NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE STOVE PLANTS. 
DRAC/ENA SPLENDENS. 
A remarkably distinct ornamental plant, of dwarf and compact but free-growing habit, densely 
furnished with short recurved leaves, arranged in a spiral manner. The colour is a deep bronzy 
green, breaking out in the young growth into bright rosy carmine, the petiole and base of the leaves 
margined with the same colour. The brighter colouring appears sometimesm stripes, and sometimes 
occupies the whole surface, while the recurved character of the densely set foliage gives the plant a 
flat, almost table-like head. It has been imported from the South Sea Islands. It was awarded a 
First Class Certificate by the Floral Committee of the lloyal Horticultural Society. For illustration,

ERYTHRINA INDICA ALBA. 
Glabrous trifoliolate leaves, the leaflets of which are broadly ovate, 6 to 8 inches long, entire, the 
terminal one rhomboidal. The flowers, which are white, instead of scarlet as in the type, are nearly 
2 inches long, and grow in dense racemes. It has been imported from Bombay. 7s. 6(7. 
ERYTHRINA PARCELII. 
A very handsomely variegated-leaved stove plant from the South Sea Isles. It has a stoutisli woody 
stem, furnished with alternate leaves, the petioles of which are fully 6 inches long, and support three 
leaflets, the middle one of which has a footstalk of 1 to 2 inches in length, and the lateral ones a stalk 
of half-an-inch in length. The leaflets are upwards of 5 inches long, sub-rhomboidal, more or less 
acuminate, and narrowed in a somewhat angular manner towards the base. The variegation is yellow, 
sometimes forming a featlier-like stripe along the costa and main veins, sometimes more suffused, and 
forming a band an inch wide, in which case the lateral veins take on more colour, and the coloured 
line becomes again branched ; when at its fullest colouring, the centre of the leaf is mottled with 
yellow. There is a peculiar thickening of the petiole with glands just below each of the leaflets. The 
leaves are strikingly ornamental in character. The flowers are very attractive, of a bright cinnabar 
red colour. For illustration, vide page 39. 15s. and 1 guinea.
