No. 1754, 
CALCEOLARIA PURPUREA. 
Class, Order, 
DIANDRIA MONOGY NIA. 
This is a native of South America: it was 
raised first at Edinburgh and Glasgow, two 
or three years ago. It grows about four 
feet high, bearing a large loose corymb of 
very agreeably coloured flowers 
It requires the greenhouse, i may be 
increased by cuttings, or separating the 
roots, or better by seeds, if they succeed in 
ripening, which is not always the case: the 
soil should be light and rich.
