now represented, whose resemblance to E. splendens must 
strike every one. 
It is a native of the more elevated parts of the Corcovado 
mountain near Rio Janeiro, where it was found by Mr. 
Gardner. It differs from D. splendens in its smaller and 
more richly coloured flowers, in the form of its leaves, which 
are smaller and not cordate at the base, and in its having at 
the insertion of the leaves a ring of fleshy hard teeth, which 
stand in the room of the glands, or raised lines found in 
allied species. 
The accompanying figure was made from a specimen 
which flowered with R. G. Loraine, Esq. of Wallington, and 
which gained. the Horticultural Society's Silver Knightian 
medal in October last. 
Fig. 1. shews the ovary, and one of the two glands that 
peculiarize the genus. 
It is a stove twiner, and requires to be treated in a similar 
manner to D. splendens: viz. to be potted in rough heath 
mould, mixed with about one-fourth silver sand. In summer 
it should be grown in a damp atmosphere, and be amply 
supplied with water, but in winter it must be kept rather 
dry, otherwise it will be apt to damp off. It may be propa- 
gated by cuttings in the usual way.
