 with flowers of that delicate pink or blush hue so difficult 

 to depict on paper, distinctly spotted with rich purple, each 

 spot being surrounded with a narrow rim of pure white, 

 altogether forming a " most attractive" plant. It was 

 raised by Mr. Gaines, of Battersea, and obtained a medal

 feet high ; with deep yellow and red flowers ; appearing all summer ; a native of Wexico j 

 increased by cuttings ; grown in good soil. Pax. -Mag. Bot. Vol. X. p. 53. 



A pretty species, raised from seeds received from Mexico, 

 and supposed to be the old L. crocea, introduced in 181S ; 

 it however has the appearance of L. mixta in several of its 

 characteristics. '• It throws up from the axils of the leaves 

 strong clusters of blossoms, which are arranged on stout, 

 bold peduncles, and are peculiarly showy :" the color is 

 deep rich red, shading ofi" to deep yellow in the centre of 

 each corymb. It blooms as freely planted out in the open 

 ground as the L. Sellowii, and becomes a compact, bushy 

 plant, covered witli its elegant party-colored flo-\vers ; cut- 

 tings root readily in loam and sand in bottom heat. (Pax. 

 Mag. Bot. April.)
