BEGONIA BOLIVIENSIS. 
This beautiful and singular plant, introduced from Bolivia, is a tuberous-rooted docidnouB kind, 
attaining an average height of 2 feet. 
Tho foliage is light green, and tho flowers bright glossy rod, very freely produced, generally in 
pairs, but sometimes three together. Tho maio blooms are as largo again as the female, averaging 
more than 2 inches in length, of a compressed bell-shaped form, the two sepals being oblong- 
lanceolate, tho two petals decussate with tho sepals, similar in shape but narrower. 5«. 
BEGONIA ERECTA MULTIFLORA. 
A pretty erect-growing variety, with ornamental foliage, principally r-emarkable for its extremely 
floriforous character, but rendered e.xoeedingly useful and attractive by tho delicious fragrance of 
its charming bright pink flowers, which are produced in the greatest profusion in mid-winter. 2s. Gd. 
BEGONIA FOLIOSA. 
This elegant dwarf stove perennial, a native of Now Grenada, has a pretty plumy habit of 
growth, occasioned by the distichous arrangement of the leaves, which are about an inch long, 
obovato-oblong, obliquely cordate at the base, and indistinctly trilobate at the apex. The flowers 
are small, pinkish white. Tho plants assume a pyramidal habit if a leading stem is carried up, but 
if stopped, they acquire a drooping character, and in that state, no more elegant basket plant for 
the stove than this can be imagined, 3s. Gd,
