PENLOPETES PHOENICIA.

many branches, about 2 feet high, that bore at the 
axil of each leaf a saucer-shaped flower about 1inch 
across, of glowing pomegranate red. The plants 
were gemmed from base to summit with these showy blos- 
51 soms from August until killed by frost. If grown in pots, we be-
