it much resembles the T. tricolorum figured at TAB. 270. of
the first series of this work, but it is altogether a more delicate
plant, and the shortness of the spur, and lobed petals,
essentially distinguish it from that species. The mode of
culture pursued in regard to that species will be found equally
suitable to the present, as they are similar in habit and are
natives of the same locality.
We are indebted to Mr. Knight of the Exotic Nursery,
King’s Road, Chelsea, for the specimen represented in our
plate. The plant had been received by him in March, 1835,
from Capt. Seymour, by whom it was gathered near Valparaiso.
It flowered in June last.
The generic name is already explained at fol. 134.
