Statice 
Puberula. This lovely new Statice might be 
regarded as a dwarf compact form of the well-known 
Statice Arborea. The plants attain a height of some ten 
inches. The foliage is arranged in the form of a rosette, 
surmounting which, is the lovely truss of deep sap¬ 
phire blue, with the highly contrasting mid lobe of 
white in each flower. It is of superb effect as a front row 
border plant. 
We are of the opinion that when better known 
this lovely perennial will prove a leading subject as a 
pot plant.
