pyrifola (see our Tab. 4386), and C. duxifolia (our Tab. 4582). 
The first, C. dccolor, was introduced by Mr. Low, though we 
had also seeds from Mr. William Lobb; but we have never had 
any hybrids.” Whether a true species or not may be doubtful, 
but its beautiful flowers will recommend it to every cool stove. 
Were it not that Cavanilles describes his C. ovata as the 
“Corolla ceruleo-rubens,’ and Ruiz and Pavon (their Peri- 
phragmos unifforus being the same) as having the “ tube of the 
corolla purple, and the limb violet,’ I should confidently have 
referred it to that dubious species: the corolla of their plant is 
much longer than ours. 
Descr. Our plant is a graceful, small, erect-growing shrué, 
somewhat virgate in the main dranches, the shorter and younger 
ones, as well as the young foliage, hairy. Zeaves about an inch 
long, including the short petiole, obovate, tapering or cuneate 
below, apiculate at the point, quite entire at the margin, penni- 
veined. Peduncles solitary at the extremity of the branches, 
single-flowered, curved downwards. Flowers large, drooping. 
Calye monophyllous, between campanulate and_ cylindrical, 
membranaceous, veined and slightly reticulated, five-toothed ; 
teeth triangular, erect. Corolla infundibuliform ; tube yellow, 
twice as long as the calyx, obscurely striated ; Zimd scarlet both 
within and without, of five obcordate spreading lobes, Stamens 
exserted ; filaments yellow, unequal ; anthers nearly black. Ovary 
ovate, glabrous, seated on a large glandular disc, three-celled. 
Style longer than the stamens, and much exserted. Stigma of 
three linear lobes.
