65. CALCEOLARIA 



♦punctata Knoivles and IVestcotl is a hybrid between C. pardanthera n?pardantha] and a white 

 unnamed variety, both of which are also hybrids. 



A truly elegant kind of Calceolaria, raised by John Willmore, 

 Esq., of Oldford, near Birmingham. [Birin. Bot. Mag., Nov.) 

 It evidentl}' belongs to C. corymbosa; and that specific name, we 

 think, ought to have been introduced, as well as punctata; though 

 we cannot help regretting that such ephemeral productions should 

 be figured in works strictly botanical at all. According to the 

 figure, the corolla has its ground colour of an extremely pale 

 yellow, and is tinted and spotted with lilac : its characters of 

 colour are not described in the text.

A native of the Arkansas, " perennial and annual," with stems

 acquisition to our borders. [Bot. Mag., Oct.)

" The plant is apparently quite hardy, is well adapted to orna- 

 ment rockwork, and may be increased with facility by slips, as 

 it sends forth a number of short leaf shoots from the root. We 

 have observed no tendency in the plant to become shrubby, as 

 recorded by Mr. Bentham in his elaborate monograph of the 

 Labiat£e." (Sxveefs Fl.-Gard., Dec.)

Synonymc : speciosi'ssimum Paxton, Paxton's Mag. of bot 3. p. 217. 



A branching shrub, growing to the height of 4 ft., with an 

 erect stem, and cordate pointed leaves, and flowers produced in 

 large spreading terminal panicles, of a vivid scarlet colour, and 

 each averaging 2 in. in length, tubular below, with a 5-parted 

 spreading limb. The native country of this plant is not stated ; 

 but it is, probably, Japan. Messrs. Lucomb and Pince of the 

 Exeter Nursery received the plant from Belgium in 1835 ; and it 

 flowered profusely in this nursery in Aug. and Sept. 1836; and 

 at Chatsworth, in Oct. of the same year. Mr. Paxton describes 

 it as one of the finest plants which he has had the good fortune 

 to figure; and as far superior in beauty to any of the family to 

 which it belongs. " It is beyond the reach of the artist to give 

 a faithful likeness of its colours. Being a plant of easy culture, 

 no collection, however small, ought to be without it." Messrs. 

 Lucomb, Pince, and Co. have a very fine plant " in the open 

 border. The plant in the house we have treated with a temper- 

 ature of from 65° to 75°, with a plentiful supply of water : it has
