The name "margaritacea" means "pearly, " re- ferring to the regular rows of pearly spots between the nerves and parallel with thera, which are characteristic of the typical form. Lvs. ovate-lanceolate, acutely ser- rate. 7-9-nerved, glabrous, purplish below, acute at the base: lis. rosy. B.M. 5104. F.S. 11:1126 (nerves too parallel). I.H. 2:40. Lowe 16. —Supposed to be native of Java. In Vol. II of this work, page 684, Gravesia guttata, y8.v. margar itacea, is erroneously referred to Sonerila instead of Salpinga.

This is referred by Cogniaux to S. margaritacea, of which it is perhaps merely a horti- cultural 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 numeroiis hybrids with blotched foliage. It differs from the type in hav- ing a broader leaf with a shorter acumen and rounded base, and especially in being covered with irregular blotches, which, however, do not cross the nerves.
