purplish red. The very hardy and well-known F. riccartoni is 
descended from a seedling of this variety. The var. gracilis has 
very slender flowers, a character specially noticeable in the unopened 
bud. Both these forms are represented on Plate 106. F. coccinea is also 
a variety with dark crimson flowers. All the forms of F. macrostema 
are hardy in the warmer parts of England.

These are exceedingly numerous, and a list of only the 
best would fill many pages. As in similar cases, we can 
but give a brief selection from among the best to serve as a suggestion; 
but it must be remembered that many new varieties are put upon the 
market every season, and all such lists should be supplemented by the 
catalogue of a good trade grower. For our purpose it will be well to 
classify them first under the respective heads of Single- and Double- 
_ flowered, and then under the colour of calyx and corolla.
