This is remarkable for its fine spreading habit and gracefully curving leaves. It comes from the Feejee Islands. The leaves are numerous, narrowish oblong, or linear-ligulate, much elongated, about one and a half feet long and two inches broad, spreading widely, so that young plants are broader than high; they are tapered off at the apex, and narrowed into a channeled stalk-like base four and five inches long. The older

' leaves are of a bronzy purple color, but the younger central leaves in well-established plants are margined, and more or less freely ornamented with broad rosy pink stripes, or become wholly of the same rosy pink hue which deepens into a full rosy red. Its free-growing and spreading habit will render it a useful plant for decorative purposes. It has received a Certificate from the Royal Botanic Society.

A South Sea Island Dracana, and one of the most beautiful which has yet found its way into our plant stoves. The variegation is in this case of a clear white combined with deep rose, and is most effective. The leaf-stalks are about four inches long, and marginate. The blade is narrowly elliptic-oblong, tapered at the apex, and narrowed into the marginate petiole. The color is a deep sap green, breaking out freely in the young leaves into white, which is most prominent near the base of the leaf, and extending upwards irregularly. These variegated portions take on, as the leaves gain age, a deep bright rosy tint, so that in the leaves of different age the rosy hue is variously blended with the white. It is a remarkably fine plant, quite an acquisition to our choicest collections of stove plants. Introduced in London by E. 6. Henderson & Sons.
