NEW AND RARE STOVE PLANTS. 
from the prejudice which, no doubt, you share in common with many other hunters after ornamental 
plants, viz., that Psychotrias are unworthy of your attention, and do not possess those qualities to 
which you are specially bound to look. This species is a companion picture of P. cyanococca, but it 
is altogether more robust and hairy a kind, and is allied to the Peruvian P. pilosa, though differing 
from it by having smaller leaves, and axillary, not terminal, panicles. The berries are not of such 
an intensely deep blue as those of P. cyanococca, but their colour is still perfectly lovely, and they 
are larger, usually 40 to 50 growing on a bunch. If one could but dig up one of the numerous 
bushy specimens, crowded with fruit, by which I am here surrounded, and send it to one of the 
Horticultural Flower Shows, I have no doubt what the Floral Committee would be forced to do. 
Eemember also that these two species fruit in the depth of winter, when colour is highly acceptable, 
and you will have no reason to grudge them a place in your collection.” 15«.
