leaves of a golden hue, as Mrs. Pollock , which has had a greater 
run than any other variety of the tribe; and those with white 
or light-sulphur edge, such as Attraction , Pictured a. etc.: to 
this latter section Italia Unita , or United Italy ,—for it has been 
called by either name,—belongs, and is one of the most attrac¬ 
tive of the number. It was exhibited both last season and this 
by Messrs. E. G. Henderson and Son, of the Wellington Eoad 
Nursery, and has been greatly admired. The margin of the 
leaves is of a delicate sulphur-white, within that a broad zone 
of bright crimson-pink, marked with bronze, and the centre of 
the leaf green. The habit of the plant is dwarf and compact, 
and as a pot plant is unsurpassed in its class, but, like a good 
manv of the silver tricoloureddeaved varieties, it loses much of 
its beauty in the open air. The flower is small, of a dark- 
crimson colour.
