Scrophularinee—Calceolaria. 335 
3. CALCEOLARIA. 
Herbs or undershrubs with viscid or hairy rarely glabrous 
foliage and terminal panicles or cymes of white, yellow, orange, 
purple, brown, violet or spotted showy flowers. The corolla 
affords the most striking character of this genus. It is 2-lipped, 
the upper one being small, and the lower large and inflated, 
bearing some resemblance to a slipper in some species, hence the 
generic name from the Latin calceolus,a shoe. In C. jovellina, 
however, the lips are nearly equal. Stamens 2. Capsule 2- 
celled, subtended by the somewhat enlarged calyx. The species 
are mostly natives of South America, two extending to New 
Zealand. All those mentioned below are from South 
America. 
1. C. integrifolia.— An erect shrubby species, glabrous, 
pubescent, or viscid. Leaves varying from linear-lanceolate to 
ovate, crenate, rugose, narrowed into a short petiole. Flowers 
numerous, corymbose, yellow. 
2. C. amplexicailis.— This species has ovate-lanceolate 
sessile stem-clasping crenate very hairy leaves and corymbose 
panicles of yellow flowers. (. crendta is a closely allied species 
with sessile leaves and very numerous though rather smaller 
flowers. 
In addition to the foregoing there are several nearly or quite 
hardy species, which will flourish in the warm humid climate of 
the South-west of England and Ireland; but they appear to 
be very rare, and probably some of the best are no longer to 
be found in cultivation. C: Fothergilli is one of the hardiest 
herbaceous kinds, being found as far south as the Falkland 
Islands. Itis a dwarf glandular pubescent herb with villous 
petiolate spathulate leaves and long narrow yellow and purplish 
brown flowers. C. plantaginea is an herbaceous scapose 
Chilian species with broad radical leaves and few yellow flowers 
spotted with red, on naked scapes about 9 inches high. C. 
Kellyana is a hybrid form, said to be quite hardy, and probably 
the issue of a cross between the last-named and another species. 
C. corymbosa has numerous yellow flowers. C. arachnordea is 
an erect branching species about 2 feet high, having the 
spathulate leaves clothed with a dense whitish cobweb-like 
down and terminal clustered purplish red flowers. C. alba is 
a shrubby species with linear remotely toothed leaves and
