NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE STOVE PLANTS, 
PIOUS EXSOULPTA. 
A handsome plant, furnished with evergreen leaves of a peculiarly elegant form. It has been in- 
froduced from the South Sea Islands. The leaves are shortly stalked, lanceolate in outline, and 
siuuately lobed, tlie lobes are again sinuate so as produce a prettily cut margin, the curious crenations 
giving the leaf the appearance of having been stamped or punched out. This was one of the twelve 
New Plants with which Mr. William Bull gained the First Prize at the Provincial Show of the Royal 
Horticulutural Society, held at Preston. 6s. and 7s, Qd.
