 83 MIMULUS, DUPLEX FLOWERING, saved by Mr. Bull from his strain of unique and extra- 

 ordinary Mimuluses, wherein the calyx seems to mimic the corolla by being as beautifully 

 marked, imparting a massiveness and a durability hitherto unknown to the Mimulus,

 stove as a small shrubby plant. Its foliage is neat, somewhat resembling that of the 

 m yrtle, and its flowers are disposed in clusters on the tops of the shoots . 4 seeds 5 0
