BAMBUSA ARGENTEA STRIATA. 
This handsome Japanese plant has been received from Dr. Kegel of St. Petershurgh, under the 
name above quoted. Like all the Bamboos, it is of an extremely graceful habit, and, in this instance, 
the elegance of the plant is very much augmented by the fine silvery glaucous hue of the under side of 
the foliage. It is of a moderately vigorous habit, and the leaves which are 3 to 4 inches long, and 
about tlux'e quarters of an inch broad, are of a full green on the upper surface, glaucous beneath, and 
striped in a varying degree, but usually freely with white, forming an elegant vanegation. It is a 
strikingly ornamental hardy decorative plant. 7s. 6(Z. and 10s. 6c?.
