Introduced into cultivation by Backhouse in 1854. Var. Lindeni, André in 
Ill. Hort. 1878, t. 343, is a robust large-flowered variety with the inner segments 
of the limb an inch broad. 
Between C. nobilis and miniata a fine hybrid has been raised, which is now 
common in European gardens under the name of Imantophyllum cy . 
A full account of it, with figures, will be found in Van Houtte’s Flore des Serres, 
t. 1877, and by Groenland in the Revue Horticole for 1859, vol. viii. p. 258, 
fig. 65. It has a curved perianth, with the inner segments of the limb twice as 
broad as the outer, and exserted stamens.
