Sonerila orientalis, Lind. The botanical status of this name is doubtful. In horticulture it applies to a group of varieties sent out by Wm. Bull in 1891, and remarkable for two novel features: some of the varieties have dark purple or bronzy colors; others are peppered all over with an infinite number of small, light-colored dots. All have dark purple nerves. G.W. 6, p. 327. In I.H. 37:113 the lvs. are shown as ovate, acuminate, more or less cordate and unequal at the base, with 9 or 10 nerves, entire: color of fls. not recorded. Habitat not stated. The typical form is said to have bronzy lvs. with an amaranth reverse. Var. guttulata, Hort., has green lvs. peppered with small white dots and is pale green below. Var. punctata, Hort., is much like the preceding variety but has paler lvs. Var. picta, Hort., has purplish lvs. of the type, with an irregular lanceolate strip of silvery gray down the middle. Var. Robert Saltier, R.B. 20:61, has dark green lvs. peppered white and with a lanceolate figure of silver down the middle. Said to be a hybrid of vars. picta and punctata. It has the stripe of one and the dots of the other. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
