iESCHYNANTHUS LONGIFLORUS. 
Our drawing of this splendid acquisition was made from a plant which flowered 
in the collection of Messrs. Veitch, in August, 1847. 
For its culture, propagation, and other particulars, reference may be made to our 
remarks on M. speciosus, Magazine of Botany, vol. xiv., t. 199. 
The generic name is derived from aischuno, to be ashamed, and anthos, a flower, 
in allusion to the plants always flowering in shady situations.
