Very neat, Ixia-likc, dwarf, bulbous plants, 

 which flower in the open borders all summer, in 

 any light, garden-soil ; ripen seeds freely, and 

 require the protection of a frame in winter. 

 Propagated from seeds and offsets ; light, sandy 

 loam and common soil; bulbs require, in most

The natives of Ceylon, where it grows in the 

 hedge-rows, admire it much, and give it the regal 

 name of " The King of the Woods ; " and well it j 

 deserves the title ; but yet the leaves are the only 

 part that attract our admiration. The flowers, 

 though various, are not at all beautiful ; but the 

 leaves are the most beautiful of all the leaves in 

 the world. The ground colour is of a dark 

 velvety-green, tinged with a metallic lustre, 

 curiously inlaid, as it were, with streaks of golden 

 net-work. If examined with a moderate micro- 

 scope, when the sun is shining, this golden net- 

 work is really glorious, having the appearance of 

 the richest rubies. But no description can do 

 justice to the beauty of the leaves of this plant. 

 The variety named pictus, or painted brought 

 home, we believe, by Mr. Gibson, from the 

 Khorea Hills, India has a broad stripe of yellow 

 down the centre of each leaf, in addition to the 

 golden net- work. It is equally beautiful with 

 the original species, but, if anything, more diffi- 

 cult to cultivate. Messrs. Low and Co., of the 

 Clapton Nurseries, have imported another variety, 

 from Borneo, of a stronger growth, and on that 

 account worth cultivating, though not quite so 

 beautiful as the other two Yirieties. (Cottage
