tab. 3976), it is yet a very handsome plant, bearing its deli- 

 cate yellow and rose-coloured blossoms of a large size in 

 the month of September, in the stove of Messrs. Veitch of 

 Exeter, where alone, we believe, it at present exists in this 

 country. It was sent by their Collector, Mr. Lobb, from 

 the Organ Mountains of the Brazils, during the preceding 

 year, and is a highly valuable acquisition to our hothouse 

 plants. 



Descr. A twining Shrub, with downy and terete branches. 

 Leaves opposite, petioled, oblong-obovate, cuspidato-acu- 

 minate, entire, slightly waved at the margin, somewhat 

 contracted at the base, and auriculato-cordate, slightly 

 downy above, beneath almost hairy, especially upon the 

 veins and midrib. Petiole about an inch in length, downy, 

 terete. Peduncle axillary, scarcely so long as the leaf, stout 

 in proportion to its length, the upper half constituting a 

 raceme of flowers, large and handsome. The lower blos- 

 soms, at least in this country, fall away as the corolla with- 

 ers, leaving a toothed rachis. Pedicels very short. Calyx 

 five-partite, the segments subulate. Corolla between funnel- 

 shaped and rotate, sulphur-yellow, the faux delicate, stri- 

 ated with deep rose colour : the tube hairy on the outside, 

 gradually enlarging upwards ; the limb spreading, nearly 

 horizontally, in five broadly-obovate, waved lobes, ob- 

 liquely imbricated, and bearing a tooth on one side. Sta- 

 mens situated near the summit of the tube. Germen sur- 

 rounded by hypogynous glands. Style slender, filiform, as 

 long as the tube of the corolla. Stigma umbraculiform, 

 with five angles.
