DescriPTION OF THE Hyprip Mimotus, Roseo-carpina.is. 
At first sight, this Hybrid might be mistaken for a large and luxu- 
riant form of Mimulus Roseus, with flowers nearly twice the size - 
usually attained by those of that plant; but a careful comparison 
of it with Mimulus Cardinalis (see Botanist, No.2) and Mimulus 
Roseus, shews that it possesses many characters which place it inter- 
mediate between these species. In general habit it approaches most 
closely to Cardinalis, but the colour of the flowers, though of a darker 
tint, is nearly the same asin Roseus. 
The whole plant is covered with soft, glandular, and spreading pu- 
bescence. Stems, three feet or more, with flowering branches for about 
two-thirds of its height, (as in Cardinalis; whilst in Roseus the 
branches are more sparingly produced, and the stem frequently nearly 
simple) Leaves ovate, toothed, (more downy and more toothed than 
in Roseus ; of a darker green, plane, and not inflexed, as in Cardina- 
lis). INrLorEscence axillary, the peduncles about the same
