C. Hofmanni is a native of the margins of woods and 
rocky places near Banjaluka and Jaica in Bosnia, where it 
was discovered by the botanist whose name it bears in 
about 1880. Itis,as grown in the Royal Gardens, where it — 
flowered in July, 1888, a very striking plant, its decum- 
bent flowering branches attaining a foot in length, but is 
doubtfully hardy.—J. D. H.
