length as the flower. (In Roseus they are generally rather shorter, 
and in Cardinalis much longer) Catyx pentangular, five-toothed, 
(exactly intermediate between that of Cardinalis and Roseus. In the 
former, the teeth are about one-fourth the length of the Calyx,, and 
in the latter, about one-sixth; whilst the angles in the sinuses of the 
former are acute, and in those of the latter, right angles), spotted, with 
purple above, but only faint traces of spots below. (In Cardinalis 
the purple spots are distinct above and below; but in Roseus, there 
are faint spots on the upper side only). Conor, Tube distinctly 
longer than the Calyx, (In Cardinalis it is scarcely longer, and in 
Roseus, distinctly longer), laterally compressed, and somewhat angu- 
lar, or sub-carinate above, with three lobes or folds below (In Cardi- 
nalis it is still more compressed, and sub-carinate, both above and be- 
Jow. In Roseus it is not at all compressed, convex above, and with 
three folds below). Limb bilabiate ; the upper lip composed of one 
notched erect lobe, of which the laciniw are very slightly reflexed. 
(Much the same in Roseus; but in Cardinalis the lacinie are com- 
pletely bent back, so that their edges are brought close together). The 
lower lip has three spreading lobes, of which the lowermost is largest, 
and emarginate, and all are somewhat reflexed at the margins, which 
are slightly laciniate, and clothed with villose ciliz. ( In Cardinalis, the 
margins are much more. reflexed, irregularly laciniate, and have ciliz 
only towards the bottom of the sinuses. In Roseus,the margins are even, 
and nearly like those of the Hybrid. Throat bearded along two longi- 
tudinally disposed lines, with the intermediate space tomentose). In 
Roseus much the same; but in Cardinalis the beard is composed of 
shorter and more succulent hair). Colour of a deep pink, with pur- 
ple spots in the throat, some of which are more or less. confluent in 
longitudinal lines. ( In Roseus, the colour is paler, the spots more 
. distinct ; whilst in Cardinalis, the colour is scarlet, and the spots more 
confluent, and forming several distinct lines). STaMENs didynamous, 
attached to the base of the Corolla; the superior pair, a little shorter 
than the inferior. The inferior pair slightly exserted; whilst in Ro- 
seus they are just inserted. Filaments with a few purple spots; con- 
nective succulent. Pistiz. Ovary cylindric, shorter than the style. 
(In Cardinalis the style is about three times, and in Roseus twice as 
long as the ovary). The style reaching beyond the stamens, com- 
pressed towards the summit, and dilating into a bilabiate stigma. 
The style and stigma remain green for a long time, and when they
