DRACiENA GOLDIEANA. 
One of the most muguilicent oniiimental-foliagod plants ever introduced, and altogether unique 
in character and aspect. It is a native of Western Tropical Africa. The plant is of erect habit, 
the leaves being marbled and in'egidarly banded with dark green and silver-grey in alternate 
straight or furcate transverse bands, the colours being about equally distributed. The back of 
the unfolded leaves is a pale reddish -purple or wine colour, and the stem where visible at the upper 
joints is of similar hue. It is, without doubt, one of the most superb of ornamental stove 
plants, and indispensable in all first-class collections. This beautiful species has been frequently 
shown in Mr. W. B.’s winning collections of New Plants. 7s. 6d. and IO 5 .
