Miconia magnifica, Triana (Cyanophyllum magnificum, Hort.). Fig. 2370. Reaching several feet in height as grown under glass (probably a tree in its native place), robust: lvs. very large (becoming 2-2 ½ ft. long), broad ovate and wavy-edged, arched, rugose, upper surface lustrous green, lower surface red, the very prominent veins white or light-colored: fls. small, panicled. Mex. R.H. 1859, p. 359.—Discovered by Ghiesbrecht and first shown by Linden in 1857. One of the best and most striking of all conservatory foliage subjects. Voss (Blumengartnerei) refers this species to the genus Tamonea and calls it T. magnified, Voss. M. velutina, Lind & Rod. (I.H. 41:21), of Brazil, is perhaps a form of it; the lvs. are not arched and colors are more bronzy.
