NEW, BABE AND DESIEABLE STOVE PLANTS. 
DRAC/ENA GOLDIEANA. 
One of the most magnificent ornamental-foliaged plants ever introduced, and altogether unique in 
character and aspect. It is a native of Western Tropical Africa. The plant is of erect habit, and the 
stems are closely set noth stalked spreading leaves, the petioles of which arc of a grayish colour, terete, 
with a narrow furrow along the upper side, the base being dilated and sheathing the stem. The blade 
of the leaf is cordate-ovate acuminate, with a yellowish-green costa, and marbled and irregularly 
banded with dark green and silver-gray in alternate straight or furcate bunds, the colours being about 
equally distributed. The back of the unfolded leaves is a pale reddish purple or wine colour, and the 
stem where visible at the upper joints is of similar hue, the lower parts becoming green. It is, without 
doubt, one of the most superb of ornamental stove plants, and indispensable in all first-class collections. 
This beautful species has frequently been shown in Mr. W. B. ’s winning collections of New Plants.

DRAC/ENA TRIUMPHANS. 
This variety is remarkable for the very dark colour of its narrow lanceolate leaves which appear to 
taper into the stalk by the incurving of the winged edges of the petiole, while in the upper part the 
blade assumes a half-channeled form. The colour is a black purple relieved by the glaucous hue of the 
under surface and of the leaf-stalks, while the edges of the young leaves towards the centre are deeply 
edged with rose colour, which in combination with the dark body-colour has a peculiar purplish blush. 
It is a fine decorative plant, contrasting admirably with the broad-leaved varieties, 11 guinea.
