ARISTOLOCHIA ELEGANS. 
A beautiful free-flowering species of neat growth, imported from Brazil. It has cordate ovate 
leaves, smooth above, and glaucescent beneath. The handsome and elegant flowers have a slightly 
distended tube, which is suddenly bent upwards, the upper part dilated into a cordate cup- 
shaped limb of a rich dark purple colour, ornamented throughout with irregular branched 
markings of a creamy white, and having a golden yellow eye surrounded by rich velvety purple. 
Its blossoms are produced in the greatest profusion, even on small plants, and are entirely free from 
the objectionable odour peculiar to the genus. It has been certificated by the Eoyal Horticultural 
Society, and is described and figured in the Gardeners' Chronicle for September 5, 1885. 3«. 6rf. & os.
