Collected, by Mr. Douglas, for the London Horticultural 

 Society. " It grows from 1 ft. to l^ft. high; and produces its 

 pretty blossoms most copiously in May and June, when it has 

 been sown the previous autumn : if sown in May, it will flower 

 in August and September." Its corolla is twice the size of that 

 of C. grandiflora ; the upper lip and the tube are white, the 

 lower lip rosy purple. [Bot. Reg., Jan.)

A very interesting species in the beauty of its flowers and 

 leaves, and in the comparative hardihood it has evinced : the 

 last quality is likely to render the first and second enjoyable by 

 British lovers of the beauties of plants. Stem arboreous, 3 ft. 

 to 12 ft. high. Branches short and leafy. Leaves from 2 in. to 

 9 in. long, and from 1 in. to 5 in. broad ; alternate, ovate-oblong, 

 waved and scalloped, with short blunt lobes ; the whole dark 

 green above, paler beneath. Flowers produced singly from \\ie 

 forks of the branches. Corolla funnel-shaped, 7 in. long ; green 

 towards the base, orange- yellow farther along its length ; the 

 limb 5-lobed, of a deep orange-scarlet; and this colour, lessened 

 in intensity, seems to extend down the tube until it blends with 

 the orange yellow, which, in its turn, blends with the green 

 below it. B. sanguinea was raised in 1833, from imported 

 seeds, at Hayes Place, Kent, the seat of Miss Trail. " One of 

 the plants survived the winter in the open border; and this has 

 happened to be the first to flower, which it did in October, 1834. 

 The rest of the plants began to blossom soon after, and all, 

 apparently, varying in the degree of intensity in colour .... In 

 a sheltered border, with a southern aspect, we have no doubt of 

 its flowering quite as well as if retained in the conservatory."

A small upright branched shrub, with obovate pointed leaves, 

 from a quarter of an inch to half an inch long ; of a glaucous- 

 green colour. Flowers produced at the axils of the leaves, 

 singly or three together. Corolla large for the foliage ; by the 

 figure, l^^in. long; scarlet, tubular, and expanded at the mouth 

 into two distantly separated lips, the lower of which is 3- cleft. 

 Mr. Charlwood introduced the species, in the end of 1831, or 

 early in 1832. (British Flower- Garden, January.) It is a 

 delicate showy little shrub. Mr. Dennis has plants of it in 

 cultivation.
