DICHORISANDRA MOSAICA. 
How is this chef-d'teuvre of the vegetable kind to be described, the appearanoe of whioh was quite 
an event at the International Exhibition of Loudon ? Its largo leaves, which are underneath of 
purple, present a veritable Mosaic on the upper surface ; this is formed by an innumerable quantity 
of small white lines, placed horizontally between the parallel veins of the mid-rib. The ground is 
of an emerald green, with a beautiful metallic lustre : amidst these splendid leaves tho flowers are, 
bouquet-like, produced ; they are of a beautiful azure blue, and on each appears a star of the purest 
whiteness. This wonder originates from the regions of Eastern Peru. An admirable illustration of 
this plant will be given in the Flore ties Scares. 
Price 5 guineas each. 
DICHORISANDRA UNDATA. 
This extraordinary plant was almost as much admired at the Exhibition in London as the glorious 
Dichorisandra Mosaica itself. This is a dwarf species ; has round acuminate leaves, these are orna- 
mented with longitudinal bands alternatively of green, reflexed with silvor, aud of green shaded to 
black, strikingly undulated, waved, or netted, producing a charming effect. It is one of the most 
curious, also one of the most interesting introductions of the present time ; in its native habitat it 
grows upon rocks and at the entrance of grottoes, on the borders of torrents that precipitate from 
the steep cordillere of Peru, flowing into the Amazon, and it was in these damp localities that it 
was discovered. 
Price 21«. and 31s. 6 0. each. 
DIEFFENBACHIA PEARCEI. 
A very attractive and free -growing stove plant, introduced from Ecuador; the foliage is large and 
of a bright green, profusely spotted with white, the mid-rib also having a broad creamy white 
lining ; a very handsome plant for exhibition purposes. 
Price 15s. and 21s. each. 
ECHITES RUBRO-VENOSA. 
Every one admired this gem at the great Exhibitions of Amsterdam and London, and every one 
affirmed that the admirable net-work which covers the leaves, yields to nothing but the most bril- 
liant Ansectochilus. This net-work is speckled with bright red (sometimes of a golden yellow), and 
stands out conspicuously from the emerald green ground. It is an admirable plant in every sense, 
and one which doubtless will be received with the greatest interest. 
Price 10s. 6 d. and 16s. each. 
ERANTHEMUM IGNEUM. 
This charming species comes from the same region as Dichorisandra undata. The long oval 
leaves are of an obscurely dark green, covered with a diamond-like dust, through which there is a 
central band and veins of golden yellow, shaded with fiery red in the central part. 
Price 10s. 6(6 each.
