PASSIFLORA BIJOU. PASSIFLORA MADONNA. 
KERMESINA crossed with PRINCEPS. PRINCEPS crossed with BUONAPARTE, 
These two Passifloras are hybrids raised by J. 0. Pickersgill, Esq., of Coulsdon. They partake 
intermediately of the characters of each of their parents, having a combination of their bright, 
distinct, and attractive colours, are very free bloomers, and, possessing all these good qualities,' are 
useful climbers for the stove. 
Price 7s. Or/. each. 
PODOCARPUS MACROPHYLLUS VARIEGATUS. 
A handsome greenhouse or conservatory evergreen Conifer, introduced from Japan, with linear 
leaves from 2 to 3 inohos long by a quarter of an inch broad, very remarkable from being some- 
times white striped, and sometimes wholly white, forming albino branches, contrasting strongly with 
the deep green of the rest of the plant. 
It is a striking and pretty decorative plant from the pure white and effective character of the 
variegation. 
Price 1 guinea each. 
POLYSTICHUM ORDINATUM. 
A remarkably fine evergreen hothouse or warm greenhouse Fern, native of Mexico and other parts 
of South America, and bearing sometimes tho names of Aspulium Moritzianum and Aspiditm ere- 
natum. It grows 3 feet high or more, is of oblong lanceolate outline, and a dark green colour, 
and is bipinnately divided into linear oblong acuminate pinnae and trapezio-ovate-oblong auriculate 
pinnules, more or less incisod or serrated. It is a remarkably fine bold-looking species, and being 
evergreen, is extremely useful as a decorative plant. 
Price 7s. 6 il. each. 
PHILODENDRON LINDENIANUM. 
This Philodendron has heart-shaped leaves of delicate satin green, shaded with metallic olive 
colour on their surface, the under part pale green, ornamented with bands of maroon. The young 
leaves are of a bright chamois colour, and the maroon bands of the under parts penetrate through 
to the upper, so that the appearance of the plants produces a glistening and indescribable effect. 
One of the most brilliant introductions of our opoch. It was found in the low and damp forests in 
the republic of Ecuador. 
Price 10a. 6 d, each. 
PRIMULA CORTUSOIDES AMCENA ALBA. 
A very pretty dwarf horbaceous Primula j the flowers are whito, which are freely produced on 
slender stems, well up above the foliage. It is perfectly hardy, and being a profuse bloomer it 
cannot fail to assume a prominent position as an early spring plant. 
Price 10s. 6 d. each. 
RHODODENDRON THIBAUDIENSE. 
This is one of the Bhotan kinds, and combines the merits of rarity, beauty, and remarkable form. 
At first sight one would be apt to suppose that it might belong to the Correas, or rather to the Thi- 
baudias, the flowers having the same alabaster translucent lustre as that family, and a good deal of 
the form and colour of some of the species oi the genus — hence its name. Its flowers are produced 
in terminal trusses, and are of a beautiful light red, except at the mouth of the corolla, which is 
pale yellowish green, and the alabaster translucency of their texture adds greatly to their beauty. 
Having been collected nearly 10,000 fett above the level of the sea, it is a plant of somewhat 
hardy constitution and character, merely requiring the protection of a cool greenhouse. 
Price 10s. 6 d, each.
