is satisfactorily proved by experiment. We have at the present 
moment no means of deciding whether its first discoverer was 
Galeotti or Ghiesbrecht, who, according to Linden, found it on 
rocks near Pantepic; but we learn from Lemaire that we are 
indebted to the brothers Tonel for its introduction into M. Ver- 
schaffelt’s celebrated nursery, whence it was spread through other 
establishments. 
Descr. Stem erect, robust, and clad, as is the foliage, more or 
less with whitish, soft hair. Zeaves broad-ovate, obtuse, at the 
base obtuse, on the margin crenulate, on the upper surface with 
rough veins; petioles short. Peduncles axillary, one-flowered, 
nearly four times longer than the petiole. Corol/a swelling from 
the base, pink-lilac, the lobes denticulated, with purple veins (but 
especially the central one), and the throat white, with orange- 
coloured dots.—Berthold Seemann.
