(not Linn.) ; 
A rare and remarkably fine species of Svipperwort, figured 
by Ruiz and Payon, as the C. perfoliata of Linneus, from 
the original plant detected by them at Chincao and Mufa in 
the Andes of Peru. By Mr. Mathews it was discovered at 
Chacapoyas. We are indebted for the specimen here repre- 
sented, as well as for a living plant, to Messrs. Lucombe, 
Pince, & Co., of the Exeter Nursery, who observe, that when 
bedded out in the summer it makes a very striking appearance, 
with its noble and rather deep yellow flowers and ample foliage. 
Like the Calceolarias in general, it produces a long succession of 
blossoms, which renders the plant so eminently suited to the 
flower-border. 
Drscr. Root perennial. Stem herbaceous, one and a half to 
two feet and more high, a good deal branched, herbaceous, suc- 
culent, terete or but slightly angled, copiously clothed with 
patent or slightly deflexed, hairs, green, sometimes tinged with 
purple and slightly viscose. Leaves rather large, often more 
than a span long, opposite and perfoliate with the very broadly 
winged base of the petiole ; the d/ade ovate, acute or acuminate, 
often truncate or cordate at the base; the surface wrinkled with
