A native of Chile, where it was found in flower, near 
Valparaiso, in February 1825, by Mr. James M‘Rae, by 
whom seeds were transmitted to the Horticultural Soeiety, 
in whose Garden, at Chiswick, our drawing was made 
in April of the present year. Probably a perennial; but 
enough is not yet known of its habits to enable us to ascer- 
tain that fact with certainty. It has, at present, been 
cultivated in a frame; but may be expected to thrive if 
planted in a warm border, and treated as a hardy her- 
baceous plant. 
Stem ascending, branched, 4-cornered, hispid. Leaves 
ovate-oblong, obtuse, coarsely toothed, sublucid, hairy on 
both sides; the lower ones stalked, the upper sessile.
