GUSTAVIA GRACILLIM A. 
This magnificent plant was discovered in tlie United States of Colombia by M. Eoezl. It has a 
smooth slender woody stem, clothed with elongate linear-lanceolate acuminate leaves, undulated and 
sharply serrated on the margin. The flowers grow from the axils of the leaves in the young plants, 
and from the older leafless parts of the trunk in older ones ; they are solitary or in pairs, four inches in 
diameter, of a charming rose colour, consisting of eight obovate oblong petals, with the yellow 
incurved staminal tube bearing numerous densely packed purple anthers, in a ring of an inch or 
more across. It is one of the grandest and most remarkable flowering plants of recent introduction. 
It was figured in the Botanical Magazine for March, 1875, Tab. 6151. For illustration, vide page 31.

HEVEA BRASILIENSIS. 
An important plant from the commercial value of its product, for it yields one of the best kinds 
of C aoutchouc, which is known as Para Rubber. It is a native of Brazil and other parts of South 
America, where it forms a large tree. The leaves are trifoliolate, with membranaceous elliptic-lanceolate 
caflets, and are clustered towards the ends of the branches, while the inflorescence is paniculate. It 
belongs to the order Euphorbiacea;. Caoutchouc consists of the milky juice of this and some other 
plants, which is collected and dried for commercial use.

HIBISCUS (ROSA-SINENSIS) BRILLIANTISSIMUS. 
A superb variety, with large single flowers of the richest and most brilliant crimson scarlet, flushed 
with orange. The flower is fully five and a half inches across, spreading almost flat, but having a 
short funnel-shaped base formed by the convergence of the bases of the petals, which are in that part 
stained with a deeper crimson, and overlap each other so that they form a circular flower. 5s. 
HIBISCUS (ROSA-SINENSIS) CARMINATUS PERFECTUS, 3s. 6 d. 
HIBISCUS (ROSA-SINENSIS) COLLERI. 
A remarkably free and distinct variety, recently introduced from the South Sea Islands. The general 
labit of the plant, and the character of the ovate foliage entirely correspond with those of the type, 
but the flowers are of a, bull' yellow, with a crimson scarlet base, and are particularly handsome. Bciim 
of a free-blooming habit, it will be quite an acquisition amongst flowering stove plants. 5s.
