A pretty plant with weak nodding leaves of a deep red colour. 
The form of the leaves and the few female flowers distinguish it 
from its allies, H. angustifolia and H. consobrina.

alacca. I have had this in cultivation for many years. It 
was first collected alive by Mr. Derry. The species is closely allied 
to H. Grifithii Hook. fil., a very common and variable species, but

are much more numerous in H. Grifithii.
