LASIANDRA MACRANTHA FLORIBUNDA. 
This marvellous plant was first discovered by the late Dr. Seeniann, who published a figure of it in 
his Journal of Botany , since which it has been introduced from St. Catherine’s, Brazil. The abundant 
manner in which it produces its gigantic flowers in a small state, is remarkable ; even plants in 2 to 
3-inch pots, when only about 3 inches high, readily produce flower buds, when the flower may really 
be said to be as large as the plant. It requires to be treated in a manner similar to Plertma elcgans, 
which it somewhat resembles in general features, but altogether eclipses in the magnitude of its flowers 
which are of a rich and brilliant violet blue colour. 5s. and 7s. 6 d. 
LEPTOSPERMUM SCOPARIUM. 
This is the Manuka of New Zealand, a twiggy evergreen bush, with alternate linear-lanceolate 
pungent leaves about an inch long, and bearing a profusion of solitary axillary myrtle-like white 
flowers. The leaves are used as tea in New Zealand, as well as in Tasmania and Australia, whence 
the plant is sometimes known as the New Zealand Tea-tree. The species is variable both in habit and 
foliage. 5s.

MACADAMIA TERNIFOLIA. 
The fruit of this handsome evergreen shrub is about the size of a walnut, and contains at maturity a 
kernel of remarkably rich and agreeable flavour, resembling, although much superior to, the Filbert. 
Judging from its native locality, it may be expected to produce its desirable fruit, with a slight 
protection on outside walls, in an English climate ; and as an evergreen of fine habit and distinct 
features, it will form a valuable addition to the orchard house, also for the cool conservatory border or 
wall. 5s. and 7s. 6 d. ; large plants, 1 and 1£ guinea. 
MACKAYA BELLA. 
This most beautiful Acanthaceous plant is a native of the bed of the Tongat river, Natal. It is a 
tall, slender, nearly glabrous shrub, with virgate branches. The flowers have a pale lilac corolla, 
nearly 2 inches long, the throat ornamented with most delicately pencilled reticulated purple veins, 
tubular below, campanulate upwards, with a deeply five-lobed spreading limb. The plant is very 
floriferous, and when in full bloom, appears a mass of most delicate, pendent, campanulate flowers. 
This charming plant has been figured in the Botanical Magazine, tab. 5797. 3s. 6 d. and 5s.

This is the grand Banana of Abyssinia. In growth it is one of the most striking and noble of 
ornamental plants, and it is without doubt one of the most effective for summer out-door gardening. 
Its immense erect leaves attain a length of 8 to 10 feet, and are of a beautiful dark green, the mid-rib 
being bright crimson, forming an admirable and striking contrast. It attains -altogether an average 
growth of 12 to 15 feet in height. 10s. 6(7., 15s. and 1 guinea.
