Very nearly related to Calceolaria bicolor of the Flora 

 Peimviana, with which it has been identified by our friend 

 Dr. Graham : but if there is to be any faith in figures or de- 

 scriptions, it must, we think, be a distinct species. C. bicolor 

 agrees indeed with this in the colour of its flowers ; but it 

 is described with an erect stem, and is represented as being 

 very hirsute, with the lower lip remote from the upper ; 

 while this has a procumbent stem, with coarsely and doubly 

 serrated leaves, a very little pubescent, strongly cordate, 

 and hoary beneath, with the under lip lying close upon the 

 upper.
