Height 3^ ft.: Ivs. 4-5 in. long, half as wide or a little more, striped with white. Jap. 15: 1535. —Loses its Ivs. in winter, but quickly recovers in spring. More popular than the next two species. The internodes are rarely more than 1 in. apart, while in A. anricoma they are 3-5 in. apart. Var. aiirea, Hort., with yellow variegation, is A. auricoma. Var. viridis, )nilis. This is an old favorite, and far more common than the next 4 species. Rhi- zomes are more active than the next, and demand more room. 15. B. anguBtifdlia, Mitford (B. VilmorXni, Hort.). Height about 1 ft.: sts. slender, purplish or light green: Ivs. 2-4 in. long, about % in. wide, serrate, frequently variegated with white. Jap. CO. Variegation yellow. 16. A. auricoma, Mitford (A. and B. FSrtunei, var. owren, Hort.). Height 2-3 ft.: Ivs. 5-6 in. long, about 1 in. wide, brilliantly variegated with yellow, softly pu- bescent beneath, serrate. Jap. 17. A. chrysAntha, Mitford (B. chrysdntha, Hort.). Height 3-5 ft.: Ivs. 5-7 m. long, 1 in. or less wide, nearly smooth, sometimes variegated with yellow, but not so brightly as in A. auricoma. Jap. Also dis- tinguished from A. auricoma by the lower surface of the leaf being markedly ribbed, and lacking the soft, velvety down. " Being neither frankly green nor frankly variegated, it is rather a disappointing ;—Mitford. coc. Variegation absent. D. Arrangement of Ivs. distichous. 18. B. disticha, Mitford {B. ndna, Hort., not Roxb.). Height 2-3 ft.: branches numerous : Ivs. 2-2>^ in.
