NEW AND RARE GREENHOUSE PLANTS. 
COPROSMA BAUERIANA VARIEGATA. 
An exceedingly handsome variegated plant, introduced from New Zealand ; it has moderate 
sized glossy obovato leaves, which are bright greon in the centre, with very broad white marginal 
variegation, the marginal portion of the loaf creamy yellow in a young stato, which diversification 
adds to the beauty of the plant. . 
Price lO.s. 6d. and 15s. each. 
CUSCUTA REFLEXA. 
This curious parasite can now bo offered in nice plants growing on the Ivy. Like its more familiar 
congeners, it consists of entangled series of thread-like, leafless stems, which are decorated during 
the autumn with blossoms resembling the bells of the Lily of the Valley, and these blossoms possess 
a most delicious fragrance. When in flower the plants look very pretty, as if Ivy was strung all 
over with Lily bells. 
Price 7s. 6 d. each. 
DALEA MUTISI. 
This elegant plant has been introduced from the Cordilleras of South America. In its native 
country it flowers freely at a height varying from 6 inches to 2fr or 3 feet, and here, cultivated 
specimens have flowered at 1 foot to 18 inches high. The plant is of erect and somewhat slendor 
growth, very much resembling in its general aspect some of the smaller-growing Indigoferas. Its 
reddish brown stems branch freely, aro clothed with imparipinnate leaves, and consist of elliptic 
oblong obtuse leaflets, which aro pubescent on the lower surface, and marked with transparent 
glandular dots ; the flowers grow in dense cylindrical heads, which are about 1£ inches long, and 
are crowded with blossoms of a deep blue colour. As a greenhouse plant, the graceful habit and 
foliage, and the very desirable colour of the flowers, will render it an acquisition. It is, moreover, 
not unlikely to prove a useful subject for planting against a conservatory wall, or, perhaps, for 
occupying a place in the choice shrubbery border, or tho mixed flower garden during the summer.

with neat small foliage, and nearly always in flowor or berry, the berries imparting a very orna- 
mental and pretty character to the plant ; the flowers are white and produced in clusters, the 
berries black. 
Price 7s. 6d. each. 
GAULTHERIA LEUCOCARPA. 
This was found associated with tho preceding, and partakes somewhat of its general character ;

G. punctata, rendering them charming companion plants.
