plant of this very handsome species was sent us from Sundridge 

 Park, Kent, the seat of Sir Samuel Scott, Bart., by our friend 

 Mr Malleson, by whom it had been raised from Chilian seeds. 

 It appears to be quite as hardy as the Tupa Feuillei, and not 

 inferior to it in beauty." {British Flotaer-Gardeii, Oct.) T.

It is unlike in its features, except its flowers, any of the other 

 kinds of Chironz'a usual in collections. All its green parts 

 are coloured of a pleasing glaucous colour. Its leaves are broad 

 at the base, acuminate, and traversed lengthwise with from 3 to 

 5 veins. Its flowers are upon long peduncles, and are positioned 

 clear of the foliage ; they aie produced in succession from "July 

 to October." It is a hardy green-house species, ready of growth, 

 and easy of propagation. " The bitterness of the species is re- 

 markable even among its bitter neighbours." {Bot. Reg., Oct.) 

 It is not rare in the nurseries of the London neighbourhood.

In duration " decidedly annual." Short spreading hairs in- 

 vest most of its surface. Stem 1 ft. or more high, simple or 

 branched. Leaves, below opposite and oblong spatulate ; above 

 alternate and oblong, acute and aristate, somewhat cordate at 

 the base, sometimes even auriculated and semi-amplexicaul ; 

 of a pale green colour. Flowers very showy in their corollas, 

 produced in profusion, and disposed in terminal corymbs ; se- 

 veral flowers in a corymb. Corolla with its tube about thrice as 

 long as the tube of the calyx, the limb of five spreading, obovate, 

 approaching to rhomboidal, lobes pale purple without ; within, 

 or on the upper side, of a brilliant rose-red or purple ; varying 

 exceedingly on different individuals, in intensity, and in their 

 more or less red or purple tinge : the eye generally of an ex- 

 ceedingly deep crimson. The diameter of the limb is, in some 

 of the pictures of corollas, greater than that of a small halfpenny 

 piece. Dr. Hooker has stated of this species that it is very 

 handsome, and that it bids fair to be a great ornament to the 

 gardens of our country. 



Plants have been raised in the Glasgow Botanic Garden, from 

 seeds sent by the discoverer of the species, Mr. Drummond, 

 since dead. Dr. Hooker has named the species DrummondzV, 

 in commemoration of him. See in p. 608. of this present Number.
