A neat little half-shrubby herbaceous plant, growing not 

 more than 6 or 8 inches high, flowering from June to Sep- 

 tember in the open border, and readily multiplied by 

 cuttings which root freely in peat and sand. It requires a 

 little protection in winter. 



It appears to be a common Chilian plant, for it occurs in 

 almost every collection that has yet reached England from 

 the neighbourhood of Valparaiso. 



Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Horticul- 

 tural Society. 



Although this is far less showy than G. Hookcri, figured 

 at fol. 1747, yet as it is a hardier plant it will be to many the 

 more interesting of the two. 



Our figure represents the analysis of the parts of fructi- 

 fication : 1. is a magnified entire flower; 2. is a calyx ; 3. 

 a corolla split open ; and, 4. one of the anthers with a part 

 of the filament.
