A fine hybrid, raised in Jlr. W. BfLn’.s establishment, between A. Luwii and A. metallica. The 
leaves are of a deep olive-tinted green on the upper surface, having stout well-defined ribs and the 
margin of an ivory white ; they are of a dull purple at the back, elliptic in outline, with a short 
acuminate point, and very slightly parted at the base, in which respect the new variety differs most 
conspicuously from A. Lowii, which has the leaves deeply parted. The young leaves are of a bronzy 
tint while unfolding. IS.’, and 1 guinea.

deflexed, IJ foot long, peltately attached, ovately sagittate, with bluntish basil lobes, rounded in front, 
with a small apiculate point, the colour a rich green, marked between the principal veins by broad 
patches of blackish olive, extending almost from the midrib to the margin, and forming a striking 
contrast with the brighter green portions of the leaf surface. It is somewhat in the way of A. jenningsii, 
but is of much larger and more vigorous growth, and of a -brighter, less glaucous green. It uas 
obtained from the East Indies For illustration, vide page 32. 7s. 6(7. and 10s. 6(7.

A remarkably fine new Avoid, related to, and much in the way of, A. jenninysti, but differing in 
having a broad grey band down the centre of the leaf. The leaves are ovate-peltate, attached to 
erect green stalks, the blade.s standing almost vertical, while the colour is a bright green, marked 
between the principal veins with broad wedge-shaped blotches of blackish purple ; the addition of the 
silvery band adds very gi'eatly to their beauty. It was imported from India. 7s. 6(7. and 10s. 6(7.
