curved inwards. Style flesh-coloured, hairy below and 
smooth upwards. Stigmas 5, of the same colour, re- 
flexed. 
This elegant little plant is a mule production raised 
last year at the Nursery of Messrs. Colvill, from a seed 
of Dimacria pinnata produced by the seed of a germen 
fertilized by Hoarea atra, and it is nearly intermediate 
between them. Nothing can exceed it in brilliancy of 
colour and elegance of growth ; and we think this in- 
teresting tribe will now become more fashionable, since 
their colours are so much improved by culture : be- 
sides, they grow and flower as freely as any of the 
shrubby kinds, if treated according to our directions. 
We think them particularly well adapted for small 
greenhouses, as they take but little room, and if ma- 
naged well will continue to flower all the summer. 
They will all thrive in an equal mixture of turfy 
loam, peat, and sand; and may be increased by seeds, 
or by the little tubers from the roots.
