 seeds received from the late Mr. Thomas Drummond ; but in 

 what particular part of America they were collected we are not 

 informed, but, most probably, either in Louisiana or Texas."

" This is an extremely delicate and pretty species, and one 

 which we believe has not, as yet, been described by any botanist. 

 Its foliage is very pleasing ; and the flowers, which are only fully 

 open at mid-day (being impatient of the solar rays), are truly 

 brilliant." {Flor. Cab., Feb.)
