GLEANINGS AND ORIGINAL MEMORANDA. 159 
whorled leaves, and revolute orange flowers spotted with crimson. Native of California. Introduced 
by the Horticultural Society. (Fig. 308.) 
“My North-West American specimens of .رق‎ canadense,” writes Sir W. Hooker (Flor. Bor. Americana, 
much smaller flowers, of a redder hue, and are more disposed to be revolute ; yet I dare 
not venture upon making them distinct The plant now figured is, we presume, what 
he thus referred to. It is remarkable for having long grassy leaves, as many as ten ina 
whorl, instead of five, which is the usual number in Z. canadense. The flowers are dee 
orange, very much like those of a Martagon, with red stains, and numerous rich red-brown 
blotches. The stamens are not at all united at the base. The plant is very handsome. 
636. FUCHSIA MINIATA. Planchon and Linden. A very pretty green- 
house shrub, with long tubular rich red flowers, having green-tipped sepals 
a little longer than 
the scarlet petals. 
Native of New Gre- 
nada. ^ Introduced

There is an obvious resemblanee between this and i سمه‎ ; 
it has the same verticillate leaves, the same pendent flowers, the 
same taper-pointed calyx, and the same colour in the petals. The form, however, of the latter is of itself sufficient 
to distinguish the two plants. There is less, though still abundant, difference between this Fuchsia —— and 
F. petiolaris of Humboldt. In miniata the leaves are as often in fours à s, they are more co am Ari 
evidently downy ; the sepals are narrower and less cuspidate, the petals entirely smooth, and obtuse instead o ser 5 8 
in F. petiolaris, acute and furnished with scattered hairs. Slight as these differences may appear, they are not the less
