This ornamental plant should be grown in a moist stove, 
liberally supplied with water at the roots, and allowed plenty of 
pot-room. The soil should be loam with a little peat. I received 
the plant from Mr. C. Reed, who obtained it in the neighbour- 
hood of Bahia. The yellow-green leaf-stalk, spotted minutely 
with purple, and the rich purple of the under side of the leaves, 
make the plant one of ornament and worthy of cultivation.—
