are here, Fortune’s maculated male being a most lively subjeet, and yielding more and better pollen 
than any of the other males. Great as is the immediate pleasure of introdueiug such fine plants, it is 
very little compared to what wo should o-Kperience a dozen years hence, when they shall have done 
much to embellish our islands/’ 
Extract from Journal of Horticulture, April 4th, 1865, page 266 “ I have already alluded to 
the very interesting variegated Aueubas received by Mr. Bull from the continent, where they were 
introduced by Dr. Von Siebold; but he has some green-leaved varieties which will be, I think, 
equally interesting, and which have already received Certificates both at the Royal Horticultural and 
Botanic Societies. Then there was A. Japonica maorophylla, with a light spinach-coloured green 
leaf fully 9 inches long by wide ; latifoUa, very broad dark green leaf, quite distinct; and mascula 
angustata, very narrow leaf. The variegated varieties were laneifolia variegata, margined with gold ; 
elegant and elegantissima, broad loaf, yellow blotch; mascula bioolor, deep yellow centre to leaf; 
eulphurea, edged with sulphur yellow, the yellow also interspersed in the green; mascula varia, 
distinct deep ycUow blotch ; mascula picta, also ycUow blotched. These are all distinct, although 
it may seem that in describing them as yellow-blotched and green there is great sameness ; but any 
one can at once see the great distinctness that there is in the different varieties, and what a fine 
feature they will by-and-by make in our gardens.”
