Alocasia zebrina : — from Messrs. Veitch & Son. A very 



fine Arad from the Pliilippine Islands, introdaced by Mr. J. 

 G. Veitch. It was a stout-growing plant of bold habit, and had 

 thick green broadly sagittate erect leaves, on stout erect stalks, 

 which were mottled and banded with dark green on a pale green 

 ground, so as to become snake-like in marlving. Tt was both 

 curious and handsome, and received the Silver Knightian 

 Med4L offered for plants of this class. 



Litobrochia grandis {Moore) : — from Messrs. Veitch & Son, 



A noble stove Fern of the Dryopteris group of netted-veined 

 Pteindes, and having the aspect of a g\^imi\QLitohrachia palmata. 

 The fronds, many of them, measured a foot across the lamina^ 

 which was palmately bipinnatifid. It had black stipites. When 

 young the fronds have the central ribs grayish-white, but this 

 marking seems to become less distinct as the fronds grow older.
