PHILODENDRON OARDERI. 
Tills exquisitely colored Arad is a native of South America, whence it was sent to England by the 
collector, whose name it bears. The leaves are cordate, broadish, of a dark shaded .bottle green witli 
a satiuy lustre, the principal ribs being marked out by bright green lines of a glaucous or metallic hue ; 
at the back the leaves are of a shaded wine jiurple, the coui'se of the veins being marked by broad 
green lines. The glossy shaded satiny surface of the leaves imparts to them a wondrous degree 
of beauty. 
This was one of the twelve New Plants with which Mr. AV. li. gained the First Prise at the Provin- 
cial Show of the Royal Horticultural Society held at Preston in 1878, and one of the nine New 
Plants with which Mr. W. B. gained the First Prize at the Great Show of tlio Royal Horticultural

PSYOHOTRIA CYANOCOCCA. 
If one were to search the vegetable kingdom through, it would be difficult to find any other plant 
which displays, either in its flowers, fruit, or seeds, such a beautiful ultramarine colour as is exhibited 
by the berries of this species from Chontales, Nicaragua. The coleur and size of the flowers is disap- 
pointing to the lovers of gay tints and large blossoms, but as soon as the fruit begins to assume shape 
and substance, a tint is displayed which can be but imperfectly rendered by the Greek tenn cyanexis. 
In its native woods, the plant grows as underwood, and is loaded throughout the winter with largo 
blue benies, as many as from 30 to 35 grorving on one bunch. 3s. 6(7. and 5s.
