NEW SONEEILAS, 
SONEEILA OEIENTALIS. 
SONEEILA OEIENTALIS GUTTULATA. 
SONEEILA OEIENTALIS PICTA. 
SONEEILA OEIENTALIS PUNCTATA. 
These new and handsome flowering ornamental foliaged .stove plants form a very distinct 
and desirable addition to the Melastomacese, four varieties being now offered for the first time. The 
flowers, which are of a bright rose or purple colour, are produced in the utmost profusion from the 
top of every gi-owth, the mass of bloom thus thrown just above the foliage haATng a most 
pleasing effect, considerably enhanced by the prominent hom-like, bright golden anthers. As will 
be seen by the illustration, the foliage is also very ornamental, one variety having a very striking 
blotch or bar of creamy white in the centre of the leaf, another has crimson maroon leaves, 
covered with scarlet hairs, while the foliage of the other two kinds are decorated with a multitude 
of white dots or spots on light and dark green grounds respectively. They were discovered on 
the Arracan Hills at an elevation of 4,000 feet. Vide woodcut page 3. 7«. Bd. each, or the set of 
four varieties for 21>. A beautiful coloured illustration of these four varieties can be supplied,

STEEPTOCAEPUS EEXII PUEPUEEUS. 
A very pretty and distinct hybrid, producing a profusion of bluish purple flowers, the lower 
lobes being ornamented with a rich pliun-coloured blotch or marking. During the summer these 
useful decorative plants will succeed well in a greenhouse, but in the winter requme the 
temperature of a stove. 5s. 
GEEENHOUSE EHODODENDEON, MYEA. 
This cnaste and pretty hybrid is a most de.sirable addition to the handsome and perpetual 
flowering section of Rhododendrons, and blooming as they do from almost every growth, too much 
can hardly bo said in their favour. The variety now offered produces in the freest manner large 
trusses of well-shaped pure white flowers, the petals being charmingly crisped and undulated. 10«. Bd.
