description. It would seem to vie with A. longiflora in the 

 size and beauty of its flowers. Their colour is much more 

 verging to red, and the leaves are rusty-coloured below. 

 It was discovered by Schiede and Deppe in Mexico, grow- 

 ing in shady places, near the Hacienda de la Laguna, in 

 Barranza de Ioselos. Its period of flowering in Europe 

 has not been stated to me.
