Seemannii (fig. "Bot. Mag." 4504). — Panama. Peduncles 3-4 in 

 the axils of the upper small leaves, forming a terminal head of 

 flowers ; corolla small, reddish-orange, tube short, cylindrical, 

 hairy. Allied to longifolium. 

 tPiflomm (fig. "Bot. Mag." 4342). — Colombia. Peduncles very 

 short, axillary, umbellate, bracteolate ; pedicels about 3, much 

 longer than the peduncles ; corolla small, yellowish, covered with 

 reddish hair, tube ventricose ; calyx hemispherical, woolly, 

 tubiflorum (fig. "Cav. Ic." vi. tab. 584). — Colombia. Whole 

 plant hairy ; leaves ovate, short-petioled ; peduncles twin in the 

 axils, twice as long as the petioles ; flowers erect ; calyx small ; 

 corolla funnel-shaped, contracted at the mouth, lobes very small. 

 Closely allied to hondense. 



Jerdonia indica (fig. " Bot. Mag." 5814). — Sispara'Ghat, on the Nilgiri 

 Hills. Pale lilac flowers. A pretty plant for small pots, much 

 in the way of Sinning ia concinna. It was flowered at Kew from 

 seeds I sent home from the Sispara Ghat, but is, I believe, lost to 

 cultivation, though it could easily be reintroduced. 



Klugia zeylanica (fig. " Bot. Mag." 4620). — South India and Ceylon. 



Only of botanical interest, and not very easy to grow ; it is a very 

 common weed in swampy places in subalpine forests in India. 



Koellikeria argyrostigma (fig. "Bot. Mag." 4175).— Peru. A pretty 

 little pot-plant for the stove ; leaves white-spotted ; flowers 

 cream-coloured, red-spotted, in long spikes. 



Lietzia brasiliensis (fig. " Gartenfl." t. 1005). — Brazil. A very curious 

 tuberous-rooted stove-plant ; flowers green, brown-mottled, 

 tubular, wide gaping, in terminal racemes. It must not be 

 kept in a high temperature, except at first starting, and plenty 

 of air must be given, as it will not flower unless the growth is 

 sturdy ; it also requires feeding. 



Lysionotus earnosa (Hemsley in " Gard. Chron." 1900, ii. 349) (not 

 figured). — China. Thick fleshy leaves ; flowers If inch long, 

 white, tinged with lilac, Didymocarpus-like, in pairs in the axils 

 of the upper leaves. Rare in cultivation. It is in the Kew 

 collection. 



pauciflora (fig. Makino, "111. Fl. Jap." t. 2).— Japan. Leaves 



lanceolate, roughly toothed ; flowers short-pedicelled, axillary 



large, infundibuliform, campanulate. 

 serrata (fig. "Bot. Mag." 6538).— Khasya Hills, India. Leaves 



large ; flowers in drooping long-peduncled axillary corymbs ; 



calyx small ; corolla 1^ inch long, funnel-shaped, pale lilac 



veined. Can be grown from seed as well as cuttings. 

 Mitraria coccinea (fig. "Bot. Mag." t, 4462). — Chili. A beautiful 



greenhouse shrubby plant ; scarlet flowers with swollen tubes. 



Very common in cultivation. 

 Monophyllaea gflauca.— Borneo. Small flowers in unilateral scorpioid 



racemes. Is a plant of only botanical interest. 

 Monopyle racemosa (fig. " Bot. Mag." 6233).— Colombia, Herbaceous 



stove perennial ; racemes stout, erect, terminal ; flowers large, 



white, Gloxinia-like. Much in the way of Gloxinia maculata.
