NEW PLANTS Offered For The First Time. 
AGAVE BULBOSA. 
This remarkable plant, sent from Now Grenada by M. Eoezl, is a bulbous Agave and a very 
ornamental greenhouse plant. In the young state, which only is known in this country, the plants 
form a thickened base from the persistence of the broad overlapping lower part of the leaves these 
being linear-lanceolate, slightly undulated, thinnish and at first rather fleshy in texture but soon 
becoming firmer. The loaves on the young plants are from 12 to 15 inches long, and have more the 
aspect of belonging to an ordinary broad-leaved bulbous plant, than to an Agave. 7s. 6d each • 
£3 per dozen. ' ' ’ 
ALLAMANDA CHELSONI. 
Although Mr. W. Bull has imported this plant from the West Coast of Africa, its distinctive 
features are not sufficient to establish it as a species ; but it is a desirable variety from the peculiar 
character of its flowering growth (which is often elongated a foot or two), and its continuous blooniin- 
property, somewhat similar in this respect to .1. Sendersoni. The flowers are about the size o7 
those of A. AiMetii, intermediate in colour between that species and A. cathartica, of -reat 
substance, and free from the objectionable habit of reflesing which exists in the flowera of 
A. Auhlctii, 15^, 
BERTOLONIA GUTTATA ALBA. 
This attractive Melastomad presents a charming appearance, and is exceedingly striking and 
effective, its dark green ovate leaves being beautifully decorated with a profusion of white spots. 
This elegant stove plant cannot bo too highly recommended, on account of its neat growth and 
exceedingly ornamental character. 7s. 6d. 
BERTOLONIA GUTTATA SPLENDENS. 
This variety forms a pleasing contrast to the preceding, its fine dark olive green foliage being 
attractively marked with numerous beautiful large and distinct rose coloured spots, the intervening 
spaces being profusely freckled with dots of the same hue. As a decorative plant it is quite a gem 
its beautiful leaves having the appearance of being sot with jewels. It is one of the most charming 
and attractive foliaged plants that can be imagined. 10*. fid. ° 
BERTOLONIA GUTTATA SUPERBA. 
A seedling variety raised from the well-known and prettily marked i?. ffut/ata, but superior to 
its parent, having the loaves more profusely adorned with bright rose coloured spots. Ss. 
BERTOLONIA PUNCTATA. 
The foliage of this variety is of a dark olive green colour, and minutely freckled with light- 
coloured spots. It IS quite distinct, and forms an interesting variety associated with the pre- 
ceding. Ss. fid. *
