This plant has flowered in the greenhouse both in the 
Edinburgh and Glasgow Botanic Gardens, having been 
received from its original describer, Professor Leumann of 
Hamburgh. 
It is said to be a native of Mexico, and is certainly well 
deserving a place in every collection from the singular 
colour of its flowers. In Mr. Barcray’s garden at Bury 
Hill it has blossomed in the open border.
