See in Gard. Mag., vol. ix. p. 235, 236. Mr. D. Don (since 

 Professor) had reputed this to be a native of Chili. Dr. Lind- 

 ley has not been able to find any trace of it as Chilian, and 

 has judged it to be identical with CE. humifusa Nutt., which was 

 originally discovered on the sea coast near Cumberland Island, 

 in Florida. It is a pretty little hardy annual, which creeps close 

 to the ground, forming a plant 1 ft. across, and shedding its seeds 

 freely. The tube of the calyx is of a red colour. Its expanded 

 corolla is scarcely so far about as a shilling : when exposed to 

 much light, it is of a very pale delicate flesh-colour, but when the 

 plant grows in a cool shaded place, of a beautiful pink colour. 

 Mrs. Marryat has the species in cultivation. {Bot. Reg., Feb.)
