A very pretty greenhouse plant, native of Bathurst, New South 
Wales, where it was found by Allan Cunningham, and it was 
afterwards gathered in the same locality by Mr. Fraser. Tsotoma 
is a name given to a section of Lobelia by the learned ti 
intended for his Lobelia hypocrateriforms, figured by us at *ad- 
3075. This section has been adopted by Dr. Lindley as & 
genus, and to this he has added the Lobelia senecioides of All . 
Cunningham, of which the plant here figured is a variety, wit 
oe leaves more compound, so as 2 ee = 
is species has a different habit and a autete 
from the original [sotoma. And with these M. De Candolle has 
united the Caribean Lobelia longiflora of P 
(Hippobroma longiflora, G. Don). 
counter to such high authority; yet 
genus does not appear to our eyes 
sufficiently distinct from Lobelia.
