Darwinia (Dr. Erasmus Darwin, an English nature-student). Myrtaceae. About 40 Australian evergreen shrubs, a very few of which are sometimes grown for the colored flower-like campanulate involucres that hold their condition 3-5 months; not in the American trade. Lvs. few and usually heath-like: fls. small, inclosed in petal-like bracts at the summit of the branches; calyx-lobes 5; petals 5; stamens 10, alternating with staminodia; ovary 1-celled, the fr. 1-seeded. The darwinias prop. from well-ripened tips of side shoots taken in early autumn or in spring. They require greenhouse or intermediate temperatures. D. Hookeriana, Benth. (Genetyllis fuchsioides, Hort.). Lvs. linear-oblong, ½ in. long, scattered: sts. red: inner bracts of hanging involucre 1 in. long, bright red, the outer ones shorter and greenish and passing into the st.-lvs.: fls. small, greenish white, usually about 6 in each involucre. B.M. 4860 (as Genetyllis macrostegia). D. macrostegia, Benth. Lvs. elliptic-oblong, ¾ in. or less long, scattered: inner bracts 1½ in. long, creamy white with red splashes and stripes, the outer ones shorter and more colored, the lowest ones passing into the foliage. B.M. 4858 (as Genetyllis tulipifera).

Darwinia (Dr. Erasmus Darwin, an English nature-student). Myrtaceae. About 40 Australian evergreen shrubs, a very few of which are sometimes grown for the colored flower-like campanulate involucres that hold their condition 3-5 months; not in the American trade. Lvs. few and usually heath-like: fls. small, inclosed in petal-like bracts at the summit of the branches; calyx-lobes 5; petals 5; stamens 10, alternating with staminodia; ovary 1-celled, the fr. 1-seeded. The darwinias prop. from well-ripened tips of side shoots taken in early autumn or in spring. They require greenhouse or intermediate temperatures. D. Hookeriana, Benth. (Genetyllis fuchsioides, Hort.). Lvs. linear-oblong, ½ in. long, scattered: sts. red: inner bracts of hanging involucre 1 in. long, bright red, the outer ones shorter and greenish and passing into the st.-lvs.: fls. small, greenish white, usually about 6 in each involucre. B.M. 4860 (as Genetyllis macrostegia). D. macrostegia, Benth. Lvs. elliptic-oblong, ¾ in. or less long, scattered: inner bracts 1½ in. long, creamy white with red splashes and stripes, the outer ones shorter and more colored, the lowest ones passing into the foliage. B.M. 4858 (as Genetyllis tulipifera). CH
