S. BoeheUnil. Pitcher & Manda, 1895, p. 138. " Lvs. beauti- 

 fully marked with silvery white in a broad feathery varieaa- 

 tion. Ouly the center and edge of the leaves are plain light 

 green. The plant is compact, free-growing, with tliieli leaves 

 as enduring as those of a rubber tree. A fine house plant." 

 This plant is imperfectly known. It is figured in Pitcher & 

 Manda's catalogue 1895:141 as S. Roebelinii. and the same thing 

 is used in A.G. 19:589 (1898) as S. picta and in V. M. 23:71 

 (1899) as S. crispata. The plant so pictxired is distinct from 

 any species described above. There is more white than green 

 in the leaf, only tlie edges and midrib portion being green. 

 Some growers believe it to be a sport of S. erispata.-
