PAXTON'S FLOWER GAEDEN.

whom we received fresh flowers last autumn. Hartweg 

 found it commonly near Santa Fe de Bogota, but, owing to the 

 mismanagement of that collector, its seeds, like nearly all else 

 that he brought home with him, perished in the hold of a 

 sugar ship. It has long narrow lanceolate deep green leaves, 

 quite toothless at the edge, usually growing in threes. The 

 flowers appear singly in the axils, and are full 3 inches long, 

 while the stalk measures 2| inches more. The tube of 

 the calyx has the form of a lengthened cone, its lobes being 

 tipped . with light emerald green. The petals, which are also 

 salmon-coloured, are lanceolate, wavy, not rolled up, but a 

 little turned back at the point, and something longer than 

 the calyx.
