STAPELIAS — Ours is a very fine collec-

place of leaves have fleshy short stems of various 
forms ; the flowers are not less singular for their 
curious and complex organisation, and their re- 
markably strange colour, the odour of the flowers

of this peculiar family.

THE RESURRECTION PLANT— This has 
very much tne appearance of a Selaginella ; in its 
native habitat, when the dry season sets in, the 
plant curls up into a round ball and is wafted for 
hundreds of miles, and when it reaches a moist 
spot it unfolds itself and thrives if the situation 
is sufficiently moist ; when in its dry state place 
the roots iu water, and in a few hours it com- 
pletely transforms itself into a dillorent plant, and 
becomes a beautiful green. Is. 6 d. aud 2s. each. 
AMORPHOPHALLUS RIVIERI — Snake 
Palm, Devil’s Tongue, and other queer names are 
given to this wonderful Aeroide. It is a bulb which , 
after resting during winter, sends up in spring a 
vigorous stem almost black in colour, speckled 
and dotted with rose. This stem finally expands 
into throe large leaves like an elegaut palm. 
Grow in pots in good rich soil ; in winter keep 
the bulb dry and away from frost. 2s. 6 d.
