teeth, but sometimes entire. Stamens 5, distinct, about half 
the length of the style: filaments clothed with a short woolly 
down. Style purple, glossy, clothed about the middle with 
glandular hairs. Séégma enclosed betwixt a two-lipped Indu- 
sium; one lip bearded with long hairs, the other smooth. Ova- 
rium below the calyx, 5-angular, furrowed between the angles, 
dark purple, smooth, at first erect, afterwards a little recurved 
with the weight of the flower. 
Our drawing of this handsome plant was made from a spe- 
cimen kindly sent to us by Robert Barclay, Esq. of Bury-hill, 
where it was raised from seeds received from New Holland, at 
the same time as L. formosa ; it is readily distinguished from 
that species by the hairy tube of the corolla, by the two-lobed 
upper lip, and the broader segments of the lower one; the 
flower is altogether larger, and more inclined to yellow, and 
the plant of rather stronger growth. It is a very desirable plant 
for the Greenhouse, being nearly always in flower, and of free 
growth, thriving well in a mixture of light turfy loam, peat, and 
sand; and young cuttings root freely, planted under bell-glasses 
or hand-glasses, so that it is readily increased.
