Sonerila margaritacea, Lindl. This is the most important species. The name "margaritacea" means "pearly," referring to the regular rows of pearly spots between the nerves and parallel with them, which are characteristic of the typical form. Lvs. ovate-lanceolate, acutely serrate, 7-9-nerved, glabrous, purplish below, acute at the base: fls. rosy. B.M. 5104. F.S. 11:1126 (nerves too parallel). I.H. 2:40. G.W. 6, p. 326. H.F. II. 4:72. Lowe 16.—Supposed to be native of Java. In Vol. II, edition 1, page 684, Gravesia guttata var. margaritacea is erroneously referred to Sonerila instead of Salpinga. Salpinga margaritacea is readily told from Sonerila margaritacea by its 5-nerved lvs. and floral parts in 5's. CH
