Aphelandea MAEGAElTiE, IS. Morren {La Belg. 
Hort., 1883, 315 t. 19).—A beautiful dwarf stove 
plant, with cylindrical hairy stems, and decussate 
short-stalked elliptic leaves, of a clear rose beneath, 
and marked on the upper surface with about half a 
dozen oblique bars of white on each side the midrib. 
The flowers grow in short terminal spikes from 
between pectinate bracts, and are pubescent, and 
wholly of a bright orange or apricot colour. Lik'' 
the rest of the species it probably is a native of 
Central America. 
Beebeeis congestifloeahakeoides, lIooTc.fd. 
{Bot. Mag., t. 6770, as congestifolia).—A rather 
attractive species of Berberry, presumably evergreen

cultivated species. It is a stout bush, 6—7 feet 
high, the terminal branches elongate and decurved 
and crowded with leaves and flowers. The leaves 
are orbicular or broadly-oblong, short-stalked, 
leathery with the margin strongly spinulose-dentate.
