while the rest of the corolla is of a bright scarlet, clothed 

 with a fine down. Stamens inserted near the base of the 

 corolla : Filaments arched upwards and meeting, so that 

 their anthers form a cross. Germen more than half su- 

 perior, downy. Style shorter than the stamens. Stigma 

 obtuse. 



This fine plant is a native of Brazil, and was, we believe, 

 first introduced to the stoves of our gardens by Mr. Cham- 

 berlayne, our late Consul at Rio Janeiro, who also brought 

 into notice the beautiful Bignonia that bears his name. 

 It has since been imported through other channels, and is 

 now, probably, not uncommon. The specimen here figur- 

 ed, bloomed in the Glasgow Botanic Garden, in the spring 

 of 1830. J. T. Macray, Esq. has also lately sent us fine 

 flowering specimens from the College Botanic Garden, 

 Dublin.
