which had been raised by Mr. Witumorg, from seeds sent 
from Madeira. Supposing it to be new, it was communi- 
cated to me with the specific name of Wittmoreana ; but 
however it may excel the A. Monelli in brilliancy of colour 
in the blossom, I think it will on all hands be granted that 
it can only be considered a variety of that species. It thrives 
well in a light, rich soil, and continues in flower for a con- 
siderable length of time. Its mode of treatment in the 
garden is well described at t. 319 of this work. 
Descr. Stems long and straggling, sharply -angled.
