Caladium bicolor, Vent. (Arum bicolor, Ait.). Petiole smooth, 3-7 times as long as the blade, pruinose toward the apex; blade ovate-sagittate, or ovate-triangular, variegated above, glaucous beneath; upper lobe semi- ovate, narrowing gradually to a cuspidate point, the basal ones one-half to but little shorter than the upper, oblong-ovate, obtuse, connate one-fifth to one-third their length. S. Amer. Intro. into cult. in 1773. B.M. 820.—Very common in cult., furnishing many of the fancy-leaved caladiums.
