Dichorisandra mosaica, Lind. (D. musaica, Koch & Lind.). St. erect, simple, stout, spotted: distinguished by its large, broadly elliptical lvs., which are roundish at the base, sessile, glabrous, about 6 in. long, 3-4 in. wide, with a short, sharp, rather abrupt point: st. unbranched, robust, spotted: raceme short, densely thyrsoid; sepals white or greenish. Gt. 1868:593. F.S. 16:1711.—Its chief beauty is the mosaic appearance of the foliage, due to numberless short transverse whitish lines, which do not pass by the longitudinal veins of the If. The under side of the lvs. is a rich purplish color. Var. gigantea, Hort., a large form, has been offered. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
