STOVE AND GREENHOUSE PLANTS 



Figured in The Garden as a new species in 1879, Mr. Hemsley 

 applied the name C. fuchsisefolia, from the resemblance of the leaves 

 to those of species of Fuchsia. Later in the same year Sir Joseph 

 Hooker figured it in the Botanical Magazine under the name of C. 

 deflexa, remarking at the same time, " There are specimens in the Herbaria 

 which were cultivated many years ago, from Messrs. Veitchs' garden (then 

 probably at Exeter)."

 was introduced through Pearce in 1862.
