The late Dr. Bindley in describing the previously known kinds of this genus, thus refers to 
JUandfordia Cienningliamii : — ** None of tiiem are to be compared for beauty with tlie plant of which 
the late Allan Cunningham gave me a specimen, the flowers of which are fully twice as large as 
B. margbiata (grandi/lora). The leaves have neither serratnres nor roughness on tlu- edge, but are 
perfectly smooth. The flowers are of a deep rich red tint, e.xcept at the ends of the petals, where they 
are yellow. 5s., 7?. 6rf. and 10s. 6d.
