long, red, with a yellowish tint at the top, the inside smooth, the tube 
entire at first, but afterwards often splitting longitudinally, the 
divisions of the limb oblong linear, rather shorter than the tube. 
STaMENs about the length of the corolla, closely connected into a tube, 
enclosing the style, with all the anthers bearded at the top. 
Poruar aNnp GeograruicaL Notice. The genus Siphocampylus 
was first separated from Lobelia by the late Dr. Pohl, of Vienna, who 
figured ten species in the elaborate work he commenced on the plants 
brought by him from Brazils. With the addition of a number of old 
Lobelias and several new ones since described, it is now said to con- 
sist of above sixty species, all readily distinguished from the other 
genera of the order, as well by the habit as by their botanical charac- 
ters. They are all natives of the warmer parts of America, from 
Mexico to South Brazil and Peru, and but few are found without the 
tropics. The subject of this article is a native of Mexico, and, accord- 
ing to Mr. Don, also of Georgia in the United States; and, coming 
from the northern limits of the range of the genus, will probably be 
found less tender than the others, but it certainly does not appear to 
approach in beauty to some of the Brazilian ones. 
The above description is taken from specimens cultivated in the 
Garden of the Horticultural Society, and also from wild specimens 
transmitted by Mr. Hartweg, the Society’s collector in Mexico. The 
figures quoted below differ slightly in their broader leaves and hairy 
peduncles. 
INTRODUCTION; WHERE GRowN; CuLtTuRE. Said to have been 
first raised by Messrs. Low & Co. in 1837, from seeds collected in 
Georgia, by Mr. Alexander Gordon, probably from the hottest parts 
of that state. Our drawing was made in the Birmingham Horticultural 
Society’s garden, in April. Mr. Cameron, the indefatigable curator 
of that establishment, informs us that it may be kept in flower during 
the whole year by being treated as a stove plant during winter and a 
greenhouse plant in summer. Soil—a sandy loam.
