APHELANDBA PUNCTATA 
A pretty South American plant, in wliich is combined variegated foliage and ornamental flowers. 
The erect stems bear opposite elliptic acuminate leaves. The green midrib is conspicuous in the 
middle of a white central band, which also extends beside the green veins, this silvery band breaking- 
up on its margin into mimorons small white dots, which produce a pretty and distinct form of varie- 
gation. The blossoms are produced in a decussate spike, composed of ovate acuminate bracts, which 
are spiny-toothed at the edge, of a bright chrome-yellow with green tips, somewhat spreading and 
recurved. The flowers are tubular, curved, widening upwards to the five-lobed spreading limb, and of 
the sajiie bright yellow colour as the bracts. 6s. and 7s. M.
