NEW AND RARE STOVE PLANTS. 
ACALYPHA TRICOLOR. 
A very handsome plant, with variegated foliage, introduced from New Caledonia ; its large leaves, 
which are ovate acuminate, are irregularly mottled and blotched with crimson and bright red. 
It was exhibited at the Great International Horticultural Exhibition, where it attracted considerable 
attention. 2s. Gd. and 3s. G^/. 
ACANTHUS mONTANUS . . 2s. Gd. ] AaLAONEMA COMMUTATUM . 2s. Gd. 
ALLAMANDA HENDERSONl. 
This remarkably fine variety has been imported from Guiana. Tho flowers have orange yellow 
lobes, finely formed, remarkably thick and wax-like, and tinged with brown on tho reverse side. 
Tho plant begins to flower about the same time as the other Allamandas, but when once it 
commences it possesses the excellent characteristic of being continuous flowering ; thus the 
blooming time is prolonged throughout the season, so that it will be invaluable for exhibition 
purposes, and as a moderately free-growing climber unequalled. 2s. Gd., 3s. Gd., 5s., 7s. 6d., to 
I6s. 
ALLAMANDA NOBILIS. 
This is undoubtedly ono of tho finest known species of certainly one of tho most ornamental 
genera of climbing stove plants. It has tho trailing habit common to most of the species in 
cultivation, and bears largo elliptic oblong-acuminate leaves, which are soft to the touch, from 
being covered with short hairs ; the flowers are quite equal in size to those of A. Srimrt/i, being 
fully 4 inches in diamotor, and of a purer full bright yellow, rather deeper in the throat, but without 
any stain or marking, and downy on tho outer surface ; they are much superior in form to those 
of any other species, having the segments broader and more imbricated, so that the limb acquires 
a full circular outline— more so than in A. graiidijlora, which is rendered tho more evident from its 
standing well forward, and not falling back, as so commonly happens in A. SchotHi. Tho plant has 
been introduced from the Rio Branco, in Brazil, and will be a grand acquisition for exhibition 
purposes. 6«., 7s. Gd., 10s. Gd., and 15s.

A very distinct and effective species, exceedingly handsome for exhibition, and well adapted for 
table decoration. 
The ground colour of tho leaves is a beautiful glaucous greou, with grey shading each side of the 
mid-rib, each leaf having from twelve to sixteen blotches, which are almost black, and form a very 
brilliant and striking contrast. 7s. Gd., 10s. Gd., and 15s.
