whom we received fresh flowers last autumn. Hartweg 
found it commonly near Santa Fe de Bogota, but, owing to the 
mismanagement of that collector, its seeds, like nearly all else 
that he brought home with him, perished in the hold of a 
sugar ship. It has long narrow lanceolate deep green leaves, 
quite toothless at the edge, usually growing in threes. The 
flowers appear singly in the axils, and are full 3 inches long, 
while the stalk measures 2| inches more. The tube of 
the calyx has the form of a lengthened cone, its lobes being 
tipped with light emerald green. The petals, which are also 
salmon-coloured, are lanceolate, wavy, not rolled up, but a 
little turned back at the point, and something longer than 
the calyx.

with Messrs. Veitch and 
Son, and proves to be even 
more handsome than was 
anticipated, the flowers 
being large, and deep yel- 
low, arranged as in the 
accompanying figure.
