brownish red, _ and furnished with scattered appressed ovate-oblong unequal-sided leaves ; thc 
branches are tripinnate ; the larger leaves are distant semi-ovate, while the leaves of the alternate

SELAGINELLA CAULESCENS GRACILIS. 
A rem.arkably neat and pretty Indian Club-Moss. It has creeping rhizomes from which the 
erect arching stems spring up ; these are distinctly branched, the branches ovate with about six or 
seven divisions, each of which is three or four times parted. Its bright green colour and elegant 
dwarf growth combine to give a most pleasing character, bs. 
SELAGINELLA COGNATA. 
A very fine species, of sub-climbing habit, named provi.sionally as above. It has stontish erect 
rooting stems, wdiich are fmmished with obluiuely-ov.ate spreading leaves, set on at about half an 
inch apart. The branches are ovate, eight to ten inches long-, altei-nately pinnate, the primary 
brancMets ovate, about three inches long, with six or eight alternating secondary br.anchlets. The 
leaves become^ gradually smaller on the successive series of branchlets, the small intermediate ones 
converging with the point upciu-vcd, which gives the suifacc a somewhat bristly appearance. It has 
been introduced from the Isles of the South Pacific Ocean. 6s. and 7s. Gd. 
SELAGINELLA VICTORI.®. 
_ An elegant sub-scandent species, hitroduoed from the So\ith Sea Islands. It has ereet stems, 
which produce alternate lateral branches of an ovate outline, flat and closely pinnate, like the frond 
of a Pei-n. The colour is a dark green, the spikclets and young growth being of a paler hue. It is 
allied to S. irulluhii, but is a still more elegant plant, and differs essentially in having a long 
terminal pinnulet to each branch, instead of diiniiiisliing gradually to the end. For Illustration, vide

The Palms constitute the most noble family in the vegetable kingdom, and 
afford sufficient diversity of aspect to allow of selections being made from them for 
tho greenhouse, stove, or conservatory, to either of which Palms impart a richer 
tropical character than any other plants. Some of the miniature dwarf -growing 
kinds are, from their light and graceful forms, admirably adapted for table decoration, 
for vases, and for almost every purpose in which ornamentation is desired. The 
more hardy and larger kinds can be used for sub-tropical gardening, to which they 
impart a most luxuriant grandeur, evidence of which has been given in Battersea 
Park, and in other places where Palms have been thus used. 
Selections of Stove Palms, 6, 9 and 12 guineas per dozen. 
Selections for the Greenhouse, at 6, 9 and 12 guineas per dozen.
