West Indies ; South Florida, along the coast. We have faith that this beau- tiful and almost unknown plant will become a favorite in greenhouse culture, where it de- serves a prominent place. The leaves have a purplish hue at some seasons of the year, and the flowers are of a bright orange-red color.
