NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE STOVE 
PLANTS. 
ACALYPHA MARGINATA. 
This remarkably line ami elegant stove plant, which is a native of the Fijis, is very distinct, not 
only in the form of its leaves, but also in their markings, from the A. Wilkcsiana ( tricolor ) previously 
introduced. It is of a rather stoutish and vigorous habit, having the erect stems furnished with 
stalked leaves, the margin beset with very distinct and somewhat distant saw-like teeth, into each of 
which run out one or two branches from the marginal vein. The .leaves are green, with a variable 
border of rose colour, averaging about one-eiglith of an inch in breadth. The flowers are small and. 
inconspicuous, in tail-like spikes. 7s. 6 d. and 10s. 6(7.

HYBRIDA. 
A fine hybrid, raised in Mr. W. But.i/s establishment, between A. Lowii and A. metallica. The 
leaves are of a deep olive-tinted green on the upper surface, having stout well-defined ribs and the 
margin of an ivory white ; they are of a dull purple at the back, elliptic in outline, with a short 
acuminate point, and very slightly parted at the base, in which respect the new variety differs most 
conspicuously from A. Loicii , which has the leaves deeply parted. The young leaves are of a bronzy 
tint while unfolding. 10s. Gd, and 15s.

ALOCASIA ROEZLII. 
A handsome-foliaged stove perennial, with the habit of a Caladium, furnished with tuberous root- 
stocks, and having broad peltate leaves, upwards of a foot in length. The leaf-stalks are terete, 
greenish mottled with purple ; the blades are sagittate-ovate in outline, acute or shortly acuminate, 
the two basal lobes being slightly divergent. The colour is a dark bottle-green, variegated with 
grayish or silvery angular spots and blotches. It was discovered by M. Roezl, in the United States 
of Colombia. 1 guinea. 
ALOCASIA ROEZLII COSTATA. 
This, like the preceding, is a handsome-foliaged stove perennial. The leaves, as in A. Loczlii, are 
of a deep bottle-green, 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.
