This differs from B. serrulata in the leaves being crenulated, 

 not serrated ; and also in the flowers. The habit of it is very 

 pleasing. The flowers appear near the extremity of the branches, 

 and, about the month of May or June, they are fully expanded, 

 and continue in tolerable profusion until late in August. Messrs. 

 Loddiges have raised a number of plants from seeds received 

 several years ago from New Holland. [Paxt. Mag. of Bot.,

" This is probably the most beautiful plant of the temperate 

 flora of Mexico. It was originally met with by Mo^ino and 

 Sesse, two Spanish naturalists, authors of an unpublished Flora 

 Mexicana ; and has very lately been introduced to this country. 

 It is difficult to conceive anything more brilliant than the ap- 

 pearance of this species, when its rich vermilion-coloured flowers 

 are formed beneath the influence of a Mexican sun ; but, if it is 

 grown in a shaded situation, with too much heat and moisture, 

 the bright colours inevitably fade, and the plant is deprived of 

 half its beauty. It will, no doubt, prove a robust shrub of easy 

 culture, growing freely in a mixture of loam and peat in the 

 green-house. Cuttings of the young wood will strike freely in 

 sand under a bell-glass, on a moderate hot-bed. It is probably 

 about as hardy as F. arborescens, and, perhaps, like that species, 

 not enough so to stand the winter, or to flower well in the open 

 border; but it will certainly grow, and flower freely, in the 

 green-house ; and it is by no means impossible that it may even 

 succeed in the open air, in good summers, in a warm sheltered 

 situation." {Bot. Beg., Jan.)

" A new Holland plant, which flowered for the first time in 

 Europe in the garden of William Harrison, Esq., of Cheshunt, 

 in March, 1837. It is remarkably striking, on account of the 

 clear vivid crimson of its flowers, which are certainly the most 

 brilliant in this brilliant genus ; so that, although the spikes are
