pair of very small obovate subopposite leaflets, and a man es larger broadly ovate almost reniform terminal one, 
which is cordate at the base, and deeply and irregularly si دوو‎ r on the 0 The upper leaves are simple 
cordate-ovate, deeply erenate-lobed. The inflorescence forms spikes of eight to ten inches long, with distant three to four- 
flowered viviied enters, | in the axils of oblong-lanceolate villous bracts equalling the peduncles. The flowers are small, 
of a very rich crimson. Calyx green, thirteen-nerved, turbinate-campanulate, two-lipped, clothed with white hairs inter- 
euspidate ; lower lip of two ovate-lanceolate sharp-pointed teeth nearly as long as the tube. Corolla tubulose, much 
exserted, nearly three times as long as the calyx, the tube enlarged above, puberulous aids, end. with a broad ring of 
hairs within near the base ; upper lip erect, concave, emarginate ; lower lip patent, trifid, th led, ovate,

Native of the Azores. (Fig. 296 
) 
This species was first made known through Sir William Hooker's 7cones, by Mr. Hewitt Watson, to irr it was 
given by Captain Vidal, R.N., whose name it bears. It was found on an * insulated rock off the east coast of Flores, 
between Santa Cruz and Ponta Delgada.” 
Seeds were received some time since from 
Mr. Ayres, who was indebted for them to 
Mr. P. Wallace. The plant has a fine 
handsome deep green shining succulent 
in August, and is a good object for rock- 
work in a climate which suits it ; but, 
being tender, its value is much diminished, 
independently of the dingy colour of its 
flowers. This plant has so little the ap-
