It is somewhat doubtful whether this or F. splendens, as defined here, is the true 
F. splendens of Zuccarini, which is very imperfectly described ; but, as far as the descrip- 
tion goes, it accords better with the species commonly cultivated in this country, and 
retained here under the name, than with the present plant. This species differs in 
being much less pubescent, in the calyx-tube tapering gradually downwards and not 
being fleshy and swollen immediately above the ovary, and in the nearly rotundate 
petals. It is possible that a more complete series of specimens would furnish connecting- 
links between F. intermedia, F. splendens, and F. cordifolia. Hartweg collected and 
dried specimens of our F. intermedia, and sent home seeds of the plant generally known 
as . splendens, of which there are also wild specimens at Kew, both from Guatemala 
and South Mexico.

This may be a distinct species; but the material is insufficient to decide the question.
