since been distinguished under the name of G. Suttonz, 
chiefly on account of its one-flowered peduncles. We now 
represent the true G. bulbosa, with many-flowered cymes, 
from a specimen received from Joun Attcarp, Esq., who 
imported it from Brazil, and in whose stove it flowered 
magnificently in October, 1840. 
Descr. Tuber large, rounded. Stem erect, herbaceous, 
simple, about two feet high, downy. Leaves opposite, 
on short petioles, large, broadly ovato-cordate, crenately 
toothed, thick and downy on both sides. Panicle ter- 
minal, ample, crowded, consisting of a considerable number 
of opposite cymes, each cyme bearing on a short, common 
peduncle, six to ten or more splendidly-coloured, scarlet 
flowers. Bracteas small, nearly cordate, entire. Calyx five- 
cleft, the segments broad and rather short, and covered 
with a red, glandular tomentum. Corolla three inches 
long, rich scarlet, tubular, enlarged upward, contracted 
just above the base, the very base inflated with five lobes 
or protuberances, the whole corolla covered with a fine 
down. Stamens inserted in the base of the tube ; filaments 
arched upwards and meeting ; anthers slightly cohering in 
the form of across. Germen nearly half free ; the lower 
half imbedded in the tube of the calyx, downy and red. 
Glands two, yellow. Style downy. Stigma broad, obtuse, 
very slightly two-lobed.
