NEW AND RARE STOVE PLANTS. 
CROTON INTERRUPTUM. 
The foliage of this plant assumes the most varied and peculiar forms ; some of the leaves are of 
the ordinary shape, in others the mid-rib forms at tho tip a prominent horn, as in the Scolopendrium 
cornutum ; other leaves again have only a portion of tho lamina, there boing sometimes an inter- 
ruption of 2 to 3 inches, whilo others assume a decidedly spiral form. 
The plant is exceedingly effective, both as an exhibition variety, or for docorative purposes, being 
of very free growth, the leaves of a dark green colour, with bright red mid-rib. 7s. 6 (/., 10s. Grf.,

allied plants, and one of the best for general cultivation.

collector, the late Mr. David Bowmami. 3s. Gd., 5s., and 7s. Gd.

DALECHAMPIA ROEZLIANA ROSEA. 
This attractive plant has been introduced from Vera Cruz, Mexico. It differs from tho great 
majority of its congeners in its erect (not climbing) stem. It blooms very freely, even on plants a 
few inches high, and produces its flowers nearly throughout tho year, but especially during the winter 
months. Individually the flowers are extremely handsome, and last a long time in beauty, owing to 
the persistent nature of the large rosy pink floral bracts. Added to these recommendations, it is 
Bweet scented. 
At the Royal Horticultural Society’s Show of Now and Rare Plants, held in*Bfay, 18G7, Mr. W. Bull 
received for Dule.cha.mpia Roezliana rosea the First Prize (Silver Flora Medal) as “'the best new 
plant shown for the first time in flower.” 
This plant has also received First Class Certificates from the Floral Committee of the Royal 
Horticultural Society, at tho Great Horticultural Exhibition held at Bury St. Edmund’s, (he 
National Horticultural Exhibition at Manchester — indeed, wherever exhibited it has received tho 
highest award that oould be made. lx. Gd., 2s. Gd., 3s. 6 d„ and 5s.
