BOHMERIA BIFIDA. 
A dwarf free-growing sufFrutioose plant furnished with opposite leaves of curious 
character. They are rather large, rugosely veined, distinctly toothed, divided at the 
apex in a hifid manner, so that there are two points, both of which are acute. The 
interest of the plant, which is closely related to the nettle family, resides in the 
singular form and appearance of these bifid leaves. 21s. 
BBACHYCHITON POPULEFOLIA. 
This is the remarhable bottle tree of Austmlia. 21s. 
CALONYCTION SANGUINEA. 
An ornamental hothouse climber, introduced from Bombay, and remarkable for 
its bold and effective cordate acuminate leaves, which measure ten inches or more 
in length, and eight or ten inches in breadth, reddish tinted while young on the 
under surface ; the upper surface of an olive green with pjrominent veins which, 
with the midrib, are tinted with dark red. It produces in the axils of the leaves 
cymose clusters of hypocrateriforni flowers, the tubes of which are cylindrical, 
nearly two inches long, constricted at the base when enclosed by the calyx, and tho 
limb spreading, measuring about three inches across. The flowers are of a delicate 
rosy flesh colour, with a deep magenta crimson eye. 42s. 
CENTAUREA ARGENTEA VERA. 
This pretty ornamental plant has finely divided white cottony leaves, and, either 
for greenhouse decoration, grouping in the flower garden, or for contrasting in 
ribbon borders, its silvery foliage renders it of the most attractive character. 
It received a Prize last June, when exhibited before the Royal Horticultural Society,

CORYSANTHES LIMBATA. 
The following extract is from the Botanical Magazine where it is figured and 
fully described by Sir 'William J ackson Ilooker; vide Tab. fl367. 
“ This perfect gem and most interesting novelty was introduced from I ava, and 
flowered by Mr. William Bull, in his nursery. King’s Road, Chelsea, last October, 
and is decidedly tho most exquisite little plant of its size that ever came under our 
notice ; it is, indeed, impossible in a lithograph to do justice to the transparence of 
its stem, the vivid green and white of its delicate undulated and variegated leaf, or 
the sparkling beauty of its amethystine flowers. As a botanical curiosity, it derives 
a double interest from being the first authenticated instance of the genua flowering 
in this country.” 63s.
