ANTHURIUM CHELSEIENSE. 
An extremely Inmdsoine hybrid between A. Vcitc/iii and A. Amlfeaiiiiiii, with leaves resembling 
those of the first named. The spathes are broadly cordate, cuspidate at the apex, about 6 inches 
long by 3^ inches broad, of an intense sliining rich crimson colour. The spadix is about two-thirds 
the length of the spathe, and slightly tapering, the basal part white, tlie tip tinged with yellowish 
shade. From the free manner in which the beautiful spathes are produced and the long time wliicli 
they last in perfection, combined with the oniameutal character of the foliage, this haud.some hybrid 
is a rao.st desirable acquisition. 1, 1-J and 2 guineas.
