This fine new Calceolaria is a native of the Island of 

 Chiloe, on the south coast of Chile, where it was collected 

 by Mr. Anderson. It will probably become one of the 

 most valuable species in our Gardens, not only on account 

 of its intrinsic beauty, but because of its being more hardy 

 than others of the lialf-shrubby kind. A well-protected 

 frame will, no doubt, be all that it will require. A mixture 

 of peat, loam, and sand, will prove a proper soil for its 

 cultivation; and it may be increased, like others of its 

 kind, by cuttings. 



Our drawing was made in My. Low's Nursery in August 

 last. 



Stem somewhat upright, about 2 feet high, taper, downy, 

 with a few i^dand-bearing hairs scattered over it. JA'arcs
