K 
ALOCASIA SANDERIANA. 
A remarkably handsome and truly grand Arad, from the Eastern Archipelago, forming one of 
the finest of variegated-leaved stove j^)lants. The colour of the young leaves is luight glossy 
green, and on the older leaves the surface has a metallic blue reflection. The leaf-blade is arrow- 
shaped, the front portion with about three triangular lobes on each side, the basal portion with 
one or two .smaller lobes ; the thick costa and the stout cross veins are white, conspicuously 
bordered with ivoi’y-white, the margins also being white. This is certainly the most beautiful of 
aU the Alocasias, and a most magnificent foliage plant. 5s. and 7«.
