_ This is a fhewy plant from the fize of its flowers, which in 
‘brilliancy perhaps furpafs thofe of every other fpecies of Lo- 
belia, the delicacy of the blue colour is inimitable. It varies 
with folitary flowers and with two on each peduncle. A 
native of the Cape of Good Hope, from whence it was in- 
troduced into the Kew Gardens by Mr. Francis Masson, in 
_ 1787. Requires the fhelter of a greenhoufe in winter.
