Spec. Char., §c. Stem suffruticose, branched, diffuse. Branches ascending, 
rather tomentose, canescent. Leaves flat, or hardly revolute at the margins ; 
under surface tomentosely hoary, upper surface greenish glaucous. Lower

August. 
A splendid plant, with reddish crimson flowers ; 
the petals imbricated, and having a small orange spot 
at the base of each. Sweet considers it as having the “Sjg= 
darkest-coloured, if not the handsomest, flowers of “¥¥ Shy R

the genus. The flowers are also, he says, very large PRO \y 
for the size of the plant. It is nearly related to H. ad 
rhodanthum, but is readily distinguished from it by its 98 Horewuideaos 
canescent leaves, and stronger habit of growth.
