A most beautiful plant, ■\Wth something of the inflorescence of Russellia juncca. It is, 
undoubtedly, one of the finest tropical Acanthaoeso ever introduced into this country, and cannot 
fail to be a most important acquisition to our stoves.” 2s. Gd. and 3«. Gd.

ARISTOLOCHIA ORNITHOCEPHALA. 
A climber of very remarkable character j the blossoms are very large, and of the most 
singular structure imaginable. To render any description of it at all intelligible, it may be said to

BERTOLONIA GUTTATA. 
A very fine variegated Melastomad, received from Madagascar, although its native habitat 
is probably Brazil. Its ovate leaves, which exceed 5 inches in length by 3 in breadth, are of a dark 
olive green colour, profusely marked with lines of beautiful rose coloured spots, which present a 
charming contrast. 8^, 6s. ^ and7^. 6r/. ; fine plants, 16^. each. 
BERTOLONIA MARGARITACEA SUPERBA, 
This charming plant has been introduced from Brazil j its ovate*acuminate leaves, which are from 
4 to 6 inches long, and 3 to 4 inches broad, are of a deep olive colour, with a narrow shade of purple 
along the ribs, each leaf regularly marked with rows of clear circular spots, giving the plant tho 
appearance as if dotted all over with pearls, and the under part of the leaf is a bright pink ; its 
flowers are produced in clusters, and are^ of snowy whiteness, with bright red calyx and yellow 
stamens. No description can exaggerate, or hardly do justice to, the beauty of this plant j in fact, 
it may bo looked upon as one of the prettiest objects for tho stove that has been introduced for 
some time. 
It was exhibited among the six New Plants with which Mr. William Bull gained the First 
Prize at the London International Horticultural Exhibition. It has also received First Class 
Certificates from the Royal Horticultural and Royal Botanic Societies, as well as the First Prize at 
the Crystal Palace Flower Show, and elicited great admiration whenever exhibited. 105. 6^^., 165.,
