This plant, Dr. Lindley observes, " evidently belongs to the ocymoideous 

 labiate plants, but does not agree with any of the published genera. Its sin- 

 gular calyx seems by itself to mark it sufficiently ; independently of which, 

 the plant differs from Plectranthus and its allies in the equal size of the two 

 lips of the corolla ; and from O'cymuin and its allies in the long declinate 

 stamens, distinctly bilabiate corolla, and whole habit." It is an ornamental 

 greenhouse plant, with large white flowers having lilac veins, and long 

 violet-coloured stamens. {Bot. Reg., March, 1843.)

The flowers of this species are as brilliant in colour as those of the com- 

 mon scarlet Ferbena. As yet it has only been kept in a stove, but it will 

 probably prove as hardy as any of the other species. {Faxt. Mag. of Bot.,

 which is said to have " the appearance of an Olive, the flowers of a Ferbena,

A pretty little alpine plant from the Himalayan Mountains. The flowers 

 are of a pinkish lilac with a yellow eye, and the foliage and branches are 

 densely clothed with long silky hairs. The plant appears to be quite hardy.

This plant has the singular property of producing its panicles of flowers 

 without the leaves. In the month of February the flowers " appear in pro- 

 fusion upon rugged, fleshy, gouty stems, and the leaves are not formed till 

 some weeks later." The species is not at all ornamental. (Bot. Reg., 

 Aug. 1842.)

This is decidedly the most splendid plant belonging to the genus, as its 

 flowers are of a most briUiant scarlet, and arranged in a most graceful man-
