ACALYPHA SANDERI, syn. HISPIDA 
— The A. Sandeii is a green-leaved species, with 
spikes of gorgeous crimson flowers banging from 
every node. These beautiful floral spikes are from 
‘JO to 30 inches long, and thick as an ordinary 
walking-stick. All the year round it sends forth 
its glowing pendants, and its initial cost being 
small, it is likely to be popular with those of 
modest purses who love the presence of floral 
beauties. Plants, Is. 6(4
