NEW AND RARE GREENHOUSE PLANTS. 
LAPAGERIA ROSEA. 
This is one of the most beautiful greenhouse and conservatory climbers yet kncwn, bearing 
numerous large, brilliant, carmine rose bell-shaped flowers, more or less spotted internally. This 
highly ornamental plant remains unequalled in its adaptation for the decoration of a cool house ; it 
is a neat evergreen, free in habit, and vigorous in growth when once established, and continues in 
bloom the greater part of the year. 3s. 5s., 7s, 6^/., and 16s. 
LASIANDRA MACRANTHA. 
This was introduced from Brazil. It is a very free-growing plant, giving, when 3 or 4 feet high, a 
profusion of fine saucer-shaped flowers, which are of a rich violet blue colour. 
This plant has been found not to produce its flowers freely in a small state, but when grown into 
a large plant, it flowers abundantly at all the terminal shoots, and is then an extremely effective plant 
for a conservatory. 2s. 6d. 
LASIANDRA MACRANTHA FLORIBUNDA. 
This marvellous plant, the most handsome-flowered of all the Melastomacese, yields its lovely 
blossoms, which are nearly a foot and a half in circumference, almost throughout the year. 
It was first discovered by Dr. Seemann, who published a figure of it in his Journal of Botany, 
since which it has been introduced from St. Catherine’s. Brazil. 
The abundant manner in which this plant produces its gigantic flowers in a small state, is some- 
thing remarkable ; even plants in 2 to 3-inch pots, when only about 3 inches high, readily produce 
flower buds, when the flower may really be said to bo as large as the plant. 
It is of easy culture, requiring to be treated in a similar manner to Pleroma eleyans, which it 
somewhat resembles in general features, but altogether eclipses in the magnitude of its flowers, 
which are of a rich and brilliant violet blue colour. Ts. 6<1., 10s. 6r/., and 15s.

MACADAMIA TERNIFOLIA. 
The leaves of this handsome evergreen shrub are oblong, lanceolate, spinulose-margined, evenly 
expanded, from 9 to 12 inches in length, by 2 to 3 inches in width, and having a rich green glossy 
surface . In the younger growth the leaves are opposite and in pairs, but assume a tornate character 
as the plants become more advanced. 
The fruit is about the size of a walnut, and contains at maturity a kernel of a remarkably rich 
and agi’eeable flavour, resembling, although much superior to, the Filbert. Judging from its native 
locality, it may be expected to produce its desirable fruit, with a slight protection on outside walls, in 
an English climate ; and as an evergreen of fine habit and distinct features, it will form a valuable 
addition to the orchard house, also for the cool conservatory border or wall. 
As a shrub or small tree, it is stated to bo an abundant bearer in mature growth. 15«., 1 and

MESEMBRYANTHEMUM CORDIFOLIUM VARIEGATUM. 
A procumbent herbaceous succulent plant, remarkably well adapted for out-door summer bedding, 
or for basket culture in the greenhouse. The branches are furnished with flat fleshy heart-shaped 
leaves, distinctly margined with cream colour, and form a diffuse yellowish mass, entirely covering 
the surface of the ground. This has proved an exceedingly distinct and attractive bedding plant; 
indeed, it is diflBcult to convey an adequate idea of its effect, when used as an edging or in groups 
by itself. The flowers are bright rosy purple. 1«. Gd.
