NEW PLANTS. 
ARUNDINARIA KHASIANA. 
An elegant Indian Bamboo, closely allied to A. faleata, but differing in the violet colour of the stem 
and brandies, and also in having tlie leaves quite smooth on the under surface. The flowers are 
produced in panicles, the short branches of which are densely imbricated. It has been found in the 
Khnsin Jlountains at an altitude of 6,800 feet, and also in Assam. 5s. 
CARLUDOVICA WALLISII. 
A handsome I’alm-liko stove plant belonging to tho order of Cyclanths. It has erect semi-terete 
petioles, which support tho spreading ovate blade of the leaf, which is two-lobed and plicate. Each 
division of the leaf Is about a foot long and six or eight inches broad. It is an elegant plant, and 
produces roundish oblong heads of white flowers, which are rcm.arkably sweet-scented. It has been 
Introduced from tho United States of Colombia. 15s. 
OHAMiEOLADON RUBENS. 
A singular dwarf-growing Aroid, remarkable for the metallic appearance presented by its leaves. 
The plant is neat and tufted in its habit of giwth, the leaves ovate, about four inches long, olive or 
bronzy-gi-een, dotted over with minute stellate scales on the upper surface, and of a dull wine-red 
beneath, the young leaves being also purplish. The curious flowers are enclosed in small purplish 
spathes. It has been recently imported from Borneo. 7s. 6<f. 
OCELOGYNE CRISTATA ALBA. 
An exquisitely chaming variety ; the flowers of pure snowy whiteness, without the least marking 
of yellow in the labellum ; in form they differ somewhat from the type, the lip being larger and more 
concave, and the petals and sepals narrower. It may be truly considered one of the finest of the later 
additions to Orchids, and as it blooms profusely during the winter, its value for decoration cannot be 
over e.stimated ; the chaste purity of its blossoms is simply lovely. Price on application. 
CROTON BROOMPIELDII. 
A richly-marked golden-variegated variety of great heauty. The leaves are nine or ton inches long, 
and about two and a half inches broad in the rvidest part. The green ground colour is very dark, but 
everywhere broken up by inegular yellow lines, spots, and blotches. The principal veins are more 
distant than in many forms, and more dispo.sed to assume an irregular course, so that the lines of 
colour which they represent are less regular and formal than in some other kinds, while the variously 
shaped intermediate spaces arc marked over with fine lines and dots. The mid-rib has a .slight tint of 
red, which helps to set off the yellow central band, and the margins are similarly tinted. 1 J guinea. 
CROTON EBURNEUS. 
A remarkably elegant variety, distinct in character, neat in habit, and pleasing in its variegation. 
It has elliptic-lanceolate leaves, which are slightly recurved, about six inches in length and an inch 
and a half in breadth, the colour a deep green, with a broad central band, from a quarter to halt an 
inch wide, of a clear ivory or creamy white, the white colour running out half-way to the margin 
in acute projections at the bases of the principal veins. 1 guinea. 
CROTON ELEGANTISSIMUS. 
One of the most charming and elegant varieties yet oft'ered. The leaves are narrow, and of consider- 
able length. The variegation is of a rich bright golden colour, frequently occupying the whole basal 
half of each leaf, but sometimes extending along the centre, and occumng in distinct blotches. 
Hence the whole of the coloration near the gr owing point is pure chrome yellow, and this, contrasting 
strongly as it does with the bright red tint of the petioles, produces a very pretty effect. This variety 
was raised in Mr. W. B.’s establishment, and cannot fail to become a favourite for all decorative 
purposes. It was one of the New Plants with which Mr. W. B. gained the First Prize at the Interna- 
tional Horticultural Exhibition, held at Brussels in 1876. For illustration, vide page 10. IJ guinea. 
CROTON PORMOSUS. 
A rem.arkably handsome hybrid variety of moderate growth. The leaves are flat, lance-shaped, about 
a foot long and an inch and a lialf broad ; the leaf-stalks crimson, tho leaf-blade bright green, with a 
pale yellow central band running out into veins or small inegrdar blotches ; the principal veins arc 
yellow, enclosing oblong creoles, while the marginal veins, which are also yellow, are more closely 
reticulated, the surface being here and there sprinkled with yellow .spots. These yellow portions take 
on at a later period a glowing crimson hue, the mid-rib and margin especially being of a bright magenta 
crimson. One of the finest of all tho Crotons. It was one of the New Plants with which Mr. B. 
gained the First Prize at tho International Horticultural Exhibition, held at Carlisle in 1877, and at 
the Provincial Show of the Koyal Horticultural Society, held at Preston in 1878. li guinea.
