DIPLAZIUM ARNOTTII. 
A stout free-growing arborescent Fern from the Sandwich Islands, and consequently requiring stove 
heat. The fronds arc of a broad or triangular outline, the pinnae oblong acuminate, and the pinnules 
of the same form and cut into close-set lobes, bearing the duplex sori which are characteristic of 
Diplazium. It is a large growing plant, and consequently well adapted for clothing masses of bold 
rockwork in warm plant houses. 10s. 6d.

DRAC/ENA TRIUMPHANS. 
This variety is remarkable for the very dark colorrr of its narrow lanceolate leaves which appear to taper 
into the stalk by the incurving of the winged edges of the petiole, while in the upper part the blade 
assumes a half-ebanneled form. The colour is a black puiple relieved by the glaucous hue of the 
under surface and of the leaf-stalks, while the edges of the young leaves towards the centre are deeply 
edged with rose colour, which in combination with the dark body-colour has a peculiar purplish blush.
