arrangement, feathered down to the ground, and the whole eovered with the fine 
glistening imbricated very dark-green foliage, shining in the sun as so many polished 
mirrors; and the tree itself growing on the very summit of an extinct volcano, 
in debris as hard as adamant in summer, and deluged with rains in winter, accom- 
panied with hurricanes of stormy cold winds, and where not a blade of grass, or 
other sign of vegetation exists for hundreds of feet below, and also that the whole 
group of trees is confined only to the limited radius of half-a-mile.” Vide Oar-

BOHMERIA BIEIBA. 
A dwarf free-growing suffruticose plant furnished with opposite leaves of curious 
character. They are rather largo, rugosely veined, distinctly toothed, divided at the 
apex in a bifid manner, so that there are two points, both of which are acute. The 
interest of the plant, which is closely related to the nettle family, resides in the 
singular form and appearance of these bifid leaves. 15s.

in length, and eight or ten inches in breadth^ reddish tinted while young on the 
under surface ; the upper surface of an olive green with prominent veins which, 
with the midrib, are tinted with dark red. It produces in the axils of the leaves 
cymoso clusters of hypocrateriform flowers, the tubes of which are cylindrical, 
nearly two inches long, constricted at the base when enclosed by the calyx, and the 
limb spreading, measuring about three inches across. The flowers are of a delicate 
rosy flesh colour, with a deep magenta crimson eye. 42s.
