. Handbook of hardy trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants ... Based on the French work of Messrs. Decaisne and Naudin ...entitled 'Manuel de l'amateur des jardins,' and including the original woodcuts by Riocreux and Leblanc. Plants, Ornamental. Ericacece—A zah 'a. 285 2. A. calendulacea.— A. North American species of about the same stature. Leaves obovate-oblong, hairy. Calyx-lobes oblong. Tube of the corolla shorter than the lobes, hairy. Flowers large, numerous, orange-coloured. 3. A. niuUfldra.—Near the last in characters, and from the same regions. Corolla-tube glandular, scarcely exceeding the broad lobes. The flowers vary from pink to deep purple. Both flower in Spring. A. viecbsa and A. arhoHsceTis, North American species, pro- duce the flowers before the leaves, the former having a long tube to the corolla, and the latter being quite smooth in all its parts. The foregoing forms, in conjunction with A. viscosa and A. speciosa, and perhaps some other species or wild varieties what- ever they may be, have given birth to the numerous varietiet now in cultivation, partially from natural variation and partially by intercrossing. In colour they range from white through every shade of yellow, orange, and red to crimson, and many uncommon intermediate tints. There are also hybrid forms between some of these and the true Ehododendrons,.
