"Mr. Shirley Hibberd's charming monograph of 'New and Rare Beautiful-leaved Plants, reminds us that one of the greatest triumphs of modern plant culture has taught us the splendour of tropical and sub-tropical leafage, which bids fair to become as popular as that of beauty of flower. It seems astonishing that the colours of leaves should be, if we may so say, a recent discovery. The shape of leaf is no new thing; poets and painters have enlarged upon this beauty of a plant; but the colouring of foliage is almost a discovery. In patterns of veining, in decisive contrasts of stripe and blotch, in weird eccentricities of shape, in rich body of depth of hue and substance, what are all our silks and satins compared with nature's brocades and embroidery? What laws of subtle chemistry regulate these kaleidoscopes of red and green, what unknown influences of light directs their charming harmonies? . . . We may as well mention that the king of these plants, where all are royal, is one which rejoices in the euphonious title of Anectochilus setaceus; it is an orchid, and looks like a cloth of gold fabric."-Saturday Review, Dec. 11, 1869.
