Owing to the beanty of its flowers this species is much cuUivated in gardens. 

 But it also occurs in a wild state. The corolla is usually scarlet, bat individuals 

 with wliite, rosy, or yellowish corollas are frequent. As regards leaves the species 

 varies somewhat. lean find nothing except the slightly different reticulation of the 

 leaves to distinguish I. amoena, Wall., and I have therefore reduced it here. In the 

 Flora of British India, Sir .Joseph Hooker, without actually making the reduction, 

 expresses himself in favour of it.
