found growing in the open air in sheltered situations in British gardens, but this gives a false idea of the other 
species, as its flowers are collected in globular heads, while those of most of the other species are in spikes or 
panicles. The name of Buddlea was given in honour of Adam Buddle, a friend of Ray.

Description, &c.—This is a very ornamental shrub, which is particularly valuable as it flowers very late in the 
autumn, and retains its flowers during a portion of the winter. When planted in the free ground of a conservatozy, 
it soon attains a large size and flowers profusely, seven spikes of flowers having been known to be produced on a 
branch not above eighteen inches long. Very poor gravelly soil is said to suit it best, as if it is grown in rich soil 
it is apt to produce leaves instead of flowers. 
GENUS VIII. 
CALCEOLARIA Fewill, THE CALCEOLARIA. 
ee 
Tin, Syst. DIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
Generic Cuaracter.—Lower lip of the corolla incurved, calceolate ; upper lip small. Stamens two. (G. Don.) 
Description, &c.—The species contained in this genus are generally either suffruticose or herbaceous plants. 
The name of Calceolaria signifies a little slipper, in allusion to the form of the corolla. The number of species in 
the genus is very great, and if we add to them the immense mass of hybrids and varieties that are continually being 
raised, it will be evident that in a work like the present it will be impossible to do more than mention a few of 
the most distinct of the original species, from which the principal hybrids have been raised. 
1.—CALCEOLARIA CRENATIFLORA Cav. THE CRENATE-FLOWERED CALCEOLARIA. 
Synonymes.—C. anomala Pers.; C. pendula Sweet; C. suberecta Hort. 
Encravines.—Bot. Mag., t. 3255 ; Bot. Reg., t. 1609; Sweet's Brit. Flow. Gard., 2nd series, t. 155 ; and our fig. 1, in Pl. 41. 
Speciric Cuaracter.—Leaves obovate-oblong, unequally serrated, rather tomentose. Lower lip of the corolla crenated. (@. Don.) 
Description, &c.—This is one of the handsomest species of the Chilian Calceolarias, and it was introduced 
about 1832. It is herbaceous, of remarkably vigorous growth and handsome foliage, and it has very showy 
flowers. Perhaps none of the Calceolarias have been parents of a more numerous progeny than this one, as almost 
all the handsome spotted kinds have been raised from it, as also many of those with a dark blotch in the centre. 
It should have abundance of water while growing, as from the large size of its leaves evaporation is very great.
