NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE STOVE PLANTS. 
ALPINIA VITTATA. 
This variegated perennial, from the South Sea Islands, is very striking, the underground rhizome 
producing erect pseudostems (formed by the clasping sheaths of the leaves), and these supporting 
•several leaves, which are '6 to 8 inches long, elliptic-lanceolate, tapering off’ to a long fine point, ami 
also narrowed gradually towards the sheathing base ; they are pale green, and marked by broad stripes 
of dark green and of creamy white, running olf from the mid-rib in divergent lines corresponding to 
the venation. Being variously marked, the leaves have a pretty effect, the yellow colour in some, and 
pale green and dark green in others, here and there preponderating. 7s. 6 d. and 10s. 6d. 
AMARYLLIS (HIPPEASTRUM) HENDERSONI COCCINEA. 
A very fine variety, similar to A. Hendersoni in habit, equally attractive and beautiful, and blooming 
• at the same desirable period. The only diii'erence is that the predominating colour, instead of being 
•rich crimson, is scarlet. 15s., 1 and 1 J guinea.
