This genus contains a tender shrub with large clusters of scarlet-orange fls. much prized in Fla., and recently urged for northern conservatories under the name of "Scarlet ; About 13 species of tropical and subtropical American shrubs, glabrous or pubes- cent: Its. opposite or in whorls of 3-4, petioled, ovate- oblong, acute at both ends: Hs. in terminal, 2-3-forking cymes, yellow, reddish or scarlet, with pedicels short or none; corolla tubular or almost bell-shaped, about 5-ribbed ; limb with 5 short lobes ; stamens 5 : ovary 5-celled: berries small, ovoid, 5-lobed, many-seeded. Hoffmania is distinguished by its 2-3-celled berry. Samelia patens, a native of the West Indies and S. Florida, along the coast, a beautiful and almost unknown plant, should become a favorite in greenhouse culture. The Ivs. have a purplish hue at some seasons of the year, and the fls. are of a bright orange-red color. In Florida it must surely become a favorite for open-air planting, as it is there rarely killed down by frost, and when it is it sprouts up readily from the root, and blooms the following summer. It is in bloom for many months, and without doubt could be forced at any season. With age it becomes a woody shrub, 5-12 ft. in height. The fls. are succeeded by handsome black berries, which are retained a long while. A. Fls. scarlet-orange: herries ovo
