ON THE CULTIVATION OF CHORIZEMA. 
125 
Chorizema ovata. —This is another lovely species ; and when well 
cultivated, nothing can exceed it in beauty, being a little bushy 
plant, covered with large scarlet flowers ; native of New Holland, 
introduced in 1830. 
Chorizema triangularis (triangular leaved). — The flowers are 
scarlet, but not so fine as the last; native of New Holland ; in¬ 
troduced in 1830. 
Chorizema angustifolia. —This is the Dillwynia glycimfolia. The 
leaves of this species are very narrow ; the flowers are yellow and 
red. It is somewhat of a climber ; a native of New South Wales, 
introduced in 1830. 
Chorizema Henchmanni. —This is one of the most beautiful of 
the whole genus. When in flower it is one splendid sheet of scar¬ 
let ; that is, when the plant is well cultivated ; but it is rather 
difficult to keep it any length of time ; but, I believe, the reason 
of its dying off so soon is, that the plant has too much soil to grow 
in, and that the pots are too deep and too narrow. The soil being 
sifted is another reason why the plants do not live long ; the 
drainage also is incomplete ; that is, the stuff that is put over the 
potsherds is rather too fine. A native of New Holland ; intro¬ 
duced in 1825. 
Chorizema platylobioides , (platylobium-like).—This is a very 
distinct species, and at the same time a very pretty plant; the 
flowers are yellow ; a native of New Holland ; introduced in 1825. 
This is a very rare species. 
Chorizema Spartioides. —This is a very slender species, and is 
also a climber ; the flowers are large and yellow, and come in 
the axils of the leaves. This is rather a scarce species, and is 
rather difficult to grow, but is certainly well worth cultivating. 
A native of New Holland; introduced in 1836. 
Chorizema spectahilis. —This is a magnificent species; the flowers 
are scarlet and orange; it is a climbing species, and in habit is 
nearly allied to Rhombia , but is a more abundant flowerer, and is 
easily cultivated. The flower spikes are pendant, and produce 
from five to ten flowers on a spike ; introduced in 1836, and 
flowered in 1841. A native of New Holland.
