850. ii.it.A. Ricinus Zanzibarlensls— The following varieties of 
Castor- Oil Bean, or f’alma C/irisli, received from East Africa, represent an 
entirely new and distinct class. The plants attain great dimensions, pre- 
senting a splendid aspect with their gigantic leaves, which surpassed in size 
and beauty all the species and varieties known hitherto. The seeds also are 
very distinct, large, and of new and exquisite tints. The variety named 
above produces light green leaves of 2 to feet across, with whitish ribs, 
and may in its general appearance be compared to a luxuriantly growing 
giant Aralia SMoldi. Stem, branches, and the fruit are also of a light 
green colour. Seeds beautifully speckled carmine on delicate pink ground. 
Ornamental foliaged plants, of great effect for large groups or single 
specimens. Gd. per pkt.
