leaves. Native country unknown. (W. O. A, iv. 176.)

Vol. I.).

plant described on p. 50, Vol. I., as Alocasia Johnstoni.

Lasia spinosa (which see).

common Broom, having deeper golden flowers, with bright red 
keels instead of yellow, as in the ordinary form. Found wild in 
Normandy, 1886. (R. H. 1886, p. 372, under name of Genista 
Andreana.)

five-lobed; perfect stamens two. Leaves entire or 
seareely toothed. D. macrophyllus is an erect, minutely 
pubescent, stove, perennial herb. ‘It belongs to a class 
of Acanthaceous plants that are very suitable for winter 
decoration, flowering freely under proper treatment, 
which consists very much in careful watering at the 
time when, in their native country, little or no rain 
falls” (Sir J. D. Hooker). For culture, see Eranthemum, 
on p. 518, Voi. I.
