G. chilensis. Bentham in Hooker & Arn. Beech. Voy. 58. 
A neat little half-shrubby herbaceous plant, growing not 
more than 6 or 8 inches high, flowering from June to Sep- 
tember in the open border, and readily multiplied by 
cuttings which root freely.in peat and sand. It requires a 
little protection in winter. 
It appears to be a common Chilian plant, for it occurs in 
almost every collection that has yet reached England from 
the neighbourhood of Valparaiso. 
Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Horticul- 
tural Society. 5 
. Although this is far less showy than G. Hookeri, figured 
at fol. 1747, yet as it is a hardier plant it will be to many the 
more interesting of the two. 
Our figure represents the analysis of the parts of fructi- 
fication: 1. is a magnified entire flower; 2. is a calyx ; 3. 
a corolla split open; and, 4. one of the anthers with a part 
of the filament.
