CYRTODEIRA (ACHIMENES) METALLICA- 
Introduced from South America. It has bright scarlet flowers, and large thick, hirsute, ovate- 
leaves of an olive hue, with red central band feathering out from the mid-rib, giving the leaves a 
metallic appearance ; it is of trailing habit, and well adapted for suspending baskets. 3s. 6 d. 
CYRTODEIRA (ACHIMENES) CHONTALENSIS. 
The following is an extract from Dr. Berthohl Seeinann's description of this charming plant, given 
in the Gardeners' Chronicle : — 
“ Cyrtodeira chontalensis , is one of the most beautiful Gcsneraeeous plants I have seen. The leaves 
are purple on the under side, and on the upper light green, with very dark green blotches. The 
flowers appear in N ovember and December, and are lilac, and as large as a crown piece, with a yellow 
centre, and a whitish tube. The roots are fibrous (not catkin-like rhizomes, as in the Aehimeues 
tribe), and in habit the plant resembles C. metallica, which has smaller and scarlet flowers, and a 
hairy ovary. 3s. 6 d. 
CYRTODEIRA (ACHIMENES) FULGIDA. 
An extremely showy Gesneraceous plant from Colombia. It has beautiful brownish green or olive- 
coloured metallic-looking leaves, ornamented with silver gray mid-rib and veins, and freely produces 
its charming bright scarlet flowers, which render it exceedingly attractive. 3s. 6 d.
