Scrophularinece Phygelius. 



1. Ph. Capensis. A glabrous perennial from 1 to 2, feet 

 high with tetragonal erect simple steins, opposite ovate-lanceo- 

 late petiolate leaves, and terminal panicles of rosy-red flowers 

 with a yellow throat. It is a native of South Africa, but not 

 of the Cape Colony as the name would imply. 



11. PAULO WNIA. 



This also, as far as at present known, is a monotypic genus. 

 It is a tree of moderate size with very large opposite ovate- 

 cordate deciduous leaves clothed with a greyish woolly tomen- 

 tum, and terminal panicles of purplish-violet spotted fragrant 

 flowers. It has been referred to Bignoniacece, but the 4 stamens, 

 albuminous, though winged, seeds, etc., seem to indicate its 

 position in this order. The genus was named in honour of a 

 Russian princess. 



1. P. imperials (fig. 187). -This is a distinct hardy fast- 

 growing tree, but in consequence of the flowers being formed 

 in the Autumn preceding 

 the Spring when they 

 should expand, they are 

 often destroyed by frost. 

 It is a native of Japan.
