CORRtEA bicolor. 
blossoms of both in a combined form. The lower part of the tube of its flowers is 
a lively and delicate crimson, which passes into a whitish tint towards the upper 
portion. The segments of the limb, which are singularly large, are purely white 
within, and the prominent yellow stamens constitute a pretty relief. Its habit is 
neat, but not remarkable, and the foliage is tolerably good, with a slight tinge of 
brown on the under side. 
With its allies, it is valuable for blooming through the winter months ; when 
it renders the greenhouse gay for a very considerable period. Placed among the 
crimson-flowered hybrids, it creates a most delightful variety, and is very easily 
cultivated in a light loamy soil. Increase may be efi'ected either by cuttings, or 
by grafting it on stocks of C. pulchella^ C. alha^ or C. speciosa. 
At Mr. Knight's, of the King's Road, Chelsea, where we procured our draw- 
ing in the autumn of 1840, the plant is now blooming most profusely, and is both 
elegant and ornamental.
