NEW AND RARE STOVE PLANTS. 
ERANTHEMUM ANDERSONI (ELEGANS). 
This charming plant has been obtained from Trinidad by tho Right Hon. Maziere Brady (through 
the Hon. Horace Fitzgerald, one of Her Majesty’s Judges in that Island), from whom Mr. W. B. has 
received the stock. It is a native of India. 
It is one of the most effeotivo and pleasing plants that can be cultivated, tho beauty of its blos- 
soms being equal to that of some of the loveliest Orchids ; these are freely produced on small plants, 
borne in axillary and terminal spikes, the latter some 8 or 10 inches long. There is a remarkable 
succession of flowers; as soon as those first developed go off, others again and again supply their 
place, so that the spikes continue in beauty for weeks. The two upper and lateral lobes of the 
flowers are pure white, tho Orchid-like lip or lower segment is minutely but thickly dotted with 
crimson lake, and broadly margined with white. 
It has received a First Class Certificate from the Floral Committee of tho Royal Horticultural 
Society. 7*'. 6<^., 10«. 6rf., aud 15s.

HABENARIA MARGARITACEA. 
A pretty neat-growing variegated plant, with oblong-acuminate dark green loaves, which are 
irregularly blotched and spotted with pure white ; the flowers are white, small, and produced on 
spikes spirally arranged, which has an interesting effect. It has been introduced from South 
America. 1 guinea. 
HEMEROCALLIS PICTA. 
A hothouse perennial, noticeable for the curious markings at the base of its stem. It is of erect 
habit, with the leaves distichous, channelled, and tapering gradually to the apex. In consequence 
of their distichous ari-angoment the bases of these leaves form a flattened surface, tho lower part 
of which is stained of a brown umber colour, succeeded by a pale or white transverse zone or band, 
which sometimes forms a regular sharply defined curve, while above this the brown stain is repeated. 
This marking is confined to the sheathing base of the leaves, their upper part or blade being green, 
with a glaucous under surface. The leaves when perfect spread out like the ribs of a fan, aud are 
elegantly arched. 
This ornamental plant has received a First Class Certificate from the Floral Committee of the 
Royal Horticultural Society. 16«.
