This sterling novelty was first sent out by us last fall, and it is without doubt the most important addi- tion in many years to the comparatively small list of first-class decorative plants, and one that must become valuable, not only in all decorations, but as a plant for the conservatory, the window garden—in fact, for any position vvhere a decorative plant is re- quired, it giving a richness, life and glow of color which cannot be secured with any ether subject. In general habit of growth it closely resembles P. Veitclii, exceptmg that its leaves are longer and more recurved, which gives the plant a more graceful ap- pearance; but the main distinctive feature is its coloring, which, instead of being white, as in P. Vii/tki, is a rich golden-yellow, while the heart of the phint presents a bronzy-or^mge Coloring, which is brightest in the centre, gradually diminishing towards the tips of the leaves. '1 he longitudinal striping of the foliage shows much the same character as P. Vtiichi, being generally, in alternate broader and narrower stripes of gold and green, while in some leaves one half is green and the other half gold. A strong feature in favor of the new variety is that the variegations in the foliage become stronger and more pronounced as they grow older, while in P. Veilchi. the older leaves usually lose the variegation entirely, n the centre of the plant is strongest during the dull winter months, minishing in depth and richness during the hot summer months.
