The plant is of pyradmidal form, attaining a height of from 2J to 3 feet, 

 branching close to the ground, the lower branches being from 12 to 15 inches 

 in length, and extending in a horizontal position. 



The leaves, which are beautifully undulated, vary in the earlier stages of 

 growth, from a green to a bronzy green shade, and are from 5 to 7 inches in 

 length, by about a quarter of an inch in width. As the plants get stronger, the 

 leaves at the ends of all the principal branches assume a bright orange red color 

 and become more elongated, generally being from 10 to 15 inches in length, 

 forming magnificent tright colored plumes, and giving the plant a most elegant 

 and picturesque appearance. 



From its extremely graceful habit and rich colors, this plant produces a strik- 

 ing effect when planted in large beds or masses ; it also forms a very handsome 

 object as a single specimen for the centre of a vase or small bed, and is invalu- 

 able as a pot plant for autumn greenhouse decorations.
