plants of my B. zanthina have the leaves spotted, but the spots 
are of quite a different character from those of our present plant. 
It. is well known that the beautiful B. argyrostigma (Exotic 
Flora, t. 18) became by continued cultivation spotless, and ther 
lost all its charm with cultivators. 
Fig. 1. Female flower, nat. size. 2. Fruit, slightly magnified. 3. Transverse 
section of ditto, more magnified.
