242 NEW PLANTS, KTC, 



Raised from seeds, collected by Mr. Hartweg, in fields about 

 Santa Cruz, in California, and received at the Garden, 

 May 11th, 1847. 



This curious plant, which it has so long been an object to ob- 

 tain, proves to be a species of much horticidtural interest. It 

 forms a bushy perennial, about three feet high, clothed with 

 ovate, sessile, toothed leaves, resembling those of a Gaura. 

 Every branch emits from the axils of all tlie upper leaves one 

 horizontal bi'ight scarlet flower, about an inch and a half long. 

 Its general appearance is not unlike that of a Fuchsia, but the 

 calyx tube has four stout ribs. The petals, which are inversely 

 heart-shaped, spread flat ; the eight stamens, with red anthers 

 and a red foiir-lobed stigma, project beyond the flower. 



The plant grows freely in good gartlen soil, and is easily in- 

 creased by cuttings or seeds. Tlie seedlings flower in the first 

 season, in the month of September, if sown in May. It is a 

 very fine hardy perennial, rivalling the Fuchsia, and most pro- 

 bably will flower from June to October, if planted in a warm 

 dry situation on rockwork.

19. Calceolauia cuNEiFor.Mis. Ruiz and Pavon, Flora 

 Peruviana, vol. i. t. 27,' f. b. 



Raised from seeds purchased from Mr. Thomas Bridges in 

 1846, and said to be from Bolivia. 



This in its wild state is a stiff short-branched bush, with small 

 wedge-shaped leaves covered with white hairs on the under side. 

 It bears 2 or 3 flowers at the end of each branch, which is closely 

 covered with short rough hairs. In its cultivated state it has 

 much larger and softer leaves, and weaker branches. The 

 flowers are about as large as those of Calceolaria integrifolia, and 

 of a pale lemon colour. 



It is a very pretty greenhouse shrub, with a better habit than 

 the old shrubby Calceolarias.
