COLEUS THYKSOIUEUS (The Uelphlnlum Coleus) — A species received at the Royal 
Gardens, Kew, from British Central Africa, where it was discovered by Mr. White. The habit of 
the plant is similar to that of an ordinary Coleus. The leaf petioles are 1 J to 2 inches long, and the 
bright green leaves, triangular, nearly 2^ inches wide and rather more than this in length, with 
coarsely serrated or toothed margin. The inflorescence is terminal, thyrsoid, and about 8 inches long. 
The flowers are very numerous, about ^ in. long, and rieh gentian blue in colour. This brilliant 
blue January and February flowering plant is very distinct, and one of the most lovely Delphininm- 
like spikes of flowers ever seen. It is of the easiest culture, and unlike others of its family, has 
green leaves of strong growth, and no't liable to insects or disease. Was unanimously awarded a 
First Class Certificate as the best blue winter-flowering plant in cultivation. Plantj, Is. and Is. 6d.
