find it planted, we should soon have an abundance of seed from 

 it; from which many varieties might be obtained of this most 

 interesting of all our hardy climbers. — A. Sleigh, Gardener to

The pods are of about the size of those of the white Dutch 

 runner: the seeds are considerably larger than those of the 

 laburnum, of about the same figure, and not of so dark a colour. 

 The seeds have been distributed.

" The species comes near to fulgens [that is, to Z/ychnis ful- 

 gens Fis.\ but is distinguished at once by its longer leaves, 

 attenuated at the base, larger flowers, longer calyx, with subulate 

 bristle-pointed teeth, more frequently [numerously] lobed petals, 

 and longer torus." Those who know of the showy beauty of 

 iychnis fulgens in its flowers, and would choose it on account 

 of this, will readily conclude that A. Bungea;za is a species 

 choosable for the gratification of themselves with its beauty. 



It " is a hardy perennial, requiring a loamy soil, and it may 

 be increased by cuttings, or by seeds, which it appears to perfect 

 freely." The lamina of the petal is described to be 1^ in. long : 

 this would render the circumference of the flower more than 

 3 in. in diameter. In the figure, two flowers are represented, 

 each of about 2 in. in diameter. The figure is derived from the 

 species in a living state, in the collection of Dr. Neill, Canon- 

 mills, Edinburgh, who had received it from Messrs. Booth of 

 the Flotbeck Nurseries, near Hamburgh. {Brit. Flaw.-Gard.,

It resembles, in its general aspect, a species of E'pacris ; in 

 its foliage, perhaps, E. grandiflora. Most or all of its flowers 

 are pendulous. Its corolla is tubular, more than half an inch 

 long, inflated in the middle of its length, tapered to each end, 

 most to the tip one. The native locality of rubra is marshy. 

 The figure is derived from the species in a living state, in the 

 collection of Messrs. Loddiges. {Bot. Beg., Jan.)
