GESNBEAS (NAEGBLIAS). 
<J4, 
GESNERAS (NiEGELIAS). 
The value of Gesneras, as decorative plants, can scarcely be over estimated. Most 
of them have rich velvet-like foliage, which, in the respective kinds, varies from green 
to crimson. If only grown for the foliage they are very attractive, but during the 
winter they produce splendid pyramidal spikes of blossom, which are extremely 
handsome. Originally, however, the principal colour was orange scarlet ; now, as 
the result of fertilisation, there are yarious colours and shades ; added to which the 
spotting on the flowers of some of the varieties is extremely pretty.
