C. polifolia. Hooker in Bot. Mag. t. 2897. 



Apparently a very common plant in the passes in the 

 mountains between Valparaiso and St. Jago, for almost every 

 collection from that locality contains it. 



It is a hardy perennial, about a foot high, with a woody 

 stem, which would probably become shrubby in favourable 

 situations. Its little hoary leaves, and very numerous pale 

 primrose-coloured flowers, have quite a peculiar appear- 

 ance, and render it extremely different from all the other 

 species. 



It thrives with the same treatment as other Calceolarias, 

 but it is impatient of damp in winter ; cuttings readily mul- 

 tijily it. 



Our drawing was made in September 1833, in the 

 garden of the Horticultural Society, where it had been raised 

 from seed received from Mr. Cruckshanks.
