ANTHURIUM VE1TCHII. 



This is one of the finest and rarest of Anthuriums. 

 It bears large ovate-oblong leaves, which when young 

 have a striking, glossy metallic appearance. A distin- 

 guishing characteristic of the plant is the curiously 

 waved surfaces of the leaves, which is imparted by 

 the sunk and arched veins. The plant is a native 

 of Colombia, where it was first discovered in 1877. Being 

 of slow growth, and difficult to propagate, it is rarely 

 seen in living collections.
