NEW PLANTS SENT OUT IN 1807. 
MARANTA ILLUSTRIS. 
Worthy rival of the other fmo kinds lately introduced. This noblo plant captivated the attention 
of amateurs at the great Exhibition in London. Tho loaves in their youngest state approach M.

bands of ivory white part from the middle vein and become lost in the diso ; the ground colour is 
of a lively glittering green on the upper surface, and bright purple underneath. Tho Flores des 
Sci'rcs gives a magnificently executed plate of this novelty. It has been introduced from tho shores 
of the Amazon.

This Maranta claims in effoct a place amongst the most beautiful of tho family ; although it has 
not the transparency nor the dimensions of -V. Lindcni, it resembles, nevertheless, that splendid

oval, and acuminate. It was discovered on the shores of the Amazon in oompany with M. illustrix.
