Acer palmatum crispum (IUust. Sort., 43). — A beautiful maple, with elegant 

 narrow-lobed leaves and red leafstalks. 



Quercus striata (IUust. Sort , 44). — A beautiful oak, the leaves of which are 

 marked with alternate bars of green and yellow. 



■ Odontoglossum nevadense (IUust. Sort., 45). — A fine species with large 

 flowers of a fine brown colour edged with yellow ; the lip white. 



Acer palmatum ornatum (IUust. Sort., ^S).— A beautiful maple, with deeply- 

 divided blood-red leaves. 



Mimulus Tilikgi. — A veiy pretty and distinct Mimulus, which inhabits the 



Sierra Nevada, California, 

 ■where it was discovered by 

 Dr. Tilling, who introduced 

 it to this country. It differs 

 from the Mimulus already 

 in cultivation in this coun- 

 try, and is most easily 

 grown ; and large flowering 

 specimens can be produced in 

 a surprisingly short space of 

 time. It is of erect growth, 

 and attains a height of nearly 

 three feet, with numerous 

 branching stems, terminating 

 with spikes of clear yellow 

 flowers of the shape shown 

 in the accompanying illus- 

 tration, for which we .are 

 indebted to Messrs. Hooper 

 and Co. 



New Caladiums (IUust. 

 Sort., 37). — Senry Uoucet 

 has a grand fiery leaf 

 almost wholly overspread 

 with sanguineous carmine, 

 the extreme margin only 

 being green. Eloile d'ar- 

 fpnf is most elegantly 

 marked with white veins, 

 shading off to grey bands, 

 beyond which the surf -co 

 is delicately powdered with 

 white on a full dee]) green 

 ground. Jules Puizeys is 

 extremely elegant and pecu- 

 liarly showy. The midrib 

 and principal veins are of 

 a brilliant crimson colour ; 

 the interspaces powdered 

 with white and blotched with 

 crimson on a ground of deep 

 green. 

 Todea Africana (IUust. Sort., 38).— A tolerably good figure of a well-known 

 fern. 



Odontoglossum ouoratum, v. latimaculatum (IUust. Sort., 39). — A pleasing 

 variety, prettily spotted. 



Aristolochia clypeata (IUust. Sort., 40). — A magnificent species with im- 

 mense flowers, heavily spotted chocolate-brown on a ground of pale brownish buff. 



Camellia Madame de Cannart d'Hamule (IUust. Sort., 41).— The flowers 

 are flesh-coloured, with a tinge of pink at the base of every petal. If judged by the 

 figure this is a valueless variety. 



Masbevallia Lindeni (IUust. Sort., 42). — A good figure of this interesting 

 and comparatively unknown orchid.
