Marbled and spotted with yellow and rich crimson. 40 cts, PICTQS {see cat). This distinct and rare variety is not a garden hybrid, but an introduction from the Duke of York Island. Its bold and deeply laciniated foliage is curiously streaked with rich brown, on a bright green or yellow ground, the brown turning to bright red on the yellow surface. These peculiar markings, and the unusual form of the leaves, give the plant a bizarre and curious appearance. It Avill doubtless stand the sun well, and be a forerunner of a new type of seedling varieties. 50 cents, $5 per dozen.
