ME Brytuam has truly remarked (De Cand. Prodr. x. 368) that this species is extremely variable; 
the stem being more or less woody; the leaves from two to six inches long, and from four to 
twelve lines broad, blunt or occasionally rather sharp-pointed, coarsely toothed or hardly toothed at 
all, more or less downy or flocculent on the under side; the flower-stalk as long as the calyx or more 
usually shorter; and the corolla of very uncertain length, pale yellow, orange, or crimson, with the 
lobes more or less deeply divided. These conclusions are abundantly justified by the evidence to be 
found in gardens, no less than by the long series of specimens in his own herbarium. 
For cultivators the species may be separated into the following varieties :— 
1. Avranttacus, figured in the Botanical Magazine, t. 354, with orange-coloured flowers.
