‘This plant was sent from the botanic garden at St. 
incents to that of the Horticultural Society at Chiswick, 
Mr. Groree Cater, late superintendant of the former 
establishment. The red colour of the veins diappears in 
e older leaves, which then become more clothed with a 
ery soft pubescence. There is a species of Ecurres de- 
ribed and figured in Tusac’s Flore des Antilles, by the 
ame of sanguinolenta (Bloody Savanna-flower of the 
thabitants of Jamaica), which has similar red veins, but 
the Shape of the corolla is totally different, the lacinie 
“ing terminated with a filiform point. — : 
'. Carey informs us, that the garden at St. Vincents — 
aS IN some places overrun with this plant, but that it 
‘Howered in one spot only ; he observes, also, that there 
Was a variety of it in the garden with white or silvery veins
