HORTUS VEITCHII 



XEEONEMA MOOEEI, Brongn. 



Gard. Chron. 1878, vol. x. p. 8, fig. 3 ; Veitchs' Catlg. of PI. 1889, p. 12, fig. p. 8. 



A singular Liliaceous plant with the habit of an Iris, re-introduced 

 through the late John Gould Veitch from the South Sea Islands, at 

 the time lost to cultivation. 



The brilliant crimson flowers, turned to one side of the rachis, are 

 very brightly coloured ; each is about 1 in. in length, an erect tube, 

 from the centre of which protrude the stamens fully | in. beyond the 

 mouth, and which, from their crowded position, impart a striking effect to 

 the inflorescence. 



ZAMIA MONTANA, A. Braun. 



Veitchs' Catlg. of PI. 1876, p. 34. 

 Introduced from New Grenada through Wallis. 



The sharp-pointed pinnae near the extremities of erect leaf-stalks, deeply 

 furrowed throughout, are about 1 ft. in length, very beautiful in form and 

 colour. 



ZAMIA OBLIQUA, A. Braun. 



Dyer in Gard. Chron. 1882, vol. xvii. p. 460, fig. 72 ; Bot. Mag. t. 7542. 



Originally introduced through Gustav Wallis, by whom it was discovered 

 in New Grenada, this species of rather small size, but neat habit, 

 produces bright green sharp-pointed leaflets, 6 to 8 in. in length, on the 

 extremities of slender leaf-stalks. 



ZAMIA WALLISII, A. Braun. 

 Bot. Mag. t. 7103. 



One of three new species discovered by Gustav Wallis when collecting in 

 New Grenada in 1873, and first flowered in this country in May 1889.

N. E. Brown in Gard. Chron. 1879, vol. xii. p. 166. 



This very interesting plant, of little horticultural value, was introduced 

 from Borneo through Burbidge. The showy inflorescence at the base 

 is to a great extent concealed.
