Some of them were nevertheless on this occasion thought worthy 

 of reward, even as indoor plants, on account of their elegantly- 



Enrya sp. : this was distinguished as a "broad-leaved Eurya ; " 

 it has moderate-sized elegantly-acuminated Camellia-like foliage, 

 broadly margined, and more or less blotched inwards with white, 

 and the young foliage comes out stained with a fiery-orange-colour, 

 which gives the plant a bright and showy character. It received 

 a First-Class Ceetificate. 



Osmanthus aquifolius variegatus nanus : a nice-looking Olea- 

 ceous shrub, with neat flat Holly-like sharply-toothed or sinuately- 

 spinose leaves, margined and marbled with creamy-white. The 

 leaves were small, and the plant of dwarf twiggy growth. It was 

 awarded a Fibst- Class Certificate. There was in the collection 

 an Osmanthus aquifolius variegatus of larger growth, and with 

 larger and broader leaves, scarcely less effective ; and also, the 

 typical green-leaved form of the species. 



Illieium variegatum : a neat-looking plant, probably referrible 

 to I. anisatum. It had grey-marbled leaves, slightly edged with 

 white, and was Commended as a pretty variegated shrub. 



Podocarpus microphyUus variegatus: this had the leaves 

 linear-lanceolate, and sparingly striped. 



Euonymus variegatns : something like E. japonicus, but 

 with smaller leaves, having a broad central yellowish blotch. 



Bnxus obcordata variegata : a very pretty little variegated 

 Box-tree, with remarkably short obtuse, sometimes retuse or 

 obcordate, leaves, of about half an inch in diameter. 



Elaeagnns japonicus variegatus : had the leaves neatly edged 



Camellia sp. : with small Sasanqua-like variegated foliage. 



Thea viridis variegata : the Tea-plant, with variegated lea 



RapMs flabellata variegata: of this well-known elegant 

 dwarf Palm, the present form had the leaves striped m 

 less with white. 



Gardenia radicans fol. variegatis : a beautiful little 

 house shrub, with long narrow leaves edged with white, and 

 bearing the well-known fragrant flowers of this species. The plai 

 had been previously exhibited before the Committee by Messr 

 Veitch & Son {see p. 240). 



Daphne variegata : with the leaves narrowly edged with white. 

 It was distinct from the plants already in cultivation, but ^\ 

 sufficiently developed.
