DORYANTHES EXCELSA. 
THE AUSTRALIAN GIGANTIC LILY. 
This magnificent Lilaceous plant produces a tall straight stem, on which numerous bracts are 
distributed. The base of this stem is surrounded by a number of fine long lanceolate leaves, and on 
its top appears the bunch of flowers, about twenty in number, each of the size of the common white 
Lily, but of the most brilliant scarlet colour. This is one of the most gorgeously beautiful plants ever 
introduced. 10s. 6d., 15s, and 1 guinea.

ERYTHRINA BOGOTENSIS. 
As the specific name implies, this plant has been introduced from Bogota. The leaves are trifoliate, 
■with long petioles thickened at the base, the terminal leaflets having also distinct petioles, and being 
ovate acuminate, somewhat angularly cut away at the base, whilst the lateral ones are obliquely ovate. 
The flowers are scarlet, with lanceolate falcate keel and wings, 2 inches long, and a narrow erect 
standard of about half that length ; they are produced in a close-set raceme. This is an exceedingly 
handsome and attractive variety of the showy Coral Tree, and a great acquisition for the greenhouse or 
■conservatory. 7s. 6 d. and 10s. fid. 
ERYTHRINA COMPACTA. 
This magnificent variety is the best and most useful in every respect of all the Erythrinas. It is of 
compact bushy growth, producing most profusely its splendid attractive bunches of coral-like blossoms. 
It will be found effective for sub-tropical gardening, and is a desirable plant for most decorative 
purposes, as it blooms very freely in quite a small state. 5s.

FOURCROYA (AGAVE) BULBOSA. 
This remarkable plant was sent from New Grenada by M. Roezl. In the young state the plants form 
a thickened base from the persistence of the broad overlapping lower part of the leaves. When in 
flower it is an extremely striking' object ; it produces an immense branched spike of flowers, which in 
its native country attains a height of from 20 to 30 feet. This spike bears hundreds of beautiful pure 
white flowers, with the margin of the petals green on one side. These flowers have the additional 
vecommendation of being deliciously fragrant. 5s. and 7s. 6 d.
