128 MUSA ENSETE, a magnificent Abyssinian banana, the most ornamental foliaged of all the 



species; leaves an enormous size and of a beautifid glossy, lively grass-green. It is more 

 hardy and better adapted for sub-tropical gardens, than the Musa at present in use ; although 

 its leaves are as large as the sail of a pleasure boat, they do not tear like the Musa rosacea. The 

 plant produces no side shoots and must, therefore, be raised from seed ; the only plants we are 

 aware of in this country are at Battersea Park, and they were imported last autumn. There 

 was a grand specimen in the grounds of the Paris Exhibition, 15 to 20 feet high
