The leaves of this exquisite variety are of a beautiful rich 
glossy green. The midrib is of a lovely rose-colour, and two 
irregular bands of the same colour run up each side of the leaf, 
midway between the midrib and edge of the leaf. This colour 
is brighter in the younger leaves; as figured, they are about 
the size of nature, although probably, like M. Veitchii and 
others, they will become more largely developed by successful 
cultivation. 
We believe it is the intention of M. Linden to exhibit it at 
the Great International Exhibition to be held in London in 
May, after which it will be distributed. We have only been 
able to figure separate leaves, and not to give the whole plant.
