 TRADESCANTIA LATIFOLIA 



Tliis was raised from seeds, given to us 

 by our excellent friend Mr. C Stokes, in 

 I +2J : lie received them from Mexico. The 

 plant flowered in September and October. 

 According to Ruiz and Pavon, it is a native 

 of Peru, and although they describe it as 

 annual, it looks as if it might be continued 

 by cuttings. We have kept it in the green- 

 house, potted in light loam. The flowers 



ther to the countless myriads of the works 

 of our blessed Creator.
