Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Lotus bertholetii, Masf. (L. peliorhyncus, Hook. L. pelyorensis, Hort.). Coral Gem. Small, much-branched, slender bush, with a silvery hue: lfts. whorled, 8-9 lines long: fls. 1 ½ in. long, in loose clusters of about 20 toward the end of the branches, short-pedicelled, scarlet or crimson fading to orange; standard recurved like a horn; keel acuminate, longer than the wings. Cape Verde, Canaries. B.M. 6733. R.H. 1895:308; 1914, p. 185. G. 25:255. G.L. 27:169.—Peliorhyncus means "bruised or discolored nose." This name, however, is apparently more recent than L. Bertholetii. Grown chiefly in hanging-baskets; in S. Calif, it is much used for sunny rockeries. Prop. by division or cuttings. The odd long-pointed fls. make this an interesting and showy species. Var. atrococcineus, Hort., is an easily grown greenhouse plant for baskets, differing from the species in its darker-colored glossy deep scarlet black- spotted fls.
