This variety flowered, and was probably introduced into the garden of the late Dr.

PITCAIRN, about 1782; but from whence it came we are not now able to ascertain; (a) was found by JACQUIN near Carthagena in the Ifland of Tierra Bomba, growing plentifully on the fea-fhore: (3) we have never found figured in any work, but there are feveral good figures of (a), as may be feen by the above synonymy.

Requires to be kept in a ftove, where it will flower twice a year.

It is to be obferved that the crown bears the fame proportion to the segments in both varieties, although they differ fo much in the length of the tube.

The specific character contains all the defcription neceffary to diftinguish it from the species at present known to us; an entirely new one of which has lately flowered at Kew, brought from Cayenne; it has broad gloffy leaves, exceeding long flowers, and the fmalleft crown of any we ever yet have feen.
