NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE STOVE 
PLANTS. 
ACALYPHA TORTA. 
A free-gi'owing stove plant, introduced from the Samoan Islands, remarkable for its curiously 
contorted foliage. It has erect stems, which are terete, and covered by the leaves in a very singular 
way. The outline of the blade of the leaf is semi-cordate, but this is not at all apparent from the 
manner in which the leaves are twisted around the stem in various directions. The colour is a dark 
olive-tinted green, and the margin is cut into blunt oblong segments. 5s. and 7s. 6d.

ALOCASIA ROEZLIl. 
A handsome-foliaged stove perennial, with the habit of a Caladium, funiishod with tuberous root- 
stocks, and having broad peltate leaves, upwards of a foot in length. The leaf-stalks are terete, 
gi-cenish mottled with jrarple ; the blades are sagittate-ovate in outline, acute or shortly acuminate, 
the two basal lobes bedng slightly divergent. The colour is a dark bottle-green, variegated with 
gi'ayish or silvery angular spots and blotches. It was discovered by M. Roezl, in the United States of 
Colombia. 1 guinea. 
ALOCASIA ROEZLIl COSTATA. 
This, like the preceding, is a handsome-foliaged stove perennial. The leaves, as in yi. Hoszlii, are 
of a deep bottle-gi’een, paler beneath, the upper surface marked with numerous angular spots and 
blotches of silvery-gray, larger towards the centre, but they differ from the type in having the course 
of the costa or mid-rib marked out by a tapering band of silver gray. It, with the typical form, was 
introduced from the United States of Colombia. 1 guinea. 
ALOCASIA VEITCHII, 10s. 6(7. | ALOCASIA ZEBRINA, 7s. 6(7. and 10s. 6(7. 
AMARYLLIS (HIPPEASTRUM) HENDERSONI. 
A magnificent variety, freely producing its fine showy flowers during the mid- winter months. The 
predominant coloiu' is a rich velvet maroon crimson over three-fourths of the surface, finely contrasted 
with cream white ; the crimson ground partially extends beyond the main body colour by diverging 
into separate crimson veins or lines, the intervening spaces being elegantly sprinkled with crimson 
spots, and beyond these each petal terminates in a broad ovately-oblong cream white tip. 10s. 6(7. 
and 15s. 
AMARYLLIS (HIPPEASTRUM) HENDERSONI COCCINEA. 
A very fine variety,'similar to A. Sendersoni in habit, equally attractive and beautiful, and blooming 
at the same desirable period. The only difference is that the predominating colour, instead of being 
rich crimson, is scarlet. 10s. 6(7. and 15s.
