yet, upon careful examination, we consider them as mere 
varieties. 
According to Sir James E. Smrru, the C. integra of the 
13th edition of the Systema Vegetabilium, depends solely 
on the authority of Frumiisz, and that the one described 
under that name by the younger Linnzus in the Supple- 
mentum Plantarum, from the Paris garden, and of which 
Sir James has given a figure in his icones, is totally differ- 
ent. To this latter he has since, in the new Systema Vege- 
tabilium of Rozmer and Scuurres, assigned the specific 
name of ovata instead of integrifolia which was given to 
it in the Icones. 
We have quoted the integrifolia of the Botanical Register 
with an expression of doubt, because it appears by the 
figure to be much more pubescent, a character which is 
extended even to the corolla. Our plant was free from all 
pubescence except a slight villosity on the upper branches, 
peduncles, and calyx; and the leaves, on the underside, 
are somewhat ferruginous ; but, after all, it may be re- 
marked, that cultivated plants, in general, are known to 
vary extremely in the degree of pubescence, which they 
may possess under spontaneous growth. 
The most remarkable feature in all the varieties of this 
plant is the globular form of the under lip, and the lid-like 
shape of the upper, and their meeting so near together as 
to leave only a narrow slit between them; and the margin 
of the under lip being often crenulate, gives sometimes the 
resemblance of a grinning monkey-like mouth. 
CALCEOLARIA is a very extensive South American genus, 
of which no fewer than fifty-five species are recorded ; some 
of these, however, may be only varieties. Of this number 
only two seem to have been known to Linnaus, viz. pin- 
nata and integrifolia. Since the discovery of so many 
more species, the latter name, which will apply to so many 
of them, may very well be suffered to become obsolete, 
org abalany our present plant has probably the best claim 
it. 
CaLcEOLARIA rugosa is a native of Chili, appears to be 
annual, and to be propagated only by seeds. It was intro- 
duced into this country, with so many other plants from 
that country, through the agency of Francis Pxace, Esq. 
Our drawing was taken in June last, froma specimen 
communicated by Mr. Kyicur, of the exotic nursery; 
King’s-road.
