CURMERIA WALLISII. 
A dwarf-growing stove plant, of distinct aspect, and very ornamental in character. The leaves are 
spreading, and marked with very irregular dark green maculations, some running out from the green 
costa, and others situated near the edge. The intermediate spaces are furnished with hroadisli patches 
of very pale yellowish green, which in the more matured leaves becomes a greenish gray. The colours 
are about equally dispersed, though the marking is very irregular, both as to the size and form of the 
blotches. Introduced from the United States of Colombia. This was one of the twelve New Plants 
with which Mr. W. B. gained the First Prize at the International Horticultural Exhibition held at 
Dundee in 1876. For illustration, vide page 25. 1 guinea.

CYANOT1S (TRADESCANTIA) MULTICOLOR. 
A charmingly pretty variegated plant of continental origin, with the trailing habit of the well- 
known C. zebrina. The leaves arc longitudinally handed with green, white and purple, and flushed 
with rose. It is an elegant plant for vases and suspended baskets, and will be found exceedingly 
useful for all purposes where procumbent or trailing plants are required. It has been awarded a First 
Class Certificate by the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society. 3s. 6(7.

DAVIDSONIA PRURIENS. 
A noble looking hothouse plant, of erect habit, with alternate imparipinnate leaves, nearly two feet 
long, the petioles and raeliides thickly covered with short stiff hairs, and furnished between and 
below the pinna: with a narrow lobate biserrated hairy wing. There are five or six pairs of pinna?, the 
terminal one about nine inches long. The leaves are densely furnished with pungent hairs, and strongly 
biserrate at the margin. In the young state they are of a bright red colour, from which they pass to a 
deepish green. The spreading habit of the ample foliage, and its distinct form, will render this a 
very desirable plant for ornamental purposes. It is one of the most interesting and remarkable plants 
in Queensland, and produces a succulent edible fruit nearly as large as a Magnum Bonum Plum.

DIEFFENBACHIA CHELSONI. 
A very handsome stove plant, obtained by my collector, Mr. Shuttlewortli, in the United States of 
Colombia. The colour of the leaves is a dark satiny green, the costa marked with a gray band, which 
runs out into a feathered edge, and extends about one-third across each half of the blade, the surface ot 
which 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. The well-marked contrast between the. 
three colours renders the leaf variegation very effective. This was one of the New Plants with which 
Mr. W. B. gained the First Prize at the International Horticultural Exhibition held at Brussels in 
1876. 1 guinea.
