COLEUS AROMATICUS. 
An interesting stove plant, with hairy green stems and leaves, the latter boing flat, ovate in out- 
line, crenated, and of a fleshy texture, and moreover remarkable for having a strong aromatic 
Thyme-like odour of a most agreeable character. It is a native of India, and bears pale blue 
flowers. Tho delightful fragrance of the loaves of this plant alone makes it worthy of cultivation, 
and possibly by fertilization its fragranoe may be imparted to the variegated series of this now 
popular family. 3s. Gd. and Sa.
