This pretty little plant is a native of 

 Chili : it was introduced in 1830, by Mr. 

 Cuming. It is very dwarf in its growth, 

 not much exceeding six inches from the 

 ground; and its brilliant flowers are pro- 

 duced during nearly the whole of the sum- 

 mer. It requires the greenhouse, may be 

 propagated by cuttings or seeds, and 

 should be potted in light loam.
