PHYLLANTHUS ATROPURPUREUS. 
This is a native of the South Sea Islands, and forms a slender growing stove plant. In habit and 
aspect it is the counterpart of P. nivosus, having similar terete stems, which are of a purplish hue, and 
furnished with rich dark purple leaves. The plant is deeiduous during the resting season, and puts 
forth its now leaves at first of a dark green colour, but the purple hue is soon developed under the 
influence of light, and the plants then become robed in purple. 5s. and 7s. 6(7. 
PHYLLANTHUS NIVOSUS. 
This is a deciduous stove shrub from the New Hebrides Group. It is of free-branching habit, and 
clothed with alternate leaves, which are frociuently almost entirely covered with a mottling of w lute, 
but in some cases partially veined with gi'een. When well developed the plant has the appeal anco of 
a sheet of snow — whence the name nivosus. The women of the Island of Tanna (one of the New 
1 lubrides Group) use the sprays of snow-white foliage of this plant for the adornment of theii dark 
tresses, and it is certainly a beautiful selection, showing their taste in head dresses. 5s. and 7s. 6d.
