from South America. The leaves of this plant are very beau¬ 
tiful ; when young they are of a purplish-green, with the midrib 
and veins bordered on each side with bright violet-rose, and as 
they become matured, changing to a bright green ground¬ 
colour, with borders on each side of the midrib and veins of 
silvery whiteness, the colour of the under-surface being bright 
purple-crimson. It has been exhibited by Mr. W. Bull, of 
Chelsea, and obtained a first-class certificate from the Floral 
Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society. It succeeds 
under the ordinary treatment of stove-climbers, to which class 
of plants it will form an interesting addition.
