appearance. We have liitheito seen it cultivated in a rich 

 border, or in peat earth ; in such situations it does not 

 thrive ; it would perhaps be better in a coarse gravelly soil, 

 among shaded rockwork. 



A hardy perennial, flowering from May to October. 

 Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Horticultural 

 Society. 



Mr. Douglas named the species in compliment to 

 Mr. Munro, the Gardener to the Horticultural Society. 



It does not ripen seeds, but is easily increased by 

 cuttings ; if allowed to form a single bush, its ascending 

 branches root at the base, and increase plentifully. 



Covered all over with whitish down. Stem ascending, 

 from a foot and a half to 2 feet high, taper. Leaves round- 

 ish, cordate, somewhat 5-lobed, toothed ; the middle lobe 

 larger than the rest. Flowers panicled, arranged rather 

 on one side. Caly.v campanulate, 5-cleft, with an involu- 

 crum consisting of 3 setaceous, deciduous leaflets. Corolla 

 vermilion- coloured, roundish, with rounded, emarginate 

 petals. Carpella very numerous, capsular, one-seeded, 

 2-valved, reticulated, arranged in a circle.
