ORINUM PEDITNOU LATUM PAOIFIOUM. 
■i noble species, known ns the Wedding Lily, introduced from Lord Howe's Island, producing im- 
mense umbels of deliciously scented, pure white blossoms. The individual flowers are from four to- 
five inches in diameter, and as many as from twenty to thirty are produced in each umbel. The plant 
is of bold habit, with lanceolate recurved leaves and cylindrical-shaped bulbs. Tho delightful' 
fragrance of its large and handsome heads of chaste blossoms makes this plant a most desirable 
acquisition. For illustration, t’/depage 11. 10s. 6d., liis. and 1 guinea. 
CROSSANDRA INFUNDIBULIFORMIS. 
■Vn erect-growing stove Acanthaceous plant, introduced from the East Indies, producing freely 
eompact spikes of flowers of a rich reddish orange colour, which, from their peculiarly distinct and' 
pleasing hue, aro very attractive. The leaves are stalked, ovate acuminate in form, and much 
narrowed to the base, to which the leafy margin extends. For illustration, vide page 6. 10«. 6.f. 
CROTON ILLUSTRIS. 
.V singularly grotesque-looking and strongly characteristic variety. The leaves are mostly three- 
lobed on purplish petioles, the base being oblong, succeeded by two lateral alternate lobes, which, as; 
well as the apex, appear to be twisted or curved, so as to acquire a sort of forked appearance. The 
colour is green, richly maculated with golden-yellow ; the central bar yellow, and the variegation irregu- 
larly distributed, so that sometimes the points are almost wholly golden. It is an extremely distinct 
and attractive plant. For illustration, inde page 8. 2 guineas. 
CROTON INSIGNIS. 
A fine form of great beauty, with long narrow foliage. The leaves are marked with three striking 
and effective colours ; they are linear-oblong in form, the colour deep green, with the midrib andi 
veins beautifully picked out with golden-yellow, the margins and midrib rosy crimson. In tho older 
leaves the markings run in from the edge, and become suffused over the central bar, so that the 
colours become nearly equally balanced, in which state it is very handsome. One of tho most 
beautiful varieties yet introduced. This was one of the twelve New Plants with which Mr. W. B. 
gained the First Prize at the Great Show of the Royal Horticultural Society, held at Kensington in.

point, dark green, with a yellow midrib and a few lateral blotches of the same colour, occasionally 
almost wholly yellow. 15.1. 
CROTON RUBESCENS. 
A finely-marked variety, introduced from the South Sea Islands. The leaves are elliptic-lanceo- 
late, the rib and veins and numerous freckled spot-i yellow, passing through rosy-red in the ribs and 
ornngc-rcd in the freckled markings, to deep green with rich crimson lines and .spotting. ISs. 
CROTON SPECTABILIS. 
A fine large-leaved form of the series with yellow variegation. The leaves hive obovatc-elliptic 
leaf-blades, broad below, becoming wider towards the shortly acuminate apex ; the colouring is 
green, with a pale primrose-yellow midrib, the rest of the surface being blotched freely but irregu- 
larly with pale yellow, sometimes covering the greater portion of the leaf-blade. Tlie veins are only 
faintly indicated here and there by yellow lines. It is a bold and effective variety. 1 guinea. 
CROTON TRICOLOR. 
strikingly handsome hybrid, with finely-coloured leaves of elegant character, narrow lauco-shai>ed 
while young, with a central rib and abundant blotches of yellow, becoming at maturity marked with a 
crimson midrib, and freely blotched with bright rosy crimson, amongst which tho few small portions 
of green colour appear as small irregular patches ; the footstalks of the leaves are crimson, and well 
displayed from the open habit of the plant. 1 guinea.
