conservatory plant during the winter and spring months, easy of 
cultivation and an abundant flowerer. It should be grown in 
rich sandy loam, and allowed plenty of pot room. It strikes 
freely from cuttings. ‘The beauty of its large heads of scarlet 
flowers has induced me to figure it in the ‘ Refugium,’ the 
portrait of the plant in Regel’s ‘ Gartenflora’ doing the plant but 
little justice. —-W. W. S.
