808. SANSEVIERIA PARVA. We are not 
sure of this name. The plant is a charm- 
ing oddity. The narrowly-pointed, 6 to 8 
inch, mottled leaves form a rosette. From 
the base extend long, rope-like stoloni- 
ferous growths, 3/16ths of an inch in di- 
ameter. When these growths make contact 
with a damp surface, another rosette is 
formed. If you wish to develop a remark- 
able effect, plant this sansevieria in a 
moss-lined basket. When several stolons 
grow down, say, a foot below the basket, 
lower the plant so that the tips of the 
stolons touch a damp floor. There the 
group of rosettes will quickly form. Then 
raise the basket until stolons from these 
new rosettes also descend. Then again 
lower the basket until these new stolons 
touch the floor. When the second crop of 
rosettes forms, you will have an astonish- 
ing plant. The process may be continued 
until a ‘‘cascade of rosettes’ is produced. 
810. SAXIFRAGA SARMENTOSA  TRI- 
COLOR SUPERBA. Found by us in the con- 
servatory of an English collector. A beau- 
tifully variegated ‘’strawberry geranium.” 
The colors range from light, medium, to 
dark green, and from cream pink to ma- 
roon. Should be an exciting foliage con- 
trast in every collection of Saintpaulia. 
814. ZAMIOCULCAS ZAMIFOLIA. A 
great oddity of the plant world. An Afri- 
can aroid that looks like a cycad of the 
aenus Zamia. The pinnate leaves 2 to 3 
feet in length make a great rosette. This 
plant is a relative of the calla lilly, the 
philodendron, and the elephant ear. 
Sansevierit parva 
812. TREVESIA MICHOLITZII. This is a 
horticultural form of T. Palmata and is 
popularly known as the snowflake plant. 
A prominent horticulturist in France told 
us that it withstood 15° F. in the 1954-55 
winter. This very hardy araliad is a hand- 
some, useful novelty. As a garden plant 
the crown of leaves assumes an attractive 
spherical shape. As a tubbed plant in a 
patio it is most effective.
