NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE STOYE PLANTS. 
PHYLLANTHUS NIVOSUS. 
This is a decidous stove shrub from the New Hebrides Group. It is of free branching habit, and: 
clothed with alternate leaves, which are frequently almost entirely covered with a mottling of white, 
but in some cases partially veined with green. The flowers arc curious, as are those ot many other 
Euphorbiacecc, being solitary in the leaf axils, broadly bell-shaped, nodding, green, about a quarter ot 
an inch broad. The chief cultural interest of the plant, however, resides in the colour of its leaves, 
which, when well developed, give the plant the appearance of a sheet of snow— whence the name nivosus. 
The women of the Island of Tanna (one of the New Hebrides Group) use the sprays of snow-white 
foliage of this plant for the adornment of tlieir dark tresses; and it is certainly a beautiful selection, 
showing their taste in head-dresses. It has received First Class Certificates from the Royal Horticul- 
tural and Royal Botanic Societies. 7s. 6(7 and 10s. 6 d. 
PHYLLOTVENIUM LINDENI. 
A fine Araceous stone perennial, remarkably distinct in character. It is a rliizomatous plant with 
acrid milky juice, and persistent foliage, the leaves bearing a very ornamental aspect. The petioles 
are green erect, from l£ to 2 feet long, surmounted by the glabrous leaf blade, which is acutely 
arrow-shaped, from 12 to 16 inches broad, and about half that width, the ovate acute basal lobes being 
divergent. The mid-rib of the central and divergent lobes is marked by a broad ivory white band, and 
the principal lateral veins are marked out by narrower lines of the same colour, the rest of the surface 
being of a bright green. 10s. 6 (7, 15s., and 1 guinea

POINSETTIA PULCHERRIMA PLENISSIMA. 
This magnificent plant is remarkable for the distinct character of its floral bracts, the size of the 
heads in which they are produced, and their marvellous brilliancy of colour. Instead of the bracts 
being borne in asingle head and spreading out as in the old form, in this new double kind they are 
gathered into clusters, which fill up the centre, so that the whole inflorescence is full and, rosette-like, 
and of a most vivid and brilliant scarlet colour. It is a strikingly effective and gorgeously beautiful 
plant. 1 guinea.
