CALCEOLARIA THYRSIFLORA 



CJass. Order. 



DIANDR I A MONOG YNIA . 



This was raised in 1827, in Scotland, 

 from seeds collected by Dr. Gillies, at 

 Mendoza. 



It grows upright and shrubby, flowering 

 during the greater part of the summer, 

 when it thrives very well out of doors in a 

 shady situation, but in winter requires the 

 greenhouse. It may be increased by cut- 

 tings, and potted in sandy peat, with a mix- 

 ture of leaf mould.
