NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE STOVE 
PLANTS. 
ACALYPHA MARGINATA. 
This remarkably (inc and elegant stove plant, which is a native of the Fijis, is very distinct, not 
only in the form of its leaves, but also in their markings, from the A. IVilkcsiana ( tricolor ) previously- 
introduced. It is of a rather stoutish and vigorous habit, having the erect stems furnished with 
stalked leaves, the margin beset with very distinct and somewhat distant saw-like teeth, into each of 
which run out one or two branches from the marginal vein. The Jeaves are green, with a variable 
border of rose colour, averaging about one-eighth of an inch in breadth. The flowers are small and 
inconspicuous, in tail-like spikes. 7s. 6(7. and 10s. 6 d.

ALOCASI A HYBRIDA. 
A fine hybrid, raised in Mr. W. Bull’s establishment, between A. Lourii and A. metallica. The 
leaves are of a deep olive-tinted green on the upper surface, having stout well-defined ribs and the 
margin of an ivory white ; they are of a dull purple at the back, elliptic in outline, with a short 
acuminate point, and very slightly parted at the base, in which respect the new variety differs most 
conspicuously from A. Lowii, which has the leaves deeply parted. The young leaves are of a bronzy 
tint while unfolding. 10s. 6(7. and 15s.

ALOCASIA ROEZLII. 
A handsome-foliaged stove perennial, with the habit of a Caladium, furnished with tuberous root- 
stocks, and having broad peltate leaves, upwards of a foot in length. The leaf-stalks are terete, 
greenish mottled with purple ; the blades are sagittate-ovate in outline, acute or shortly acuminate, 
the two basal lobes being slightly divergent. The colour is a dark bottle-green, variegated with 
grayish or silvery angular spots and blotches. It was discovered by M. Roezl, in the United States 
of Colombia. 1 guinea. 
ALOCASIA ROEZLII COSTATA. 
This, like the preceding, is a handsome-foliaged stove perennial. The leaves, as in A. Roezl/ii, are 
of a deep bottle-green, paler beneath, the upper surface marked with numerous angular spots and 
blotches of silvery-gray, larger towards the centre, but they differ iron the type in having the course 
of the costa or mid-rib marked out by a tapering band of silver gray. It, with the typical form, was 
introduced from the United States of Colombia. 1 guinea.
