Suppl. 88, is a native of Tropical America, and has been introduced into many 
warm countries. Specimens collected by Mund in South Africa and by Burtt- 
Davy (no. 2724) from Swaziland, ‘‘an escape,” are in the Kew Herbarium ; it has 
a herbaceous canescent-puberulous stem, ovate petiolate acute crenate leaves, a 
striate calyx with short broad acute teeth, and a bright red long-exserted corolla. 
S. pseudococcinea, Jacq +(S. coccinea, var. pseudococcinea, Gray), also a Tropical 
American plant, and differing from S. coccinea chiefly by having conspicuously 
hirsute stems, is recorded from Natal (Guerke in Ann. Hofmus. Wien, xx. 47), and 
recently Burtt-Davy has sent a specimen (no. 3005) from Bremmersdorp, 
Swaziland, collected near an old house. 
S. patens, Cav., a Mexican species with tuberous roots, ovate-deltoid leaves often 
hastate at the base, and very large bright blue flowers, has been collected in Natal 
and sent to Kew by Mr. A. Hislop. He believed it to be wild in Natal.
