described to be in its native country; so that I cannot but 
look upon the plant figured by Dr. Linptey in the Botanical 
Register above quoted, with more of yellow than red in 
their colour, as a variety. The fragrance, however, as that 
Botanist justly observes, is not very powerful. Its flowers 
render it a great ornament in the stove, where alone it can 
be cultivated successfully. 
Descr. Stem straggling, branched, the branches round- 
ed, downy. Leaves in opposite and rather remote pairs, 
ovate, acute or somewhat acuminate, entire, waved, upon a 
very short petiole, harsh with down above, paler and less 
downy beneath, where the down is principally confined to 
the nerves. Stipules lanceolato-subulate, green. Corymbs _ 
terminal, trichotomously compound ; bracteas at the setting 
on of the branches, linear - acuminate, hairy. Pedicels 
hairy, and the calyx which has a short, obovate, green tube, 
and five linear, erect, red sezments, longer than the tube: 
within these segments, at the base of each, is a pair of ovate, 
dark-brown glands, and a circle of erect, chafly hairs. Co- 
rolla bright vermilion, salver-shaped ; the tube narrow, 
longer than the calycine segments ; the limb spreading, of 
five rounded segments: at the mouth is a bright yellow pro- 
jecting ring or cup. Stamens included within the tube : 
anthers sessile. Style filiform, as long as the tube of the 
corolla. Stigma club-shaped, bifid at the apex.

of the Glands :—magnified.
