The prefent drawing was made feveral years ago from a 
plant which flowered in the colleGtion of Meffrs. Lez and 
KENNEDY at Hammerfmith. Is it a genuine fpecies, or the 
mixed produétion of crateroides (No. 594) and capillaris, bred 
In our own gardens? We have never met with any other fpe- 
cies than the prefent. Stem about fix inches high; /pike two- 
flowered ; corolla more than an inch long 5 linb white fuffufed 
with crimfon, particularly on the outfide, with a bright-crimfon 
radiated fpot (ne€taroftigma. Sprengell Hift. R. Herb.) on the 
inner bafe of each fegment. G.
