length : pollen golden yellow. Germen densely clothed 

 with woolly hairs. Style scarcely any. Stigma capitate, 

 flattened, quite hiding the style, tuberculate. 



The plant that we originally gave under this name is 

 not correct, but proves to be the C. undulatus of Dunal 

 in Decandolle's Prodromus ; we therefore take the pre- 

 sent opportunity of setting it right, by giving a figure 

 of the real species, with a fresh leaf of letter-press, for 

 the one that we had given for it at folio 63 : the present 

 plant is readily distinguished from that, and all others 

 that are related to it, by its very short style, which is 

 quite hid by its large stigma, and brings it in the second 

 division of the section ERYTHROCISTUS, with C. pur- 

 pureus, C. cymosus, and C. parviflorus, from all of which 

 it is distinguished at first sight. 



Being a native of Greece, the present species is rather 

 tender, and is very apt to be killed, when exposed to the 

 open air of our climate in Winter ; this will partly ac- 

 count for its present scarcity ; and being so much like 

 C. villosus and C. undulatus in common appearance, it is 

 often confused with these species in collections ; and the 

 C. purpureus is generally sold for it at the Nurseries, 

 which is also a native of Crete ; but the fine dark spots 

 at the base of its petals, has rendered it an object of 

 more care than most of the other species, that are not 

 so showy. 



We believe the present species is scarcely to be met 

 with at any Nursery, except that of Messrs. Whitley, 

 Brames, and Milne, at Fulham, where there are a few 

 plants of it.
