Introduced by Mr. Masson from the Cape of Good Hope 

 in 1774. 



a;, the large variety, has a flower nearly twice the size 

 of that in /3, the present plant, with a deeper poppy-red 

 corolla, and is very scarce in our collections, a differs 

 moreover from jS, in having the webbed intervals which 

 connect the lower parts of the segments at the faux trans- 

 parent, instead of opaque, as well as by far longer anthers. 



Our drawing was taken in the hothouse of the nunery 

 of Messrs. Colvill, in the King*s Road, Chelsea.
