the former as long ago as 1823, while 7. selaginoides, Walp. 
(= Z. villosa, F. W. Schmidt) also finds a place in some of 
our horticultural dictionaries. It is probable that they soon 
disappeared, for like many Scrophulariaceae with strikingly 
attractive flowers the species of Zaluzianskya do not appear 
to thrive for long when removed from their native environ- 
ment. The flowers of 7. maritima, as in other species of 
the genus, open only in the evening or in dull weather. 
When expanded they are very fragrant. 
Z. maritima is widely spread in South Africa, and is met 
with at a low level near the sea as well as far inland at 
elevations up to 4,000 ft. or more. Mr. Hiern records 
five varieties, one of which (var. grandijlora, Hiern) has 
the limb of the corolla as much as an inch across. 
Description.—Herb, perennial. Stem erect, decumbent 
or ascending, often slightly shrubby at the base, simple or 
sparingly branched, rather densely leafy, pubescent or

obtuse, glabrous or puberulous, usually 3-nerved, quite 
entire or remotely toothed; lower subsessile or shortly 
stalked, very much narrowed towards the base, narrowly 
elliptic, obovate-oblong or lanceolate-oblong, 1-3 in. long, 
4-% in. broad; upper sessile, gradually becoming smaller, 
often adpressed; floral-leaves sessile, amplexicaul, broadly 
lanceolate, 3-1 in. long. Spikes elongated, rather densely — 
flowered. Caly« tubular, }-2 in. long, deeply 2-lipped, 
pubescent or slightly ciliate; teeth small, ovate-deltoid or

puberulous and deep red or purple-brown outside, shining

with rose ; tube very slender, 13-2 in. long; limb spread- 
ing, 5-cleft, }~? in. across; lobes obovate, bifid. Stamens 4,

Cunrivation.—This Zaluzianskya was presented to Kew 
by Mr. W. E. Gumbleton, who raised plants of it fro 
seeds obtained by him from Mr. Thorncroft of Barberton. 
It has behaved here as an annual, for plants tried in the _ 
herbaceous department, as well as others grown in the Cape
