There being no Englifli name to this plant, we have adopted 
that of Slipper-wort , in imitation of Calceolaria , which is de- 
rived from Calceolus , a little fhoe or flipper. 
This fpecies of Calceolaria is one of the many plants intro- 
duced into our gardens, fince the„time of Miller: it is an 
annual, a native of Peru, and, of courfe, tender: though by 
no means a common plant in our gardens, it is as eafily raifed 
from feed as any plant whatever. Thefe are to be fown on a 
gentle hot-bed in the fpring ; the feedlings, when of a proper 
fize, are to be tranfplanted into the borders of the flower- 
garden, where they will flower, ripen, and fcatter their feeds; 
but being a fmall delicate plant, wliofe beauties require a dole 
infpedion, it appears to moil advantage in a tan ftove, in 
which, as it will grow from cuttings, it may be had to flower 
all the year through, by planting them in fucceflion. 
This latter mode of treatment is ufed by Mr. Hoy, Gardener 
to his Grace of Northumberland, at Sion-Houfe, where this 
plant may be ffen in great perfedion.
