Synonym — Azalea Sinensis coccinea, Cunningham's M.S. 
This beautiful plant is a hybrid produced from A. coccinea, fertilised with the 
pollen of A. Sinensis. The size of the flowers and the foliage, with the entire 
habit of the plant, is quite that of the A. sinensis, with the exception of the colour, 
which differs only in the light orange red round the edge of the corolla, being 
blended into the yellow in such a manner as to make a beautiful and striking 
appearance. 
Many other plants were raised at the same time with the one figured and it 
was curious to observe several of them without the slightest deviation from 
A. sinensis. 
For the opportunity of figuring this fine plant, I am indebted to Mr. Cunning- 
ham, of Comely Bank, near Edinburgh, in whose collection it flowered last 
February. 
It is an abundant flowerer, and requires the same treatment as the other green- 
house varieties of this genus-
