Calceolaria alba, Ruiz & Pav. Shrubby, erect, branched, the branches opposite: Ivs. linear, toothed above, with fascicles of fls. in axils: fls. small, white, of 2 very unequal lips, the upper one being very small, the throat closed. Chile. B.M.4157. G.C.III.22:141. Gn. 51:60; 75, p. 6. J.H. III.61:419.—A most beautiful species in England when planted out in a soil rich in humus, but should be shaded from hot sun. The plant dislikes pot culture. This species has recently been used by the hybridist in order to secure a race with white fls. The new hybrid C. Veitchii is likely to prove a great aquisition to gardens, and is partly derived from this species. CH
