Scrophularince—Phygelius. 341 
1. Ph. Capénsis.—A glabrous perennial from 1 to 2 feet 
high with tetragonal erect simple stems, opposite ovate-lanceo- 
late petiolate leaves, and terminal panicles of rosy-red flowers 
with a yellow throat. It is a native of South Africa, but not 
of the Cape Colony as the name would imply. 
11. PAULOWNIA. 
This also, as far as at present known, is a monotypic genus. 
It is a tree of moderate size with very large opposite ovate- 
cordate deciduous leaves clothed with a greyish woolly tomen- 
tum, and terminal panicles of purplish-violet spotted fragrant 
flowers. It has been referred to Bignonidcee, but the 4 stamens, 
albuminous, though winged, seeds, etc., seem to indicate its 
position in this order. The genus was named in honour of a 
Russian princess. 
1. P. imperiadlis (fig. 187).—-This is a distinct hardy fast- 
growing tree, but in consequence of the flowers being formed 
in the Autumn preceding 
the Spring when they 
should expand, they are 
often destroyed by frost. 
It is a native of Japan. 
Scrophularia, Fig- 
wort, is a genus of tall 
leafy herbs with terminal

country.

der branching annuals

coloured flowers in the axils of the upper leaves. Calyx deeply 
5-lobed. Corolla-tube saccate at the base on the upper side ; 
limb bilabiate; upper lip bilobate, curved backwards; lower 
lip trilobate ; middle lobe pouch-like, enclosing the 4 stamens.
