MACROZAMIA MACKENZIl. 
One of the handsome Cyoads, wliieh are found inhabiting the Australian Continent. It has been 
obtained from Queensland, and is a fine ornamental species. The leaves are ovate in outline, with 
numerous pairs of narrow tapering segments of a dark green colour, and 9 to 10 inches in length.’ The 
raehis is strongly convex behind, slightly so in front, with the segments of the central portion set on 
at about half an inch apart, the upper ones being more closely, the lower ones more distantly placed

NEPHRODIUM TRUNCATUM. 
An elegant free growing subarborescent stove Fern introduced from the Sandwich Islands. It is 
well figured by Gaudichaud in his account of the plants of Freycinct’s voyage, and is q^uite distinct 
from the N. trmicatum (ahrupticm) of gardens. It has a short erect caudex, with smooth green 
stipes. The fronds are large, lanceolate-ovate in outline, palish green in colour, of a firm membra- 
naceous texture, and are chielly remarkable in the pinnato-pinnatifid series for their ele"antlv wavv 
surface. 10s. 6d. <= j j 
PANAX LACINIATUM. 
An elegant and very distinct-habited stove plant from the islands of the South Sea. The leaves are 
tinted and indistinctly marked with pale olive brown, and form a rather complicated mass of narrow 
.jegmeuts ; they are bipinnate, nearly as broad as long, and have a drooping contour ; and the pinnules 
or segments are very variable in size and form, presenting the appearance of a complex head of foliage 
in which the lanceolate lobes or pinnules have the prepondcrancy. 10.5. 6d. and 15s. ° 
PHCZNIX RUPICOLA, 
This is one of the most exquisitely graceful amongst the smaller Falms, and in elegance takes a 
similar place among Phteniees to what Cocos iVeddeliana does among the species of Cocos. It is of 
acaulescent habit, with wide sjireading arching pinnate leaves, having a slender raehis and very sliort 
petiole, which is dilated at the base and partially encircles the growing point. They are broadly lance- 
shaped in outline, with long narrow pinna3, the lower of which become gradually reduced to spines. 
The innniu are channelled at the base, and appear to be attached by the folded base which joins on to 
the winged raehis, the wings being pressed together along the spaces between the pinnaj and continued 
into the lamina. Some of the lower pinnai and sjiines are set on in contiguous pairs. It comes from 
India, and is a most valuable acquisition for collections of ornamental plants, amongst which it will 
occupy one of the foremost positions. For illustration, vide page IV. Small seedling i)lants, 10s. M. 
PLECTRANTHUS FCETIDUS, 
An interesting hothouse plant, with thick tetragonal villose stems, and broadly ovate veiny rugose 
and hairy leaves, which are crenate at the margin. The llowers are produced in spike-like racemes, 
some two to three inches long, and somewhat branched, the corolla being three-times as long as the 
caly.x, with the exserted tube defracted in the middle. It is a native of tropical New Holland. 7s. 6d. 
SADLERIA CYATHEOIDES. 
A very handsome Tree Fern of moderate stature, introduced from the Sandwich Islands. The fronds 
are bold and of coriaceous texture ; the pinnie out down to the raehis into numerous linear pinnules. 
The sori form a continuous line on each side the midrib, in the way of ddlechnuniy to which genus it is 
closely related, differing technically iu the fact of the veins forming a series of costal arches. For illus- 
tration, vide page VI 1. 1, 1 J and 2 guineas. 
SMILAX SHUTTLEWORTHII. 
An ornamental-leaved stove climber of free growth, and attaining a considerable height. The stem 
bears at intervals large cordate acuminate prettily marked leaves, which are seven-nerved, of a deep 
green colour, marked in the spaces between the nerves with confluent blotches of silvery gray. The 
younger leaves are purplish at the back, as are the ribs throughout. The leaf-stalks are curiously 
deflexed at the base, so that what ajipears to be the axil is at the back of the petiole, while the opposite 
■side, which appears to be behind, in due course developes a young shoot, by which growth is extended. 
The plant was discovered by my collector, Mr. Shuttleworth, in the United States of Colombia. 15s. 
STANHOPEA SHUTTLEWORTHII. 
An interesting species discovered in the United States of Colombia by the collector whose name it 
bears. It combines the colours of Stanho 2 >ca IF ardii with the characters of S. insignis. The sepals, 
petals and basilar part of the lip are aju'icot-colour, with dark puiqdish blotches. The anterior part of 
the lip is whitish yellow. There are dark purplish spots on the anterior blade of the lip. Column 
whitish, rvith a green middle part, spotted purple inside. 10s. 6<i!. and 15s.
