NEPHTHYTIS PICTURATA. 
A very distinct and ornamental stove Avoid from the Congo, remarkable for the handsome 
variegated character of its foliage. The plant is stemless, with terete green petioles growing about 
a foot high, and broadly ovate-hastate leaves, which are abruptly pointed at the apex ; the colour is 
bright green with a silvery-white variegation between the nerves. This variegation is peculiar arid 
quite unique in character, forming a pattern resembling in outline the tips of fern fronds laid 
between the nerves, with their points all directed towards the base of the leaf. !1U.
