CYRTODEIRA (ACHIMENES) CHONTALENSIS. 
The following is an extract from Dr. Berthold Seemann’s description of this charming plant, given 
in the Gardeners' Chronicle : — 
“ Oyrtodeira chontalcnsis is one of the most heautiful Gesneraceons plants I have seen. The leaves 
arc purple on the under side, and on the upper light green, with very dark green blotches. The 
flowers appear in November and December, and are lilac, and as large as a crown piece, with a yellow 
centre, and a whitish tube. The roots are fibrous (not catkin-like rhizomes, as in the Achiraenes 
tribe), and in habit the plant resembles C. 'inctalUca, which has smaller and scarlet flowers. 3s. 6d. 
CYRTODEIRA (ACHIMENES) FULGIDA. 
An extremely showy Gesneraceons plant from Colombia. It has beautiful brownish gi'cen or olive- 
coloured metallic-looking leaves, ornamented with silver gray mid-rib and veins, and freely produce, s 
its charming bright scarlet flowers, which render it exceedingly attractive. 3s. Gd. 
CYRTODEIRA (ACHIMENES) METALLICA, 
Introduced from South America. It has bright scarlet flowers, and large thick; hirsute, ovate- 
leaves of an olive hue, with red central band feathering out from the mid-rib, giving the leaves a 
metallic appearance ; it is of trailing habit, and well adapted for suspending baskets. 3s. 6d.
