FOURCROYA (AGAVE) BULBOSA. This remarkable pi, ant, sent from New Grenada by 
M. Eoezl, is a bulbous Agave. In the young state the plairts form a thickened base from 
the persistence of the broad overlapping lower part of the leave.s, these being linear-lanceolate, 
slightly undulated, thinnish and at first rather fleshy in texture, but soon beooming firmer. 
When in flower it is an extremely striking object ; it produces an immense branched spike of 
flowers, which in its native country attains a height of from 20 to 30 feet. This spike bears 
hundreds of beautiful i>ure white flowers, with the margin of the petals green on one side. 
These flowers have the additional recommendation of being deliciously fragrant. It is one of 
the most attractive and handsome plants ever introduced, and being of a robust and com- 
paratively hardy constitution will succeed out of doors in sheltered localities . 7.f. 6d. & 10 6

GODWINIA GIGAS. 
This is the largest Aroid, both in leaf and flower, of which we have as yet any precise kirowledge. 
It was discovered by Dr. B. Seemann, near to Javali mine, in the Chontiiles Mountains of Nicaragua. 
It produces only a solitary leaf, and after that has died off, the flower spathe mokes its appearance, 
both leaf and spathe being of gigantic dimensions. The petiole is covered with minute spiny 
projections, and has a beautifully mottled metallic surface, brimstone yellow, barred and striped 
with purple, giving it the appearance of a snake standing erect. The blade of the leaf is green
