lliis pretty slender stove climber has been introduced from Colombia. It has wiry stems, and 
coi ate seven-nerved green leaves, the nerves of which are bordered with distinct irregular angular 
patches of silvery gray, which, being thus disposed, appear to form a series of broken variegated 
silvery bands, extending from the base to the apex. The blade of the leaf is about five inches across, 
and slightly more in length, and the petioles are thickened both at the base and apex. 10s. 6d.

DIPLADENIA BREARLEYANA. 
This splendid variety of Dipladenia is one of the best exhibition plants extant. It is of free growth, 
am ot the most floriferous character, in this respect greatly exceeding any other Dipladenia. It is an 
evergreen stove climber of the very first rank, and is furnished with opposite oblong acute dark green 
leaves, which serve as a fine contrast for the superbly-coloured flowers, which are of the largest size, 
opening pink and changing to the richest crimson colour. They have this remarkable peculiarity, 
that the colour increases in intensity with the age of the flowers. Beautiful as were the Dipladenias 
ol some few years since, they have been quite eclipsed by the improved varieties which have been 
obtained, and amongst these D. Brcarlcyana is certainly the most distinct and beautiful. For illus-

DIPLADENIA REGINA. 
An extremely beautiful early-flowering variety, the best of all the light-coloured Dipladenias ; it is 
of neat growth and remarkably free habit ; the flowers are blush on first opening, and change after- 
wards to a most delicate flesh colour, the throat being suffused with rose ; they are of good round 
shape, the lobes well-formed and of great substance. 15s. and 1 guinea. 
DIPLADENIA ROSACEA. 
A distinct and attractive variety, producing pretty soft rosy pink flowers, which are suffused here 
and there and also bordered with a deeper and richer shade of the same colour, and have a yellow 
throat, marked with a bright rose ring at the mouth. This will be found an exceedingly useful and 
effective plant for exhibition and general ornamental purposes. 1 guinea.
