tivation in our stoves. It was sent with the subject of our 

 preceding plate, by Mr. Veitch's Collector,, from the Organ 

 Mountains, and though of much humbler growth, may 

 almost rank with it in beauty. It flowered in August, 1842, 

 in the stove of Mount Radford Nursery, and the blossoms 

 have an agreeable odour, like that of the Auricula. 



Descr. Shrubby, branched : branches rounded, with 

 two opposite, prominent lines. Leaves broadly lanceolate, 

 two to three inches long, acuminate, entire, tapering at the 

 base into a short footstalk, slightly scabrous. Stipules 

 interpetiolar, cordate, aristate. Flowers collected in threes 

 at the extremity of short branches, and three again spring- 

 ing from a main branch, the whole forming a terminal, 

 compound corymb, with copious flowers. Calyx-tube short : 

 Segments linear, erect. Corolla salver-shaped, purplish- 

 blue : the tube very long, slightly curved, and enlarged 

 upwards. Limb of five, spreading, ovate, acute segments. 

 Stamens five, a little exserted. Style nearly as long as the
