GAEDENIA. Ill 



G. floiida variegata. — This is a variegated form of G. 

 Jtorida, with leaves of the same shape and size as the pre- 

 ceding, but beautifully margined with yellowish white, and 

 producing abundance of its sweet-scented flowers in winter 

 and spring. It is a very handsome plant, and highly deco- 

 rative. 



G. Fortunei. — A fine robust-growing plant, producing 

 flowers of great size. It is like a gigantic form of G. florida 

 intermedia, but is not quite such a free bloomer ; on the 

 contrary, it is very free. The leaves are opposite, some- 

 times in whorls, and bright shining green, which contrasts 

 well with the large pure white fragrant flowers. Native of 

 China. 



G. radicans. — A neat shrubby plant, the leaves of which 

 are narrow, lanceolate, and of a dark green colour, while the 

 flowers are double, white, and very fragrant. It grows from 

 one to two feet high, and is a native of Japan. 



G. radicans major. — This resembles the preceding in every 

 respect, but is larger in all its parts, though not so large as 

 G. florida intermedia. It is a very desirable variety, and 

 the most profuse bloomer of all. 



G. radicans variegata. — A very interesting form of G. 

 radicans, having the leaves margined with white, which 

 gives it an elegant appearance, even when out of bloom. It 

 should be in every collection. It was introduced from 

 Japan. 



G. Stanleyana. — This fine plant produces immense trumpet- 

 shaped flowers, which are from eight to ten inches long, and 

 about five inches in breadth ; the throat and base of the 

 lobes of the limb are blotched and spotted with rich dark 

 reddish brown, while the margins are white ; these flowers 

 are deliciously fragrant. The leaves are medium-sized, 

 oblong-acute, and dark green. It is a free-growing plant,
