Incarvillea delavayi, Bur. & Franch. Fig. 1955. Lvs. few, radical; lfts. 4-5 in. long, not quite opposite: stamens included. B.M.7462. Gn. 54:430; 60, p. 229; 72, p. 421. G. 23:157. Gn.W. 15:713. G.W. 15, p. 409. R.H. 1893:544. J.H. III. 30:449. Gt. 43:1398. Mn. 3, p. 26. G.C. III. 26:123. G.M. 38:306.—I. delavayi is a hardy plant with handsome pinnate foliage, each lf. being 1 ft. long, with as many as 15-20 dentate segms.: scape 1-2 ft. high, bearing 2-12 large trumpet-shaped rosy purple fls., each 2-3 in. long and as much wide. These fls. are probably equal in decorative value to many of the bignonias cherished in greenhouses. In size and beauty they rank with those of catalpa, bignonia and tecoma, of the same family. The tube is yellow inside and out, and the 2 upper lobes are smaller than the 3 lower ones. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
