VARIEGATA ALBA ,.. „ 2 6—10 6 



The above five varieties of piutnosa are similar, in their general 

 character, to that species. Argeniea is tipped with white ; aurea is 

 a most beautiful golden colour, and one of the most effective decora- 

 tive plants of this class ; Jlavescens another form of aurea ; axidjiumzia 

 a dwarf-growing kind. Variegata alba is a charming plant, its soft 

 grey, bluish foliage being distinctly and beautifully spotted with clear 

 white, making the plant appear covered with small snow-flakes. 

 Plutnosa and its varieties are sometimes taken as forms of pisifera, 

 but, on comparing the botanical features of each, and considering the 

 great difference in habit, I think plumosa must be a distinct species, 

 and aurea and the rest varieties, and in no specific manner allied to 

 Pisi/era.
