now represented, whose resemblance to E. splendens must 

 strike every one. 



It is a native of the more elevated parts of the Corcovado 

 mountain near Rio Janeiro, where it was found by Mr. 

 Gardner. It differs from D. splendens in its smaller and 

 more richly coloured flowers, in the form of its leaves, which 

 are smaller and not cordate at the base, and in its having at 

 the insertion of the leaves a ring of fleshv hard teeth, which 

 stand in the room of the glands, or raised lines found in 

 allied species. 



The accompanying figure was made from a specimen 

 which flowered with 11. G. Loraine, Esq. of Wallington, and 

 which gained the Horticultural Society's Silver Knightian 

 medal in October last. 



Fig, 1. shews the ovary, and one of the two glands that 

 peculiarize the genus. 



It is a stove twiner, and requires to be treated in a similar 

 manner to D. splendens : viz. to be potted in rough heath 

 mould, mixed with about one-fourth silver sand. In summer 

 it should be grown in a damp atmosphere, and be amply 

 supplied with water, but in winter it must be kept rather 

 dry, otherwise it will be apt to damp off. It may be propa- 

 gated by cuttings in the usual way.
