A native of Chile, whence it was brought to the Horti- 



Itural Society by Mr. James M'Rae, in 1826. By him 



was found at Cumbre, a pass in the Andes, flowering in 



November 1825. It is a greenhouse herbaceous plant. 



with a pretty appearance, and flowers with us in May 

 Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Horticultural 

 Society, in 1827. 



From «5i^ a gland, and ^g/|, hair, in allusion to the intermixture of 

 hairs and glands for which the plant is remarkable.
