NEW PLANTS. 
In taking a cursory glance through my Establishment the fol- 
lowing plants are prominently attractive, many of them are quite 
NEW, others comparatively so, while all are RAEE and of such 
sterling merit as to be worthy of especial notice ; prices of them 
will be found in this list. — W. B. 
NEW & RARE STOVE PLANTS. 
First and foremost is the striking Anthurium grandis, a plant un- 
rivalled in the class to which it belongs, and one that will long do honour- 
to the Eoyal Horticultural Society, as being the means of its introduc- 
tion. Peperomia arifolia, with leaves like wax and prettily variegated, 
also introduced by the Royal Horticultural Society, from South 
America. The exquisite Epidendrum cnemidophorum from Mexico, 
requiring the coolest culture of the cool orchids. Alocasia longiloba 
and A. tigrina, the footstalks of both arc Zebra-like andprettily marbled, 
surmounted with Caladium-like loaves, but distinct one from the other. 
A remarkably curious companion plant to the Alocasias is Schistocasia 
Portei, v-ith its oddly-scolloped leaves. Calonyction sanguinea is a 
valuable plant, inasmuch as both foliage and flowers are handsome, the 
former olive green tinted with red, the latter large and showy (three 
inches in diameter) of a bright rosy flesh colour, with crimson eye. A 
ndw Brazilian Maranta “ Vanden Heckei,” with prettily variegated 
leaves, is always handsome alike, winter and summer. The double 
flowering Amaryllis fulgida Acre pleno has blossoms resembling a 
large double Narcissus. The Clove “ Caryophyllus aromaticus,” com- 
mon enough as a spice, but very rare as a plant ; the Assa-foetida of 
Commerce “ Narthex Assa-foetida,” is also a very rare plant. Cycas 
Rinminiana, a remarkablj’’ handsome and ornamental species from the 
Philippines. The new scarlet flowei-ing Amazonian Passion Flower 
“ fulgens,” scarlet flowering climbers are always useful. Pandanus 
Blancoi, P. elegantissimus, P. ornatus, P. Vandermeerschi, all exceed- 
ingly elegant and gracefully omamontal for decoration. Mr. Baraquin’s 
Dieffenbachia,“Baraquiniana," with its stems and footstalksresembling 
ivory ; its spotted companion D. grandis, is also very distinct. Pogonia 
discolor, this singular plant has only one oUvaceous leaf which is 
thickly studded with long crimson hairs. The quaint looking. Nephela. 
phyUum cordatum. Two superb Anaectochilus “magnificus” and 
spectabilis. ” Dracaena terminalis latifolia pendula from the 
Philippines, with gracefully drooping variegated foliage; Dracaena
