We are indebted to Messrs. Veitch for this very interesting 
addition to our cultivated species of Calceolaria. It is a 
dense-growing herb from seven or eight inches to a foot or 
‘more in height, flowering profusely in the autumn. The 
corolla is pale yellow with deep brown-purple spots towards 
the base of the lower lip, which is remarkably long and 
folded back upon itself about the middle. 
Descr. An ascending or decumbent herb, freely branching 
from the base, more or less glandular-pubescent throughout. 
Leaves opposite, on rather long petioles or the upper ones 
shortly petiolate, from half-an-inch to 3 inches in diameter, 
roundish with a cordate base, and palmately 5- to 7-lobed, the 
lobes unequally toothed. Cymes terminal, but shortly pedun- 
culate ; pedicels half to one inch in length. lowers a clear
