Europe. 
E. grandiflorum. N.W. America. 
ESGALLONIA. Saxifragaceae. 
E. coquimbensis. Chile. 
E. exoniensis (pterocladonx rubra). Garden origin. 
Height 13 feet, spread of bush 14 feet. The 
Escallonias flourish in light sandy soil. Most of 
them grow in a border which has little pro- 
tection. Exoniensis has the most exposed place 
of all and is quite hardy. It flowers from June 
onwards. 
*E. floribunda. S. America. 
E. langleyensis (philippiana X punctata). Garden origin. 
E. maerantha. Chiloe. 
*E. montevidensis. E. South America. 
*E. organensis. Organ Mountains. 
Height 9 feet, 6 feet through. This Escallonia 
from the Organ Mountains requires some protec- 
tion in winter, though its position is very sheltered, 
a few feet away from a south wall. We have grown 
it in the open for five years, and it has formed a good 
bush, flowering each autumn. 
E. philippiana. Valdivia. 
E. rubra. Chile. 
Height 12 feet, spread of bush 15 feet. A par- 
ticularly good colour, but the shrub is rather 
straggling.
