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 effected either by cuttings, or 
by grafting it on stocks of C. pulchella, C. alba, 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.
