"l/Uhatti in a Name?" 
Possibly you have wondered, how in the world 
such a lovely flower as SALPIGLOSSIS ac¬ 
quired such an atrocious name. There is, how¬ 
ever, a reason for everything and in this in¬ 
stance, the form of the flower is responsible. 
The name comes from Greek—“salpinx"—• 
meaning a tube and “glossis” alluding to the 
tongue-like style in the mouth of the tube-like 
corolla. 
With this explanation we can safely forget the 
tongue-twisting quality of the name. For after 
all, Salpiglossis is one of the loveliest of garden 
flowers. The blooms, unique in form have the 
texture of velvet and are so intricately crimped, 
veined and modified by overlaying colors that 
they seem to be stamped from iridescent metal. 
If you have never grown Salpiglossis, forget 
the unwieldly name and try it. 
See numbers 3445 to 3472 on this page.
