DREER'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BULBS, ETC. 23 



DIPLOPAPPUS CHRYSOPHILLUS. 



A new and rare evergreen shrub, introduced by L. Van Huutte, who describes it perfectly 

 hardv. The plant has a beath-like appearance, with small dark thick foliage, the lower side of 

 which, as also the stems of the young matured growth, are covered with a yellow dust, similar 

 to the Golden Ferns, giving it the appearance, as Mr. L. Van Houtte describes it, of a golden 

 cloud: it propagates readily from cutting.-. A rare novelty, which can be highly recommended.
