HABROTHAMNUS FASCICULATU S. 
CLUSTER-FLOWERED HABROTHAMNUS. 
Erm. «opos, superb; Sasevds, shrub. 
GENERIC CHARACTER. 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER. see above. 
SYNONYMY 
handsome greenhouse shrub, which in its native country (Mexico) bears innumerable closely 
very 
CAN heads or clusters of و‎ ba: ی‎ la but of which the sample given exhibits only one 
such head. This was communicated by Messrs. Lucombe, Pince, and Co.. from their Nursery, Exeter; 
they imported it, I believe, through Belgium. One has only to look at the figure above quoted in 
the « Hort. Society’s Transactions » to see how this plant is capable of improvement, and that figure, 
done from the native dried specimen, is no exaggeration over nature. Hartweg describes it as one i 
the gayest productions of the Mexican Flora. Our specimen was produced in winter. The gen 
name is derived from eo pos, gay, and apes, a shoot, or branch; so named from the beauty 7 of 
^ even branches. 
SCR. rub, according to Hartweg, about five feet high, downy. Branches terete. Leaves alter- 
nate, on thick red petioles, ovato-acuminate, waved, entire, obtuse at the base, penn rved. 
Flowers in involucrated capitate cymes. Involucral 2 tirée or das, resembling those of ram pu 
but much smaller and nearly sessile. Pedicels short, or none. Calyx small, with a short FRE 
tube and five erect ovate acuminated ciliated segments. Corolla rather a dcs red rose-colour, urceo- 
late, but much elongated and tapering at the base, constricted at the mouth ; limb of five spreading, 
ovate, very acute, ciliated segments. Stamens included. Filaments inserted below the middle of the. 
tube. Anthers dort dile. Ovary globose, on a fleshy disk, two-celled, few-seeded. Style included 
Stigma capitate, somewhat two-lobed.
