STADMANNIA AMABILIS. 
An erect stove plant, of elegant habit, with ornamental pinnate foliage, recently introduced from

ovate, gradually increasing in length upwards, where they are elliptic. The mchis becomes flattened 
and slightly winged in the upper part, and terminates in a point between the terminal pair of leaflets.
