Musas, too — M. Cavendishii and M. enseie more particularly — 

 although requiring considerable space, are amongst the most 

 effective subjects that can be associated with such ornamental 

 foliaged plants as Colocasia antiquoriim^ C. escuknta, C. odorata 

 (Fig. 613), Pandanus Veitchii, Aipinia nutans, A. vittata, Xantho- 

 sonia Lindenii, X. violaceum, Dieffenbachia Bausei, D. cheIsom\ 

 D. magnifica, Caladhim bicolor, C- Cha7itinii, and many of the 

 familiar brilliant-coloured hybrid forms. These should not be 

 omitted from a supplementary list when necessary to enhance 

 by their inclusion the general effect of a collection of tropical 

 Aquatics. They may be depended upon for the purpose for 

 which they are here recommended, and with the Aquatics would 

 form a permanent source of much interest and pleasure.
