LASTREA ARI3TATA VARIEGATA. 
One of the most channing of greenhouse varieg.ated Ferns. It has the same kind of firm leathery

distinct variegation consisting of a well-defined band of pale yellowish green running dotvn the centre 
of the pinna: and including the midrib or rachis. This will no doubt prove to be one of the most 
Valuable of recent introductions. It was one of the twelve New Plants with which Mr. W. B. 
gained the First Prize at tlie Provincial .Show of the Royal Horticultural Society, held at Preston, in 
1878. For illustration, vide page 142. 2s. 6(7. and 3s. 6(7.
