GAULTHERIA PUNCTATA. 
Has been introduced from the high mountains of Java, where it was found growing 7000 feet 
above the level of the sea. The description sent with it states that it forms a little bushy plant, 
with neat small foliage, and nearly always in flower or berry, the berries imparting a very orna- 
mental and pretty character to the plant ; the flowers are white and jproduced in clusters, the 
berries black. It is easily cultivated, and makes a pretty decorative plant, and being found at such 
a great elevation, will succeed admirably in an ordinary greenhouse, 
Price 10s, 6 d, each. 
GAULTHERIA LEUCOCARPA. 
This was found associated with the preceding, and partakes somewhat of its general character j 
the flowers are white, as also are the berries, which therefore contrast prettily with the black of 
G. punctata, rendering them charming companion plants. 
Price 5*. each. 
GUNNERA MANICATA. 
This majestic speoies originates from oold and freezing regions, known in Southern Brazil under 
the narno of Campos de Lages. It is one of the last and bost discoveries of the collector M. Libon, 
who met them in marshy parts, and at the foot of the principal source of Sierra do Mar. From the 
conscientious acoount of this traveller, every leaf of this Gunnera acquires about. 15 feet in circum- 
ference, and one can easily imagine the space this colossal plant covers. Being quite hardy, it is 
destined to become ono of our most beautiful ornamoutal plants, one admirable for planting on lawns 
and other picturesque purposes. PnVe n gulnea3 eaeh>

Price 5 s. each. 
HIPPEASTRUM PARDINUM. 
Is a bulbous plant introduced from Peru, the flowers average G to 7 inches in diameter ; the 
following extract from the Gardeners' Chronicle of March 30th, 1867, renders any further description 
superfluous : — “ It is perfectly distinot from all known kinds of Amaryllis, and is remarkable for its 
form, which is spreading, with scarcely any tube, so that the whole inner surface is displayed, and 
for its oolour, which reminds one of the spotted varieties of Calceolaria or Tydma, so closely is it 
covered with small dots, moro or less confluent, of crimson red on a cream colour ground.” 
This magnificent plant was awarded a First Class Certificate by the ltoyal Horticultural Society, 
in March, 1867. Price 1| guineas each.

thickly nettod with distinct silvery white veins, the flowers, which are bright orange scarlet, are 
freely produced, and very lasting.

LITOBROCHIA UNDULATA. 
A very handsome large-growing evergreen Stove Fern, from the Fiji Islands, related to Lite- 
broohia Comans, but remarkably distinct and effective from the well-marked undulation of its fronds. 
It grows 3 feot or upwards in height, and has a dark castaneous stipes and rachides, triangular or 
rather pentangular pinnate fronds, and lanceolate pinnae divided into oblong-ensiform acuminated 
and strongly undulated segments, which are connected by a broad wing on each side the secondary 
rachis ; the lower pinnae are deorsely blanched and the upper ones are decussent, the uppermost 
pair being confluent with the tapering decussent base of the terminal pinnae. Where the larger- 
growing Stove Ferns are prized, this novelty will be considered a welcome addition.
