umbellis paucifloris subramosis longé pedunculatis. 
Caulis suffruticosus, ascendens, pedalis v. sesquipedalis, vix ramosus, 
glaber, pilosus. Folia utringue pubescentia, rugosa, denticulata, nullo modo 
glutinosa, superiora subsessilia. Flores aurantiact, in paniculis umbelle-

The plant now represented belongs to a tribe of Calceo- 
larias, the species of which are extremely difficult to 
distinguish from each other. It is very different from any 
in our Gardens, and we believe also from any that have 
been described from dried specimens. In character it 
most nearly approaches C. integrifolia; but it is distinct 
from that. 
Cultivated in the open border, in which it succeeds 
perfectly during the summer ; it does not grow more than 
a foot, or at the utmost a foot and half high, forming a 
neat tuft, remarkable for its deep red stems and bright 
deep yellow flowers, 
Our drawing was made in August last, in the Garden of 
the Horticultural Society, where it had been raised, in 
1826, from seeds collected by Mr. James M‘Rae upon 
clayey banks in the Cordilleras.
