the plant produces throughout the summer months. It 
strikes very freely from cuttings. Our drawing was made 
a few years ago from a comparatively small individual in the 
greenhouse of the Glasgow Botanic Garden. As an addi- 
tional recommendation to the cultivation of this plant, the 
flowers are fragrant ; though heavy if too strongly inhaled. 
Descr. Stem woody; young branches herbaceous, green, 
terete, glabrous. Leaves alternate, petiolate, ovate, acute 
or acuminate, the base obtuse, rarely subcordate, the mar- 
gins entire, waved. Petiole from half an inch to an inch 
long. Corymbs on terminal, leafless branches ; large when 
cultivated successfully, handsome. Pedicels, at first, curved 
downwards, so that the buds are drooping. Calyx cup- 
shaped, cut into five short, acute, spreading lobes, downy 
on the outside. Corolla an inch or more in diameter, ro- 
tate, cut almost to the base into five horizontal, waved seg- 
ments, of a palish purple, marked with a central streak of 
red. Anthers connate, five, yellow, on short, white jila- 
ments, Style protruded beyond the anther-tube.
