it is of straggling growth, and with ordinary cultivation it only 

 gives two or three flowers occasionally. If it could be got to 

 behave like the plate in the " Bot. Mag." it would be well worth 

 growing. 



leuconeuron, Regel. (fig. "Gartenfl." t. 174). — Brazil. Leaves 

 clouded with white markings ; spikes axillary or terminal ; flowers 

 small, white. A rather pretty little foliage plant. 



longifolium (fig. " Gartenfl." t. 536). — Leaves lanceolate, ending 

 in a long, gradual acumination, rounded at the base, about 

 6 inches long by nearly 2 inches broad, blotched with white and 

 darker shades of green ; spikes terminal, generally twin, 6- 8 inches 

 long; flowers small. Pretty foliage, but a plant of hardly more 

 than botanical interest. 



maculatum, Hort., " Kew List of Tender Dicotyledons." — I have 

 not been able to trace this species ; it is not now in cultivation at 

 Kew. The name is unpublished. It is probably one of the foliage 

 species described here. 



magrneanum. "Jour. Soc. Nat. d'Hort. de France," 1906, 553.— 

 A garden hybrid between vcrbenaceum and longifolium. See 

 "Kew List of New Garden Plants of the Year 1907," p. 87. 

 I have not seen this. 



marmoratum, Regel. (fig. "Gartenfl." t. 536, fig. 2).— New 

 Hebrides. Leaves white-mottled ; spikes terminal ; flowers very 

 small. Only of botanical interest. See also " Gard. Chron." 1875, 

 vol. iii. 619. It was sent out by Mr. Bull in 1874. 



Moorei, Bull, " Gard. Chron." ser. 2, vol. iii. (1875), 619.— Polynesia. 

 Leaves with mottled-green centre and a broad yellowish margin. 

 Sent out by Mr. Bull in 1875. I know nothing of this plant, and 

 it does not appear to be now in cultivation. It is mentioned 

 in Nicholson's Dictionary as very curious and distinct. It may 

 be a form of atropurpureum. I find these foliage Eranthemums 

 and Graptophyllums vary very considerably in the colouring of 

 their foliage according to the amount of heat and nature of the 

 soil in which they are grown. 



nigrescens, "Nicholson's Dict." = atropurpureum. 



nigrum, "111. Hort." new ser. t. 404 = atropurpureum. 



Parishii, Anders., "Jour. Linn. Soc." ix. 526, as Asystasia; (fig. 

 "Bot. Mag." t. 5440). — Tenasserim. Leaves elliptic, glabrous; 

 spikes terminal, subpanicled ; flowers often fascicled ; corolla 

 purplish, tube 1^ inch long, slender but funnel-shaped upwards, 

 limb J inch in diameter. Syn. E. crcnulatum var. grandiflorum, 

 Hooker. 



reticulatum, Boll, " Gard. Chron." ser. 2, vol. iii. (1875), p. 619; 

 (fig. "Bot. Mag." t. 7480); "111. Hort." new ser. xxvi. (1879), 

 349. — New Hebrides. Leaves beautifully reticulated, green and 

 yellow ; panicles in upper axils and terminal ; corolla salver-shaped, 

 white, speckled red in the centre, tube twice length of calyx. Syn. 

 aureo-retioulatum f Hort., E. Schombnrgkii, Hort. Much grown 

 for its beautiful foliage. It does not flower often. 



roseum, Lindau (fig. "111. Hort." 1876, t. 235).— Amazon Valleys. 

 Leaves ovate, cordate, acute, purplish underneath ; spike terminal,
