DUPLEX-FLOWERING MIMULUS. 
In introducing these extraordinaiy novelties, Mr. W. B. thinks he cannot do 
better than quote the able and lucid description given of them in the Gardeners’ 
Chronicle : — 
“ We have more than once had occasion to mention Mr. Bull’s strain of Mimuluscs, and we 
have now to notice another perfectly new strain, with veritable duplex monkey-flowers, thorough 
hoso-iu-hose, as though the calyx, justifying the name, had taken to mimicking the corolla. In these 
remarkable curiosities the corolla exactly resembles some of the forms commonly known in gardens 
as 3fimulus maculosus, but instead of the caly.x being tho usual form and green colour, this organ is 
converted into a coloured body almost exactly like the corolla in form, and, like it, brightly coloured 
and handsomely spotted. 
“ Looking at Mimuluses as decorative plants, this now feature is a very great advantage. No 
one can doubt or dispute the beauty of some of the fine varieties of Mimulus, but tho defect, from a 
garden point of view is, that the flowers drop too soon— tho beauty is not enduring. Now, leaving 
out of question altogether the fact that the ornamental part of the plant is at once doubled in quan- 
tity, there remains the very important fact, that be tho corolla ever so flectiug and evanescent, when 
it falls, the plant to all intents and purposes remains in flower : the calyx is virtually in itself a 
flower so far as ornament is concerned, and this part does not fall like the corolla, but lasts as long as 
its substance will endure. The great merit of tho new race is, that tho flowers, as represented by 
the outer of tho two floral whorls remain persistent for a period hitherto unknown amongst 
Mimuluscs.”
