 leaves, which are almost hidden by a large tuft of cockscomb- 

 like flowers. Tlic body of the flowers is dark crimson, from 

 which arise delicate projections of a boantiful purple color. 

 Flowering plants in hot-house collections are somewhat over- 

 looked; they should not be, for they are equally attractive to 

 most people, and tend to break np the monotony of orna- 

 mental foliage.
