Glabrous, upright sub-shrub: Lvs. ovate-oblong, acuminate, spreading, short-stalked, sinuate-toothed: fls. lilac, 2 in. long, with a long tube below the flaring throat, the spreading segms. ovate-obtuse, disposed on one side of a raceme 5-8 in. long. S. Afr. B.M. 5797.—A beautiful plant, rarely seen, and thought to be difficult to manage; but it seems to flower readily in fall in our climate, if rested during the previous winter and brought on in the summer. Prop, by cuttings of firm wood in spring or summer. Young plants in small pots often bloom well.
