Tender variegated foliage plant with large, ar- row-shaped lvs. marked with white along the midrib and parallel veins which run therefrom to the margin. LH. 10:88. 19:573 (1898).-Tuberous plant from Colombia. G. W. Oliver, in his "Plant Culture,"remarks that this stove ornamental plant should be more used for decorative piirposes than it is at present, for it will stand more rough usage than one would suppose. After a goodly number of leaves have been developed in a warm, moist atmosphere, the plants will maintain a good appearance in a greenhouse temperature and may even be used as house plants. The lvs. are firmer in texture than caladiums. Prop, by division. Before re- potting, put the pieces in a warm sand-bed to encour- age fresh roots. Lvs. oblong-hastate, with acute basal lobes. X. belophyllum, Kunth, has a short, thick, erect rhizome and a cordate-hastate leaf. Venezuela. Var. Caracasanum, C. Koch (X. Caracasanum, Sehott. Coloeasia Caracasana, Eng.), has lvs. pale green beneath, tlie posterior lobes more produced at the apex and the midrib and nerves often rosy. Caracas. — X. Mafdffa, Sehott {Coloeasia Mafaffa, Hort.), closely allied to the preceding, has a similar caudex and a cordate-ovate leaf but the posterior costse are separated by a right or acute an- gle, the angle in the preceding species being obtuse. ^^ ]y[_ XANTHOXYLUM (
