the flowers. Calyx rather large, oblong-ovate, tubular, 5-lobed ; 
lobes erecto-patent. Corolla large, deep fulvous-yellow ; the éube 
paler, twice as long as the calyx, inflated below the limb: Zimd 
large, spreading horizontally, five-lobed, vemed: /odes rounded, 
very obtuse, the lower one larger than the rest. Stamens four, 
reaching a little beyond the mouth of the tube, their structure 
asin the genus. Ovary ovate, hairy at the apex, surrounded at 
the base by a thick annulus. Style as long as the tube of the 
corolla, a little thickened, and curved upwards. Stigma large, 
two-lipped. Capsule four-lobed. W. J. H. 
Cuxr. A twiggy, soft-wooded plant, in its native country 
attaining a height of from four to six feet. Being from the ele- 
vated region of New Grenada, it is sufficiently hardy to succeed 
as a greenhouse plant, but in winter it requires a temperature 
rather warmer than that of the airy greenhouse ; which, however, 
must not stimulate it into growth before the spring. A mixture 
of light loam and _peat-soil suits it. It will probably be found 
to grow freely during summer in the open air, if planted against 
a wall or in a sheltered situation. It increases freely by cut- 
tings. J. 8.
