 One to 3 ft. high, the st. 4-angled : radical Ivs. ovate and 

 sometimes cordate, obtuse or nearly so, doubly crenate, 

 rugose and hairy, whitish beneath; st.-lys. smaller and 

 narrower, somewhat clasping, opposite: fls. small

 somewhat loose corymb, the slipper somewhat short- 

 oblong, clear yellow outside and marked with red lines 

 inside. Chile. B.M. 2418. 



3. biflora, Lam. (C. plantaginea, Smith. C. suberecta, 

 Hort. C. Mdrrisonii, Don). Herbaceous, stemless: 



Ivs. . ovate-spatu- 

 late, toothed at 

 top: scapes many, 

 few-fld.; fls. large,

 Argentina. B.M. 

 2805. L.B.C. 

 15:1402. F.S.R.

740. Calceolaria integrifolia var. 

 viscosissima. ( X 1 A) 



4. P a v 6 n i i , 

 Benth. An erect, 

 strong- growing, 

 herbaceous, or half 

 shrubby species: 

 st. terete, green, 

 stout: Ivs. perfoli- 

 ate, on short 

 winged petioles, 

 ovate or elliptic, 

 coarsely serrate, 

 5^9 in. long (in a 

 vigorous plant), 

 and a rich light 

 green in color: 

 sts. and lys. 

 densely hairy; 

 infl. paniculate, terminal, large and handsome; fls. rich 

 golden-yellow and marked in throat with brown, and 

 about 1 in. diam. Peru. B.M. 4525. G. 27:663. J.H. III. 

 50:489. J.F. 1, pi. 32. One of the parents of several 

 handsome hybrids. 



5. Burbidgei, Hort. (C. hybrida var. Burbidgei, 

 Gumbl.). A garden hybrid raised at Trinity College, 

 Dublin, by Burbidge between C. Pavonii on the one 

 side and C. deflexa (C. fuchsisefolia) or possibly C. 

 amplexicaulis on the other: plant erect: sts. hairy, 

 terete: Ivs. light green, lanceolate, 5-9 in. long, serrate, 

 winged along the petiole: infl. large, in terminal free- 

 branching panicles; fls. 1 in. diam., rich golden yellow. 

 G. 25:547. Gn. 47:306. One of the finest of cool 

 greenhouse kinds and valuable also as a bedding plant 

 as it grows into a fine large specimen as much as 6 

 ft. high and branches freely from the base. .Readily 

 prop, by cuttings. 



cc. Fls. purple. 



6. purp&rea, Graham (C. Herbertiana, Lindl.). Sts. 

 erect, pubescent, 1-2 ft.: radical Ivs. spatulate and 

 acutish, with a strong midrib, sparsely hairy, rugose, 

 dentate; st.-lvs. broad-cordate and clasping, less 

 toothed: fls. in loose corymbs, small, purplish or red- 

 dish violet, the slipper somewhat furrowed. Chile. 

 B.M. 2775. B.R. 1313. Supposed to have entered 

 largely into purple-fid, varieties. 



7. arachnoidea, Graham. St. a foot or two high, 

 terete, branchy, woolly, with appressed hairs: Ivs. 

 oblong or Ungulate, narrowing into long - winged 

 petioles, clasping, obscurely toothed, rugose, woolly 



on both sides: peduncles in pairs, forking: fls. small, 

 dull purple, the slipper nearly globular and furrowed. 

 Chile. B.M. 2874. L.B.C. 16: 1557. 



BB. Lvs. compound, or essentially so. 



8. scabiosaefolia, Sims (C. pinndta, Ruiz & Pav. 

 C. heterophylla, Willd.). Often 2 ft., the st. terete, hairy, 

 and leafy: Ivs. opposite, with clasping petioles, cut 

 nearly or completely to the midrib; Ifts. varying from 

 lanceolate to broad-oval, acuminate, ciliate, dentate: 

 fls. very small, in small hairy corymbs, pale yellow, the 

 slipper nearly orbicular in outline. Chile, Peru, Ecua- 

 dor. B.M. 2405. This is sold by seedsmen as an annual 

 bedding plant. 



9. pinnata, Linn. Often reaches 3 ft. or more: Ivs. 

 pinnatifid or completely compound, the divisions short 

 and nearly entire, obtuse or nearly so: fls. small, sul- 

 fur-yellow. Chile, Peru, Bolivia. B.M. 41. The first 

 known garden species, still sold as an annual. 



10. herbeohybrida, Voss (C. hybrida, C. herbacea, 

 C. Yoimgii, Hort., and others). Derivatives of the 

 herbaceous calceolarias: mostly dwarf or small (2 ft. or 

 less), in many colors, usually with well-inflated slippers. 



AA. Shrubby calceolarias. 

 B. Fls. yellow. 



11. integrifSlia, Murr. (C. rugosa, Ruiz & Pav. C. 

 salviasfolia, Pers.). Two to 6 ft. high, branchy and bushy: 

 Ivs. glabrous, oval-lanceolate, crisped and dentate, the 

 short petioles winged: fls. in terminal clusters, small, 

 yellow. Chile. L.B.C. 10:942. B.R. 744, 1083. Variable. 

 Probably the chief source of shrubby calceolarias. 

 Var. viscosissima, Hort. (Fig. 740), is a sticky-hairy 

 form with sessile Ivs. and showy fls. 



12. thyrsifldra, Graham. More shrubby: Ivs. linear 

 and clustered, toothed, sessile, not hairy: fls. small, 

 yellow, in a close, terminal cluster. Chile. B.M. 2915. 



13. amplexicaftlis, HBK. A foot or two high: Ivs. 

 cordate-ovate to ovate-lanceolate, long-acuminate, 

 pubescent, woolly beneath and deep-rugose above, 

 clasping: fls. small, in an upright corymb, pale yellow 

 and spotless, the slipper hoof-shaped. Ecuador, Peru. 



BB. Fls. white. 



14. .alba, Ruiz & Pav. Shrubby, erect, branched, the 

 branches opposite: Ivs. linear, toothed above, with 

 fascicles of fls. in axils: fls. small, white, of 2 very 

 unequal lips, the upper one being very small, the throat 

 closed. Chile. B.M. 4157. G.C.III.22:141. Gn. 51:60; 

 75, p. 6. J.H. III. 61:419. A most beautiful species 

 in England when planted out in a soil rich in humus, 

 but should be shaded from hot sun. The plant dislikes 

 pot culture. This species has recently been used by the 

 hybridist in order to secure a race with white fls. 

 The new hybrid C. Veitchii is likely to prove a great 

 aquisition to gardens, and is partly derived from this 

 species. 



15. fruticohybrida, Voss (C. ascendens, Hort., not 

 Lindl. C. dentdta, and C. integrifolia, Hort., for the most 

 part). Here may be grouped the shrubby garden 

 calceolarias that are derivatives of most other species. 

 They are marked by the prevailing under-color of yel- 

 low, orange or orange-red; sometimes they are yellow- 

 ish white or dull red. 



C. andina, Benth. (C. Herbertiana var. pallidiflora, Lindl.).
