CEROPEGIA WOODI. 
A very ornamental and graceful trailing plant with slender greyish branches bearing small 
orbicular fleshy loaves, most prettily marbled with silvery white on the upper surface. Intermingled 
with the leaves are small globose tubers from which roots emerge. The flowers aro pinkish in 
colour, tubular, distended at the base and expanding at the top into five dark purple segments imited 
at the tips in the form of a crown. The variegated foliage and curious structure commend this 
plant alike to the connoisseur and to the botanist. It is a native of Natal, and will form a most 
interesting and excellent basket plant for a warm greenhouse, and is suitable for rockeries or other 
decorative purposes. 2s. (id., 3.». fid. and 5s.

DRAC^NA VICTORIA. 
Awarded a First Class Certificate by the Royal Horticultural Society. 
This exceedingly attractive new Dracaena is certainly one of the most handsome species yet 
introduced. It has been imported from Brazil, and belongs to the same section as D. Lindeni, from 
which it is quite distinct not only in the style of its variegation, but in the brightness and constancy 
of the coloration, the golden yellow 
of the leaves deepening with age 
instead of losing colour, as does 
d). Lindeni. Of noble habit, the 
plant is furnished with broad and 
gracefully recurving leaves, wavy at 
the margins, the whole leaf being 
bright golden ycUow, with a central 
baud of bright green, ornamented 
with narrow streaks valuing in colour 
from greyish to creamy yellow. Vide
