TKe Lace Plant The Lace-leaf Plant. Oirt'lrandra fcn- estralis, was introduced into cultivation from Aladagascar, in 1855, and belongs to the NAiADACivAii, or pondweed family. Jt is closely related to Aponogeton, but differs in having skeletonized leaves. It has been noted that the spaces between the veins sometimes become filled with tissue, causing a partially solid leaf. This feature induced some authors to place it in the genus Aponogeton. vSuch a growth very rarely occurs, and so may be termed a "sport." The plant is a perennial im- mersed acjuatic. The foliage is produced immediately from the crown and forms a rosette of broad, oblong, rich green leaves, which are composed of nerves and cross veins that give it the delicate Ouvirandra fenestralis lace-like appearance from which the plant obtains its common name. These veins consist chiefly of air-cells that give the leaf its buoyancy; similar in charac- ter to the inflated petiole of Bichhornia, and the air-pads found on the under sur- face of the leaves of Trianea, Lhnnathe- iiiinn, etc. In well-grown specimens the leaves attain a length of eighteen inches, and from two to three inches broad. The numerous small white flowers are borne on two spikes, each about two inches long, united at the base and supported by a stem about twelve inches long, and pro- jected about six inches above the surface of the water. Strong, healthy plants will flower continuallv throughout the sum-
