Cult. Calceolaria is a genus of very showy plants, and 

 great favourites at present with gardeners and others. Some 

 of them are annual, others perennial, but the greater mass 

 are shrubby. All of them thrive well in light rich soil, or a 

 mixture of loam, sand, and peat ; giving them the treatment of 

 other greenhouse plants. They readily increase by young cut- 

 tings, under a hand-glass ; and also by seed, which ripens plen- 

 tifully in this country. By impregnating the stigma of one sort 

 with the pollen of another, many very beautiful hybrids have 

 been reared in the gardens. The seeds of the annual kinds 

 should be reared in a hot-bed, in spring ; and when the plants 

 are of sufficient size, they should be set separately in pots ; and 

 others may be planted out in the open ground, in a warm, shel- 

 tered situation.

Dotted-fiov/ered Jovellana. Shrub 3 feet. 



3 J. VIOLA'CEA ; shrubby ; branches violaceous ; leaves peti- 

 olate, ovate, coarsely serrated, white beneath ; peduncles

4 J. ? TRIA'NDRA (Cav. icon. 5. p. 32. t. 453.) shrubby ; 

 branches, peduncles, and edges of calyx beset with glandular 

 villi ; leaves deeply pinnatifid, glaucous beneath, petiolate ; 

 peduncles dichotomous ; flowers triandrous. fy . G. Native of 

 Peru. Bae'a triandra, Pers. ench. 1. p. 15. Bark of branches 

 dark purple. Petioles shorter than the leaves, clasping the stem 

 by a membrane at the base. Filaments 3, very short. Ovarium 

 tomentose. This will probably form a distinct genus, which we 



would propose calling Porodiltia tridndra, from the triandrous 

 flowers ; and in the cells of the anthers being confluent, and 

 opening by a pore at the apex. 



Triandrous-fiovfered Jovellana. Shrub 3 to 4 feet. 



Cult. Singular and beautiful plants, with the habit of Cal- 

 ceolaria ; the culture of them is also similar.
