CLIANTHUS. 
(AUSTRALIAN GLORY PEA) 
One of the most beautiful plants in cultivation, about 
% feet in height, with neat compound leaves, and 
drooping clusters of large, rich scarlet, long-petaled, 
pea-shaped flowers, 3 inches in length, something 
similar to the splendid blossoms of the Coral Tree, 
each flower being picturesquely marked with a large, 
black, cloud-like blotch in front. To grow this 
splendid plant successfully in the open air, it should 
have a dry, sunny exposure, and should never be 
watered. Magnificent flowering shrub.
