Medinilla magnifica, Lindl. Figs. 2344,2345. Evergreen shrub: lvs. with 9-13 nerves, which run from various points along the midrib to the margin or apex, ovate or ovate- oblong: bracts 1-4 in. long. Philippines. B.M. 4533. F.S. 6:572; 9:968 (splendid). Gn. 51, p. 394. G.C. II. 2:421; III. 49:226. R.B. 33, p. 72; 36, p. 54. G. 31:357. J.F. 1:56, 57; 3:298. G.W. 1, p. 6; 10, p. 431. R.H. 1857, pp. 319, 343; 1896, pp. 102, 103. A.F. 7:1047.— Other interesting features are the whorled branches, each one 4-ridged or winged, and the dense ring of short fleshy processes at the joints between the lvs. It can be prop. by seeds or cuttings of young wood in heat. M. magnified is one of the most gorgeous tropical plants in cult. It has handsome broad, shining, leathery foliage and coral-red 5-petaled fls., each about 1 in. across, which are borne in pendulous pyramidal panicles sometimes a foot long, and bearing 100-150 fls. The axis and branches of the panicle are pinkish, and the same color tinges the large showy bracts, which are sometimes 4 in. long. Hooker says: "Its most beautiful state is, perhaps, before the full perfection of the fls.. when the large imbricated bracts begin to separate and allow the buds to be partially seen. As the expansion of the blossoms advances, the upper bracts fall off, but the lower ones remain and become reflexed." This remarkable plant flowers copiously when only 2 or 3 ft. high, and a large well-kept specimen in bloom is a worthy ambition of a gardener. The numerous long bent purple anthers, with their yellow filaments, form an additional feature of interest.<br />
