NEW, BARE AND DESIRABLE STOVE PLANTS. 
ANTHURIUM SPLENDIDTJM. 
A strikingly beautiful stove Aroid, imported from South America, quite distinct from 
anything previously in cultivation, the surface of the leaves being remarkably peculiar. The cordate 
leaves have an open sinus, the lobes meeting behind. The course of the nerves is marked by a 
broadish band of deep lustrous velvety green, the intervening spaces being of a pale yellowish 
green. The leaf surface is scabrous, and the portions between the ribs strongly bullate, as if raised 
in papillose blisters. The narrow whitish spatho is slightly tinged with pink, and about 5 inches 
long. 1, l j and 2 guineas.
