APHELANDRA OHAMISSpNIANA (PUNCTATA). 
^ ^ A pretty South Americau plant, in which is combined variegated foliage and ornamental flowers. 
The erect steins bear opposite elliptic acuminate leaves, the green luidrib being conspicuous in the 
middle of a wliite central band, which also extends beside the green veins, this silvery band breaking 
up on its margin into numerous small white dots, which produce a pretty and distinct form of varie- 
gation. The blossoms are produced in a decussate spike, composed of ovate acuminate bracts, which 
are spiny-tootlied at the edge, of a bright chrome-yellow with green tips, somewhat spreading and 
recurved. The flowers are tubular, curved, widening upwards to the five-lobed spreading limb, and of 
the same bright yellow colour as the bracts. 3s. Qd. and 58.
