A native of Chile, whence it was brought to the Horti- 
cultural Society by Mr. James M‘Rae, in 1826. By him 
it was found at Cumbre, a pass in the Andes, flowering in 
November 1825. It is a greenhouse herbaceous plant, 
with a pretty appearance, and flowers with us in May. 
Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Horticultural 
Society, in 1827. 
* From édiv, a gland, and Selk, hair, in allusion to the intermixture of 
hairs and glands for which the plant is remarkable.
