Very nearly related to Calceolaria bicolor of the Flora 

 Peruviana, with which it has been identified by our friend 

 I^r. Graham : but if there is to be any faith in figures or de- 

 scriptions, it must, we think, be a distinct species. C. bicolor 

 Agrees indeed with this in the colour of its flowers ; but it 

 IS described with an erect stem, and is represented as being 

 very hirsute, with the lower lip remote from the upper; 

 while this has a procumbent stem, with coarsely and doubly 



serrated 



ery 



pubescent, strongly cordat 



and hoary beneath, with the under lip lying close upon the 

 per.
