This is one of the Arum-like family, now becoming so popular among leaf plants. It is thus described by Mr. W. Bull, the introducer: "An effective variety of this showy race of Arads, obtained from the tropical regions of South America. Its oblong acute leaves are of a deep green, marked with very abundant elongate blotches of white and pale yellow, which are as well defined on the under as on the upper surface. It is a very attractive plant, on account of its bright and abundant maculation." (See cut page 77.)
