 Bot. Mag. t. 5306. 



A native of Ceylon, first detected by Mr. Gardner, whose name it bears, 

 on Eambaddo, at an elevation of 4,000-5,000 ft. In this country a green-

A beautiful gesneraceous plant, with flowers in corymbs in the axils 

 of the uppermost leaves on stems If to 2 ft. high resembling those of a 

 Gloxinia. 



The somewhat large coarse foliage hides many of the flowers and

 on September 1st 1846 before the Horticultural Society, and now 

 probably lost to cultivation.
