silica, Roxburgh, appeared shortly afterwards, and is represented 
to be widely spread in the East Indies; it resembles the preceding 
except that it has a stronger habit, rather larger leaves, and larger 
flowers of a brighter scarlet and orange, which are produced eight 
or ten, or more together. 
JE. Roocburghii was made known to us at the same time and 
from the same source as the last; it is a smaller plant, with deep 
orange-coloured blossoms, which hitherto have been but rarely 
seen. 
JE. Horsfieldii , from Java in 1843, resembles the last, but has 
more rotund foliage. 
JE. Boschianns, also a native of Java, whence it came in 1844; 
it is a smaller plant, with nearly cordate leaves ; flowers about an 
inch and a half long, having a wide tube, which with the limb is 
righ reddish-scarlet, the large calyx is coloured with a deep red 
purple. A free summer-flowering species. 
JE. Lobbianus , of stronger habit than the last, leaves more 
acute; flowers considerably larger, tube and limb bright orange- 
scarlet, calyx deep purple; from Java, the date of its introduc¬ 
tionbeing 1845. It also is an abundant bloomer from June 
to August. 
JE. pulcher. This plant differs from the preceding in having 
larger leaves, a smaller, green, and glabrous calyx, and a longer 
tube, which, with the exterior of the limb, is rich vivid scarlet, 
the interior of both is pale yellow. Introduced from Java along 
with the last. 
JE. miniatus. This species approaches more nearly the JE. 
Boschianus , but has a short, dish-shaped calyx, and deep ver¬ 
milion-coloured flowers, with a blotch of bright yellow in the 
throat; a most abundant bloomer. Also from Java. 
JE. speciosus. A strong-growing species, with large bright 
green foliage, and flowers between three and four inches long, 
produced in fascicles of ten to twenty together; the lower part 
of the tube orange, the upper part and exterior of the limb scarlet; 
round the margin of each lobe of the limb is a black line, which 
divides the scarlet from the orange colour of the interior. A free 
summer-flowering species, from Java. 
2E. longijiorus. This species resembles the last, except that it
