NEW, BARE AND DESIRABLE STOVE PLANTS, 
FICUS EXSCULPTA. 
A handsome plant, furnished with evergreen leaves of a peculiarly elegant form. It has been 
introduced from the South Sea Islands. The leaves are shortly stalked, lanceolate in outline and 
sinuately lobed, the lobes are again sinuate so as to produce a prettily cut margin, the curious 
crenations giving the leaf the appearance of having been stamped or punched out. This was one 
of the twelve New Plants with which Mr. William Bull gained the First Prize at the Provincial 
Show of the Royal Horticultural Society, held at Preston. 5s. and 7s. 6 d.
