oil each side of the disk, until they again meet nearly at the 
extremity of the leaf, giving it a most remarkable appearance. 
The reverse of the leaves is of a purplish-maroon tint, not 
showing, as in some of the species, the banding through, but 
being of an uniform tint. Doubtless, from the size of the 
leaves, and also from the vigour of the plants, which we saw 
at M. Linden’s establishment, it will prove to be a robust-grow¬ 
ing plant.
