the Quindiu Andes, in the same country. For the specimen 
here figured, as well as for a fine young plant presented to 
the Royal Gardens, I am indebted to Messrs. Lucombe and 
Price, of Exeter. It succeeds well in a warm greenhouse, 
and according to its discoverer it resists a temperature of 
the freezing-point in its own country. 
Descr. Stems slender, slightly pubescent, as are the under 
surface of the leaves, petals, and peduncles. Leaves three 
to five inches long, cordate at the base, deeply three-lobed ; 
lobes membranous, lanceolate, acuminate, serrulate. Cirrhi 
slender. Peduncles exceedingly long and slender, almost 
capillary, ten to twenty inches long, one-flowered, tri- 
bracteate. Bracts placed a little below the flower, small, 
oblong, serrulate. Flowers five to seven inches in diameter, 
bright-red. Calya-tube green, globose at the base, three- 
quarters of an inch long; lobes oblong or oblong-lanceolate, 
keeled ; feel and base externally green. Petals similar to the
