' specibsa B. C. showy » □ or 1 ? ... S Havannah 1830. C l.p Bot. cab. 1893 



" This brilliant plant is a native of the Havannah ; whence we received it, 

 through the kindness of our friend W.J. M'Leay, Esq., in 1830. There 

 is a figure in Jacquin's Aviericana, which he calls R. odorata, closely 

 resembling this, possessing the fragrance of violets ; but ours has not the 

 slightest scent. The flowers are exceedingly rich in colours ; and make a 

 most striking appearance, being quite as splendid as those of Ixorfl coc- 

 cinea, if not more so, although our specimen was by no means a strong 

 one." {Bot.Cab.,Veb.) 



CC VI. Mi/rsinece. ikfyrsine capitellata, the cluster-flowered myrsine, is 

 figured in the Botanical Magazine for March, t. 3222. " In Nepal, the 

 wood of this tree, and of M. seraiserrata, is of a chocolate colour ; radi- 

 ated, compact, and heavy, and much esteemed by the hill people for 

 various carpenter's works : the ripe fruits are also eaten."

" A variety of considerable beauty ; distinguished by its very dwarf, 

 compact habit, and broader leaves. Raised from Mr. Cuming's -seeds by 

 Mr. Campbell. In all its habits, it seems to agree with the species to 

 which we refer it as a variety." {Bot. Reg., Feb.) This is one of the kinds 

 of which we have spoken in Vol. VIII. p. 481. 



65. CALCEOLA'RlA577 integrifulia. 



3 viscosissima Hook, most viscose « | or 3 n Bt.Y Chile 1832. C l.p Bot. mag. 3214 



The leaves are large and ovate, and, as well as the surface of the stems 

 and branches, clad with a very viscid pubescence ; " so viscid, indeed, that 

 it is difficult to separate specimens from the paper in which they have been 

 dried." The corymb contains a good many flowers of a " bright but not 

 deep yellow." Dr. Hooker fears to make this more than a variety of C. 

 integrifolia, to which it looks considerably unlike. Raised by Mr. Cameron 

 of the Birmingham Botanic Garden. {Bot. Mag., Feb.)

" The root is a small roundish tuber, which produces several trailing 

 branches ,• and these, taken off, strike root readily, and form plants." {Bot. 

 Cab., Feb.)

A show}', freely-growing, half-hardy species, which will grow in any soil, 

 and may be increased by suckers, cuttings, or seeds. {Brilish Flower- 

 Garden, Feb.)

 Ruellifl oblongifblia Micltaux. 



" This is by far the prettiest of the extra-tropical Jcanthaceae, and is 

 really an interesting addition to our hardy border flowers. It is a dwarf 

 herbaceous perennial, requiring to be planted in a mixture of loam and 

 peat, and is readily increased by parting the roots. It is a native of Ca- 

 rolina ; and has been but recently introduced by Mr. Dennis, from whose 

 collection our drawing was taken in August last." {British Flower-Garden, 

 March.) The corolla is funnel-shaped, of a pale azure colour, three 

 fourths of an inch long, and more than half a one over : the flowers are 

 rather numerously produced.
