*PHILODENDRON ANDREANUM. 
A striking Aroid, discovered by M. André, of Paris, in New Granada; it is by far the finest species of Philo-

four to five feet. When first expanded on the young plant, they are of a decided scarlet tinge shaded with brown, 
when a little older they become a bronzy red-brown before finally changing to the normal bright velvety-green 
of the mature leaves. Through all these changes, the colors are relieved and enhanced by the white midrib and 
nerves that branch from it. $1.50 each.
