teeth, but sometimes entire. Stamens 5, distinct, about half
the length of the style: filaments clothed with a short woolly
down. Style purple, glossy, clothed about the middle with
glandular hairs. Stigma enclosed betwixt a two-lipped Indu-
sium ; one lip bearded with long hairs, the other smooth. Ovarium
below the calyx, 5-angular, furrowed between the angles,
dark purple, smooth, at first erect, afterwards a little recurved
with the weight of the flower.
Our drawing of this handsome plant was made from a specimen
kindly sent to us by Robert Barclay, Esq. of Bury-hill,
where it was raised from seeds received from New Holland, at
the same time as L.formosa; it is readily distinguished from
that species by the hairy tube of the corolla, by the two-lobed
upper lip, and the broader segments of the lower one; the
flower is altogether larger, and more inclined to yellow, and
the plant of rather stronger growth. It is a very desirable plant
for the Greenhouse, being nearly always in flower, and of free
growth, thriving well in a mixture of light turfy loam, peat, and
sand • and young cuttings root freely, planted under bell-glasses
or hand-glasses, so that it is readily increased.
