from 6 to 10 inches
the scent is faint. In May the tree is in full leaf, and the fruit ripens in October, when a few small
and often deformed flowers are sometimes produced. The flowering branch drawn in Mr. Cathcart’s
collection is nearly twice as large as that represented here. Young plants have the leaves perfectly
glabrous ; those of older trees are more or less silky on the under surface.”
Without referring to Illustrations of Himalayan Plants, it is difficult to realise the magnificence
either in size or colour of this Magnolia. A copy of the work can be seen at Mr. W. Bull’s establish-
ment, and he will be happy to show it to visitors. Dr. Hooker’s figure has been copied in the Flora
des Serves el dcs Jardins dc l' Europe, and V Illustration Horiicolc, but although beautifully executed,
it has necessarily, from the size of these works, been much reduced. 1, 2 and 3 guineas.
MAXIMOWICZIA CHINENSIS.
A deciduous Sehizandraeeous shrub, of 9armento.se habit. The flowers are dnecious, pale rose colour

The radical leaves are deeply palmatifid, the lobes being acuminate and incised. The flowering stems are
tall, terminating in a narrow panicle of pale green flowers, the branches of which are erect, and much
less densely packed than those of R. officinale. Irrespective of the interest attaching to these plants as

diameter and pure white. The fruit is of a maroon brown colour and agreeable flavour. The plant is
figured by Dr. Hooker in the Botanical Magazine, t. 6062, who remarks, “Whatever may be the
•qualities of its fruit, there is no question about the handsomeness of the flowering plant, whose flowers
somewhat resemble those of a white Rose in size and abundance. Dr. James, its discoverer, describes
its fruit as being of delicious sweetness. It is a native of the Rocky mountains. 10s. 6 d.

purple of the glorious broad corymbs of flowers, contrast more exquisitely with the foliage, which in

One of the best and most abundant flowering of cool Orchids, producing freely large blossoms,
which generally are white or blush shaded with rose, and the labellum spotted with crimson.
There are many varieties of this beautiful Orchid, scarcely two being alike.
They require little room, being of dwarf and compact habit ; should have plenty of water whilst
growing, and never be allowed to get dry.

This plant, also known under the names of 0. Alexandra: and 0. Bluntii, is one of the gems of
the cool Orchid house, since by a little management its charming flowers may be had all the year
round. It is a plant which varies to an almost endless extent, no two of the many thousands imported
being perhaps exactly alike, and very considerable differences in size, colouring, or crispness in the
flowers constantly presenting itself. In good typical forms the sepals and petals are white, ovate or
ovate lanceolate, the petals being much undulated, and often fimbriately toothed. The lip is oblong-
acuminate, yellow and crested towards the base, beautifully crisped at the margin, and more or less
spotted towards the front with blotches of reddish brown. 1 1 has been very largely imported from
Colombia, and in some of its forms is flushed with a lovely tint of rose.

One of the finest Orchids, producing very freely, on branched spikes, the most lovely mauve and
white-flowers, and having very ornamental variegated foliage.
These most lovely Orchids bloom so profusely, that if all the flowers they produced were allowed to
remain, they would bloom themselves to death. They are very beautiful and exceedingly useful for
bouquets, and are well adapted for suspended baskets ; they should be protected from drip, and require-
plenty of water whilst growing.

GESNERAS (NiEGELIAS).
The value of Gesneras, as decorative plants, can scarcely be over estimated. Most
of them have rich velvet-like foliage, which, in the respective kinds, varies from green
to crimson. If only grown for the foliage they are very attractive, but during the
winter they produce splendid pyramidal spikes of blossom, which are extremely
handsome. Originally, however, the principal colour was orange scarlet ; now, as
the result of fertilisation, there are various colours and shades ; added to which
the spotting on tho flowers of some of the varieties is extremely pretty.

CYRTODEIRA (ACHIMENES) CHONTALENSIS.
The following is an extract from Dr. Berthold Seemann’s description of this charming plant, given
In the Gardeners’ Chronicle : —
“ Cyrtodcira cliontalcnsis is one of the most beautiful Gesneraceous plants I have seen. The leaves
are purple on the under side, and on the upper light green, with very dark green blotches. The
flowers appear in November and December, and are lilac, and as large as a crown piece, with a yellow
centre, and a whitish tube. The roots are fibrous (not catkin-like rhizomes, as in the Acliimeues
tribe), and in habit the plant resembles C. mdallica, which has smaller and scarlet flowers, and a
hairy ovary. 3s. 6d.
CYRTODEIRA (ACHIMENES) FULGIDA.
An extremely showy Gesneraceous plant from Colombia. It has beautiful brownish green or olive-
coloured metallic-looking leaves, ornamented with silver gray mid-rib and veins, and freely produces

QUEEN VICTORIA, this remarkably distinct
and handsome Pelargonium is one of the most
marvellously beautiful and novel varieties ever
offered. The flowers have peculiarly crispy
petals ; they are not really double, but from

petals, they have the appearance of being so.
The colour is a rich vermilion ; all the petals
broadly margined with pure white, and the
upper ones blotched with maroon. The con-
trast of the broad white margin with the ver-
milion ground colour makes the flower ex-
tremely pleasing and attractive. For illus-

the best varieties of the most eminent English raisers, so that, while possessing the

also the advantage of having the spots more clearly and purely defined than is usually
the case with the foreign sorts.

TREE FERNS.
TREE FERNS.
Of these majestic plants the stock is very large. They have stems varying in
height from 1 foot to 10 feet, and having been imported from Australia and New
Zealand, they are such as will succeed well in any ordinary greenhouse. Their
fine graceful habit and singularly distinct appearance render them peculiarly adapted
for the decoration of conservatories. They range in price according to sorts, sizes,
and strength of the specimens. It may, however, be as well to remark that they are
not merely newly imported trunks, but well established plants with fine heads ;
many of them having been grown in this country several years.

ADIANTUM FUNCKII.
This beautiful species is intermediate between A. permianim and A. Sancta: Catlurinic; partaking
of the elegant habit of the former and of the robust growth of the latter. It is a very graceful
species, and has been dedicated to M. Funck, the Director of the Zoological Gardens at Cologne. 15s.
ADIANTUM GRACILLIMUM.
A most elegant and distinct Fern, with very light and graceful fronds ; the multiplicity of minute
pinnules and almost invisible ramifications of the racliis impart to the plant a peculiarly charming
appearance ; the texture of the fronds, which are about a foot long and 8 to 9 inches across, is thin
and fragile, and the colour is a very pale yellowish-tinted olive-green. 7s. 6 d. and 10s. 6 cl.
ADIANTUM HENDERSONI.
A novel and handsome variety, with elegant, well-expanded, doubly-winged fronds, about 8 or 9
inches wide. Its young fronds are very attractive, being of a rich bronzy crimson colour, changing
to dark green as they acquire age. It is of very distinct growth, the fronds being of a semi-drooping
habit, and thus giving the plants a most graceful appearance. 10s. 6(7. and 15s.

A rroble species from Colombia, remarkable for the large size of its fronds, which are supradeeom-
pound, the ultimate pinnules deorsely falcate and somewhat acuminate, and the sori oblong-reniform.
A striking peculiarity of this plant is that the racliis, especially on the upper surface, is clothed with a
felt of whity-brown cobwebby hairs, which gives it a pale velvety appearance. The same appearance
is continued, though in a less degree, throughout the stipes. 10s. 6(7.

PLEOCNEMIA LEUZEANA.
This remarkably handsome stove Fern is of arborescent habit. The fronds are as broad as long,
triangular, and tripinnate in the basal pinna;. The pinnules appear deflexed from being set on below
the surface of the racliides, which thus appear raised and produce a kind of ridge and furrow appearance.
The ordinary pinnules are cut into ovate or oblong toothed lobes, the sinuses being reflexed, which
gives a crisped appearance to the surface. The specimens now offered wore imported from the
Philippine Islands, but it is found also in India, China, the Moluccas, and in some of tho Pacific
Islands. For illustration, vide page 135. 7s. (id. and 10s. Gd.

ADIANTUM CAPILLUS-VENERIS DAPHNITES.
This Fern differs in a remarkable degree from all other varieties of the “ English Maiden Hair,” the
pinnules of each of the branches being confluent (united), and the apex of the rachis dilated, spreading
out the ultimate confluent pinnules into a crest-like crispy mass. The stipes are ebony coloured, and
stouter than in any other form, and tho pinna; are of a blue green. It has been awarded a First Class
Certificate by the Royal Horticultural Society. 5s. and 7s. 6 d.
ADIANTUM CAPILLUS-VENERIS MAGNIFICUM.
The fronds of this really useful and attractive Fern are much larger than those of A. Capillus-
Veneris, being from 12 to 15 inches long by 4 inches broad, and curving over the sides of the pot.
The pinna; are of a beautiful soft green, and are almost as large as those of A. farleyense, and, like
that variety, they gracefully overlap each other with finely incised and fringed edges. The chief value
of this plant is its hardiness and adaptability to the temperature of the greenhouse, whereas
A. farleyense can only be cultivated in a stove. 5s. and 7s. 6 d.

PTERIS SERRULATA CRISTATA VARIEGATA.
A pretty greenhouse evergreen Fern, which probably owes its origin to an accidental cross between
P. serrulate, a istata and P. cretica albo-lineata. The sterile fronds are pinnate, with the lower pinna;
forked ; they are sharply toothed at the edge, sometimes tasselledat the tips, and marked with a white
band down the mid-rib ; the fertile fronds are similar in division but taller and narrower, with a
gracefully drooping character, and multifidly tasselled at the apices of tire pinna;. 7s. 6rf. and 10s. Grf.
PTERIS SERRULATA FIMBRIATA.
A very distinct and beautiful variety of P. serrulate. The ends of each pinnule are beautifully
tasselled, the tassels themselves being delicately fringed or frilled, which is a great addition to the
ornamental character of the plant. 5s. and 7s. 6rf.
PTERIS SERRULATA TENUIFOLIA,
This is a pigmy variety of one of the most useful of greenhouse Ferns, Plcris scrrulata. The fronds
are divided as in the type, but the whole plant is dwarfed and greatly reduced in size. The fronds are
about 6 inches high, while the pinna; and segments are reduced to about one-eighth of an inch in
breadth, and are unequally serrated at the edge. It will form a remarkably elegant little plant for
small Wardian cases. 5s.

TODEA (LEPTOPTERIS) SUPERBA.
Any attempt at description must fall far sliort of conveying an adequate notion of the exquisite
beauty of this lovely Fern, which is unquestionably one of the most handsome yet known. It should
be seen to be justly appreciated.
lhe fronds, which are 15 to 18 inches in length, arc of a pleasing green, of transparent texture and
of a lanceolate outline, spreading, beautifully arching and feathered down to the very base ; the pinna;
are crowded and cut into narrow segments, which, instead of lying flat, as in Todca pdluada, are
turned upwards, giving the frond a frilled surface, and producing an effect distinct from that of any
Fern in cultivation. For illustration, vide page 137.
This is probably the most beautiful of all the dwarf-growing New Zealand Ferns. Fine imported
plants, 1, li and 2 guineas.

sufficient diversity of character to allow of selections being made from them for the
greenhouse, stove, or conservatory, to either of which Palms impart a richer tropical
appearance than any other plants. Some of the miniature dwarf-growing kinds are,
from their light and graceful forms, admirably adapted for table decoration, for vases!
or for almost every purpose in which ornamentation is desired. The more hardy and
larger kinds can be used for sub-tropical gardening, to which they impart a most
luxuriant grandeur, evidence of which has been given at Battersea Park, and in other
places where Palms have been used.

COPERNICIA (CORYPHA) CERIFERA, this is the Camauba Palm of Brazil, one of the most
useful and hence valuable Palms known. The top, when young, is an appreciable and nutritious
article of food ; and from this tree also wine, vinegar and a saccharine matter are extracted, as well
as a kind of gum similar in its tastes and properties to Sago. From the wood musical instruments
are made, as also tubs and pumps for water. The delicate fibrous substances of tho pith of the
•stalk and its leaves make a good substitute for cork. The roots have the same virtues as the
Sarsaparilla. The pulp of the fruit is of an agreeable taste, and the nut, oily and emulsive, is
Toasted and then used as coffee by many persons. From the trunk are obtained strong fibres, and
also a species of flour similar to Maizena, and a liquid resembling that of the Bahia Cocoa-nut.
From the dried straw are made mats, hats, baskets and brooms ; and large quantities of the straw are
exported to Europe for the manufacture of fine hats. Finally, from the leaves is produced the wax
used in the manufacture of candles ; and the export of this wax from Brazil exceeds .£162,000 a
year in value lj and 2 guineas

of very ornamental character. 1 and 14 guinea.
PERI ACANTHUS, this remarkably graceful Palm, a native of Java, hears a
general resemblance to D. palcnibanicus. It differs, however, in having a greater
abundance of spines, and these have a tendency to group themselves in irregular
rings around the petiole, a circumstance which has doubtless suggested the
name ; they differ also in the young leaves being almost straw coloured instead
of cinnamon coloured, and thus the two plants, while sufficiently resembling each
other to form an excellent pair, are yet effectively contrasted by the different hues
assumed by their partially developed leaves. 10s. fid., 15 s. and 1 guinea.
.,, PLUMOSUS, this graceful Palm is exceedingly handsome either in a small or
large size. Its leaves are of a rich dark green, and remarkably plume-like,

spines, which latter are thickened at the base. The young leaves are of a bright cinnamon brown,

JAPANESE CHRYSANTHEMUMS.
GENERAL COLLECTION.
When in Japan Mr. Fortune selected and sent to this country seven remarkable Chrysanthemums,
which proved exceedingly distinct in size, form and colour, from the ordinary kinds grown here. From
the types then introduced, have been raised the following, which are still more remarkable for their
diversity, possessing as they do either enormous size, peculiarity of form or novelty of colour. Although
of a distinct type from the Chrysanthemums in general cultivation, no difference of treatment or soil
is necessary to secure a succession of flowers from November until January or February. Many of
them remain longer in bloom, and bloom later than the Chinese kinds, so that we may have our
greenhouses gay with them all through the dull winter months, when flowers are scarce. The effect
produced in the conservatory by their fantastic forms and brilliant colours is most novel and pleasing,
many of their immense blooms having more the appearance of tassels formed of the gay plumage of
tropical birds than of flowers.
