CARICA AURANTIACA. 
This plant, a native of Bogota, has stout fleshy erect stems, and long-stalked pal mately -parted smooth 
leaves of a soft herbaceous texture, the centre lobe of which is pinnatifid ; from the sketches of the plant 
the lobes appear to be about 1| inches broad. The fruit is globose, a little over 3 inches in diameter, 
orange-coloured and orange-like. The plant is free in habit, and of ornamental growth. 10s. 6 d. 
CAMPSIDIUM FILICIFOLIUM. 
A free-growing slender woody climber, from the Fiji Islands, and referred doubtfully to Camp- 
sidium, from the analogy of its foliage. It has opposite imparipinnate leaves, which are about 
5 inches long, including a petiole of 1 inch, and consist of about twelve pairs of leaflets, which are 
small, ovate, deeply cut into two or three lobes on each side, the larger lobes being sometimes also 
toothed. The leaves, from their size and form, are strongly suggestive of fronds of some small-growing 
pinnate Asplenium, A. viridc for example. The growth and general character of the plant are so 
elegant that whether cultivated as a small pot plant, trained on globular or other trellises, or planted 
as a climber, it has a most charming and engaging appearance. The flowers are as yet unknown. It 
has received First Class Certificates both from the ltoyal Horticultural and Royal Botanic Societies.
