DIEPPENBAOHLA CHELSONI. 
A very handsome plant, obtained by my colleetor in the United States of Colombia. The eoloui' of 
the leaves is a dark satiny green, the eosta marked with a gray band, whieh runs out into a feathered 
edge, and extends about one-third aeross each half of the blade, the surface of whieh is also freely 
spotted and blotched with bright yellow-green for about two-thirds of its breadth, the spots distinct or 
coalescing into patches of irregular form. Tlie well-marked contrast between the three colours renders 
the loaf variegation very effective. This was one of the New Plants with which Mr. W. B. gained the 
First Prize at the International Hortioultural Exhibition, held at Brussels in 1876. 7*. 6<f.
