Brazil. B.M. 7252. G.C. 111. 9:83. Gng. 1: 97.—A remarkably valuable plant for large and rapid growth. Very useful in making subtropical effects. Re-described by Andre from plants that came up in soil received with Brazilian orchids which were sent to France. It began to attract attention in France about 1899. It usually has reddish sts. which add to the bold effect. Seeds should be started under glass. Var. variegata, Hort., has mottled and margined foliage. R.H. 1893, p. 9.
