This is a native of Brazil, and was first 
introduced in 1822, by Mr. Lee: it flowers 
in the autumn. The blossoms are rich and 
strikingly beautiful; theleaves and growth 
are not so attraetive. 
Itis very easily multiplied by cuttings, 
and will grow in any soil. In thesummer, 
it is very órnamental, planted out of doors, 
in a warm border; but in winter, it seems 
to keep better in the stove than the green- 
house. i
