Cheiranthus kewensis, Hort., is valuable as a winter-blooming greenhouse plant, prized for its fragrance and its dark-colored fls. In 1897 at Kew a cross was made between C. mutabilis of the Canary Isls. and a yellow wallflower, the cross being known as C. hybridus; and this in turn was crossed with a red wallflower, producing the plant known as C. kewensis. It has the bushy character of C. mutabilis; racemes upright; fls. about 1 in. across, brown in bud, or expanding brownish orange inside and reddish brown outside, all turning pale purple with age. Prop. by cuttings. G.C. III. 35:123. Gn. 65, p. 89. CH
