Showy scarlet-flowered Siphocampylos. long, curved; the tube constricted at the base, as far as the setting on of the stamens, thence the tube gradually enlarges and again becomes contracted at the mouth; limb scarcely two-lipped, of five nearly equal, oblong-ovate, acute, incurved segments.

Generic Character (Vide supra, TAB. 4105.)

SIPHOCAMPYLOS coccineus; suffruticosus glaber elatus, foliis ovatis acutis brevi- petiolatis (nunc sublobatis) duplicato-serratis, pedunculis folio longioribus axillaribus solitariis unifloris, flore nutante, ovario oblongo-turbinato sulcato laciniis calycinis lanceolatis patentibus serratis breviore, corollæ tubo basi (infra filamentorum insertionem) angustato demum sensim dilatato curvato ore contracto, limbi vix bilabiati laciniis oblongo-ovatis acutiusculis sub- æqualibus incurvis. Perhaps the most beautiful of this Genus which has yet been introduced to our stoves, and sent from the Organ Mountains, Brazil, by Mr. William Lobb, one of the botanical collectors of Mr. Veitch, in whose Nursery at Exeter it first showed its large and scarlet flowers, in June 1845. Plants were exhibited at the Chiswick Exhibition in July, which gained the same prize there, as well as in the Regent's Park Garden, as had been awarded to the Fuchsia before described (TAB. 4174). It is treated as a stove plant, and, cultivated by Mr. Veitch, is not sparing of blossoms.

Botanical Description Suffruticose in the lower part of the plant only, erect,

branched, glabrous. Leaves petiolate, alternate, broadly ovate, acute, scarcely acuminate, occasionally slightly lobed, doubly den- tato-serrate, rather strongly nerved, glabrous; petiole rather short, grooved above. Peduncles axillary, solitary, one-flowered, longer than the leaves, erect, but curved at the top, so that the flower is gracefully pendent. Ovary turbinate, deeply sulcate. Segments of the calyx lanceolate, serrated, moderately patent, longer than the tube or ovary. Corolla bright scarlet, two inches and more AUGUST 1ST, 1845.
