pairs, but sometimes three together. The male blooms are as large again as the fomalo, averaging 
more than 2 inches in length, of a compressed bell-shaped form, the two sepals being oblong- 
lanceolate, the two potals decussate with the sepals, similar in shape but narrower. L.v. Gd. and 2tf. Gd.

BEGONIA ERECTA MULTIFLORA. 
A pretty erect-growing variety, with ornamental foliage, principally romarkablc for its extreraoly 
fioriferous character, but rendered exceedingly useful and attractive by the delicious fragrance ofits 
charming bright pink flowers, which ore produced in the greatest profusion in mid-winter. 2s. C d. 
BEGONIA FOLIOSA. 
This elegant dwarf stove perennial, a native of Now Grenada, has a pretty plumy habit of growth, 
occasioned by the distichous arrangement of the leaves, which are about an inch long, obovate- 
oblong, obliquely cordate at the base, and indistinctly trilobato at the apex. The flowors aro small, 
pinkish white. The plants assume a pyramidal habit if a leading stem is carried up, but if stopped, 
they acquire a drooping character, and in that state no more elegant basket plant for the stove than 
this can be imagined. 2s. Gil. and 3s. 6 d. 
BEGONIA HYBRIDA FLORIBUNDA. 
A charming hybrid from fuclwioides and multijiova ; it has very elegant and delicate foliage, and 
is a most abundant bloomer, continuing to produce throughout the winter its pretty bright rose 
flowers in the utmost prolusion. l,s. Gil. and 2s. Gel.
