NEW AND RARE STOVE PLANTS. 
ACANTHUS MONTANUS. 
This plant, handsome alike for foliage and blossom, has been introduced from Africa; the leaves 
are nearly a foot long and 3 to 5 inches broad, dentated, spined, and sinuated, the flowers one- 
lipped, pink or lilac rose, produced in spikes. 
A figure of it has been given in the Botanical Magazine. 
Price 2 s. 6 d. each. 
ALLAMANDA HENDERSON I. 
This remarkably fine variety lias been imported from Guiana. Orange yellow, lobes finely formed, 
immensely thick and wax-like, and tinged with brown on the reverse side. The 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 j thus the blooming-time is prolonged 
throughout the season, so that it will be invaluable for exhibition purposes, and, as a free-growing 
climber, unequalled. 
Price 2s. 6d. t 35. G d., 5s., 7s. 6d. f to 155. each. 
ALLAMANDA NOBILIS. 
This is undoubtedly one of the finest known species of certainly one of the most ornamental 
genera of these climbing plants. It has the trailing habit common to most of the species in culti- 
vation, and bears large elliptic oblong-acuminate leaves, which are soft to the touch, from being 
covered with short hairs; the flowers aro quite equal in size to those of A. Scliotti, being fully 
4 inches in diameter, and of a purer full bright yellow, rather deeper in the throat, but without 
any stain or marking, and downy on the outer surface ; they aro 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. grandijlora, which is rendered the more evident from its 
standing well forward, and not falling back, as so commonly happens in A. ScUotti. The plant has 
boen introduced from the Rio Brauco, in Brazil, aud will be a grand acquisition for exhibition 
purposes. 
Price 1 guinea each; extra strong, 1J and 2 guineas each.
