 It has the habit of A. longiflora, and is 



35, A. patens. 



From M. Vak Houtte. Flowers medium-sized, bright rosy- 

 purple, paler beneath the eye, the tube spurred at the base. It 

 is of compact habit. 



36. A. patens major. 



From M. Van Houtte. Flowers above medium size, the 

 tube spurred at the base, the limb deep rosy-purple, paler beneath 

 the eye, the upper segments rather small, as in A. patens itself. 

 It was, however, adjudged to be a first-class purple variety. 





From Messrs. E. G. Hendeeson & Son, Messrs. Low & Co., 

 and Mr. Veitch. Flowers medium-sized, numerous, deep pur- 

 plish-rose, dashed with orange about the eye, the edges crenelled ; 

 leaves red beneath. A free-flowering variety of great merit. 



39. A. Tugwelliana. 



From Mr. Veitch. Flowers medium-sized, reddish-purple, 

 nearly imiform throughout, slightly spotted about the eye. The 

 habit is slender, apparently that of A. patens. 



The varieties included in t 

 be true AcMmenes which have sometimes been called Tre- 



[ grandiflora. 



From Mr. Veitch. Flowers large for this group, bright rosy- 

 purple, crenelled, the throat orange-colour spotted ; leaves red 

 beneath. This is somewhat intermediate between the Lontfi- 

 florm and Coccinea;.
