These new and handsome flowering ornamental-foli- 
aged stove-plants form a very desirable addition to th, 
Melastomacese, four varieties being now offered for th« 
first time. The flowers, which are of a bright rose or 
purple color, are produced in the utmost profusion from 
the top of every growth, the mass of bloom thus 
thrown just above the foliage having a most pleasing 
effect, considerably enhanced by the prominent horn- 
like, bright golden anthers. The foliage is also very 
ornamental, one variety having a very striking blotch 
or bar of creamy white in the center of the leaf ; 
another has crimson maroon leaves, covered with scar- 
let hairs, while the foliage of the other two kinds are 
decorated with a multitude of white dots or spots on 
light and dark gi-een grounds respectively. They were 
discovered on the Arracan Hills, at an elevation of 4,000 
feet, and are among the most interesting of recently 
introduced plants. $1.50 to $3. (See cut, page 27.) 
TECOMA amboinensis. Flowers orange red, three 
inches to four inches long, freely produced in axill- 
ary racemes ; a handsome stove climber, allied to the
