A new species from British Guiana, sent to Messrs Veitch by its discoverer, Mr. G. S. Jenman, Superintendent of the Botanic Garden at Georgetown, to whom we have much pleasure in dedicating it. It is a plant of free growth, sending up several stems from its stout root stock, which also branch as they ascend. The foliage is bold and spreading; the leaves, which are of oblong-acuminate form, are from 10 to 12 inches long and from 3 to 4 inches wide, with a prominent broad midrib, from which the lateral nerves branch obliquely and symmetrically on each side. The ground color of the leaves, a rich bright glossy green, is relieved by a milk-white band at every lateral nerve and by a few white spots interspersed between the bands. The bands and spots are semi-transparent, so that the foliage has the same variegated appearance when viewed from beneath as from above. The stately aspect of the plant together with the striking variegation, renders it one of the handsomest of stove variegated plants.

Dieffenbachia Jenmanii.
