been introduced to our collections, till September, 1847, when 
I had the pleasure of receiving a splendid specimen of a perfectly 
upright growing species. from Mr. J. Stanton, Gardener to 
R. W. Barton, Esq., Springwood, Manchester. They were raised 
from seeds, sent by Mr. Graham from Brazil to Miss Barton. 
Besides the size, beauty, and copiousness of the blossoms, this 
species has the merit of flowermg when little more than two 
feet high and in eight-inch pots. | think I am right in referring 
it to A. Schottii, Pohl; though, the contracted portion of the 
tube of the corolla being longer than in that species, it seems 
better to constitute a variety of it. 
Descr. An erect suffruticose plant, everywhere glabrous, save 
the younger shoots and petioles, very fragile at the setting on of 
the leaves, The older portion of the sfem is verrucose. Leaves 
in whorls of three or four, spreading, large, lanceolate, acuminate, 
tapering below into a short petiole, which bears at its base stipu- 
lary glands, small, acute. Peduncles terminal and from the 
axils of the leaves, bearing several flowers forming panicles. 
Pedicels short. Calye deeply cut into five rather large, ovato- 
lanceolate, acuminate, almost Jeafy segments or sepals, often with 
‘a tooth on one side. Corolla very large, of a rich full yellow, 
infundibuliform : the lower half or rath 
contracted /ube, thence suddenly expanding into a companulate 
Jauz (of a deeper yellow in the inside) ; the /imd of five rotundate, 
spreading segments, often with a tooth or angle on one side.
