Sonerila hendersonii, Hort. (S. margaritacea var. Hendersonii, Hort.). This is referred by Cogniaux to S. margaritacea, of which it is perhaps merely a horticultural variety. For trade purposes it is convenient to treat it like a distinct species. It seems to be the chief parent in the development of the numerous hybrids with blotched foliage. It differs from the type in having a broader lf. with a shorter acumen and rounded base, and especially in being covered with irregular blotches, which, however, do not cross the nerves. F.M. 1875: 159. I.H. 23:230. G.W. 2, p. 285. G.Z. 19:161.—The blotches are all about the same size. S. Mamei, Lind., has more regular and roundish blotches, which are nearer white and on a darker ground, the under side netted with rosy purple. I.H. 23:254.
