LASTREA ARISTATA VARIEGATA. 
One of the most charming of greenhouse variegated Ferns. It has the same kind of firm leathery 
fronds as the type, and like it is of a rich dark full green colour, which sets off the distinct variegation 
to much advantage ; the variegation consists of a band of pale yellowish green which runs down 
the centre of the pinnae and includes the midrib of racliis. This will no doubt prove to be one of the 
most valuable of recent introductions. It was one of the twelve New Plants with which Mr. W. B. 
gained the First Prize at the Provincial Show of the Royal Horticultural Society, held at rrcstou, in 
1878. For illustration, vide page 117. 2s. 6(7. and 3s. 6(7. ; strong plants, 5s. and 7s. 6(7.
