A Showy Alpine Plant from Western China (Incarvillea grandi- FLORA BREVIPES SPRAGUE; S. P. I. NO. 55934) For many years the typical form of this relative of our trumpet vine has been known to horti-culturists, but the variety here shown was discovered only a few years ago in western China,whence it was sent to Europe. It is a rather small perennial, a foot or two in height, anddiffers from the type in having large brilliant-red flowers with canary-yellow markings inthe throat, as well as in having more compact flower clusters. The plant illustrated wasgrowing in pure limestone drift on the lower slopes of the Likiang Snow Range, Yunnan,China, at an altitude of 10,500 feet. (Photographed by J. F.
