FLORA AND SYLVA, 



G. Kellyana. — A very pretty rock-plant 

 raised as a cross between Cs. plantaginea and 

 Fothergillii and only differing from the last in 

 shape of leaf and its longer flowers upon which 

 the markings are smaller and thicker. It is a 

 rare plant, easily grown in Scotland but more 

 difficult towards the south. Its form resembles 

 the Mimulus, closely hugging the ground,with 

 oval leaves covered by soft white hairs ; the 

 slipper-shaped flowers of deep yellow, closely 

 spotted with brown, appear from June to Sep- 

 tember in heads of only two or three flowers. 

 Increased by cuttings or division. Though 

 sometimes injured in sharp winters, it is hardy, 

 thriving in a moist crevice of the rock-garden 

 in stiffish loam mixed with a little peat. One 

 of the best and most easily grown of border 

 kinds. 



C.lobata. — A distinct kind from the moun- 

 tains of Peru, where it grows as a hairy trail- 

 ing herb with long-stalked roundish leaves and 

 flowersof clear yellow, spotted with red inside; 

 the upper lip small and the lower large, swol- 

 len, and recurved. Useful under glass during 

 winter, flowering freely in baskets or trailing 

 from the stages. 



C. mexicana. — A robust annual from a great 

 height in the mountains of Mexico and Gua- 

 temala. Its mass of golden flowers and bold 

 foliage may be used for lighting up odd cor- 

 ners, where it will often re-sow itself. Cs. gra- 

 cilis of Ecuador, and tenuis of Chili, are allied 

 species. 



C. nana. — A miniature of C. Fothergillii 

 from the same region, but only 2 to 3 inches 

 high. 



C. pardanthera. — A scarce hybrid raised 

 between Cs. Fothergillii and thyrsijlora, with 

 open yellow flowers blotched with brownish- 

 purple and very handsome. 



C. Pavonii. — The best of the herbaceous 

 Calceolarias, with stout stem of 3 to 4 feet, 

 covered with clammy hairs, and large much- 

 toothed triangular leaves upon stems broadly 

 winged to the base. Showy yellow flowers in 

 large spreading spikes from autumn into win- 

 ter, when they are very useful under glass. In 

 the open a shady corner against a north-west 

 wall suits it best, the roots being lifted or 

 covered in winter. There is a group of allied 

 kinds including tomentosa, a very woolly plant; 

 calycina,with flowers bunched like a Geranium ; 



perfoliata, with smaller flowers and a different 

 leaf-outline; and dilatata^ slender kind from 

 Ecuador, smaller in leaf and flower. 



C. petiolaris. — A tall bushy annual of 3 to 

 4 feet, with large coarse leaves clasping the 

 stem and an abundance of yellow flowers in 

 loose clusters. The flowers are too small to be 

 effective, and composed of lips nearly equal 

 and closely compressed. Ecuador. Syn. C.Jlori- 

 bunda and connata. 



C. pinnata. — A slender annual of rather 

 weedy growth, with finely cut leaves and pallid 

 yellow flowers. It was the first Calceolaria 

 grown in gardens, coming from Peru in 1773, 

 but is hardly worth growing. Naturalised in 

 India and other warm climates. 



C. pisacomensis. — A distinct plant of tall 

 growth, with rough, deeply-toothed leaves 

 rolled at the edges, and heavy clusters of 

 orange-red flowers, of which only the lower 

 lip is seen. Peru. 



C. polifolia. — An erect shrub with small 

 whitish leaves and heads of scanty yellow 

 flowers, too small for effect. Chili. Several 

 other kinds belong to this group, but none are 

 of value. 



C. punctata. — A shrubby plant with oval, 

 doubly - toothed leaves and helmet - shaped 

 flowers of white, spotted lilac. A common 

 Chilian plant, unpleasant in smell. One form 

 bears lilac flowers spotted with yellow inside 

 the lower lip. 



C. purpurea. — An erect herb of 1 2 to 1 8 

 inches, with rough coarsely-toothed leaves, 

 covered with gum, and large loose clusters of 

 small purplish flowers, the upper lip of which 

 closes lid-like over the lower. Chili. 1826. A 

 pretty form of this, picta, bears white flowers 

 with a band of bright purple shading around 

 the gap of the lower lip. 



C. racemosa. — A plant near C. corymbosa but 

 not so good. Patagonia. Syn. G. Herbertiana. 



C. salicifolia. — A neat evergreen shrub of 

 2 feet, with oblong leaves and pouched flowers 

 of lemon-yellow and pure white. A plant of 

 fine habit for walls or pillars, flowering in 

 summer and autumn. 



C. sessilis. — A shrubby plant with woolly 

 stems and broad stalkless leaves; flowers deep 

 yellow, with lips tightly compressed. Chili. 



C. Sinclairii. — A half-hardy herb from 

 New Zealand, with oblong hairy leaves and
