Strong forking herb or subshrub, blooming when 1 or 2 ft. high, but becoming several feet high if allowed to grow: sts. 4-angled: lvs. opposite, lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate to oval-oblong, narrow or broad at base, attenuate to apex, wavy-margined, veiny, downy, sometimes a foot long: fls. rose-purple (varying to flesh-colored), ascending, arched at the top and the lower lip recurving, borne in dense terminal spike-like thyrses. Brazil.--A handsome old plant, of comparatively easy cult, in a conservatory temperature. Cuttings made in Feb. or March should bloom early the following winter. Young plants are usually most satisfactory, the old ones being kept over only for cutting stock. Give rich soil, and plenty of water in the growing season. This plant is said to have been distributed as Whitfieldia lateritia. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
