rAXTON'S FLOWER GARDEN. 



In the first place we have a Peruvian plant collected by Dombey, and distributed by the Paris 

 Herbarium, under the name of " C. grandiflora, No. 382." This, which is nearly entirely glabrous, 

 has much shorter flowers, and blunter leaves than C. buxifolia, the calyx being almost half as long- 

 as the corolla tube ; it is probably C. ovata. 



Among Bridges' last Bolivian Collection, is a shrub with leaves and calyxes covered all over 

 with a viscid glandular pubescence, an extremely narrow crimson streaked corolla and calyx, the 

 latter tapering to the base, and an inconsiderable limb, shorter than the projecting stamens. That 

 we presume to be C. tomentosa. 



Finally we have in the same collection, a species with pubescent leaves, with a great tendency to 

 become round at the point, flowers growing singly at the end of short lateral branches, and glabrous 

 calyxes, almost half as long as the tube of the yellow corolla ; and to this the name of C. unifiora 

 seems to belong.
