It is of strong, free growth, with large, dark green leaves, from each axil of which rope-like spikes, from one to two feet long and nearly one inch thick, of velvety crimson flowers, are gracefully suspended, as shown in our illustration. This conveys but a faint idea of the beauty and distinct warm coloring of this splendid acquisition, but the remarkable floriferousness and the great size of the spikes of flowers (com- pared to the plant) are fairly well shown The plant is in flower the year round, and is as easily grown as a Coleus, simply re- quiring a warm temperature to develop its full beauty.
