I 



A native of Brazil, whence roots were sent to the 

 Horticultural Society by Sir Henry Chamberlaine, in 

 1827. It flowered in a stove in the Chiswick Garden in 

 January 1828, when our drawing was made. 



Intermediate between some of the larger-flowered 

 species, A. rutila for example, and the rare A. advena, 

 from both of which it is distinguished by the size of the 



flowers.
