Dalechampia Roezliana was described by Hooker in 1867 as one of the noblest plants introduced for many years, comparable with the bougainvilleas and surpassing them in size of bracts and brilliancy of color. It is not so fine a florists' plant as the poinsettia, but is worth trial in the finer conservatories. It requires well- drained sandy, peat soil, and is propagated by cuttings.

Dalechampia Roezliana, Muell. Arg. (var. rosea, Authors). Erect shrub, 3-4 ft. high, much branched, leafy: Lvs. 6 in. long, sessile, obovate-oblanceolate, acuminate, entire, or with coarse, obtuse teeth above the middle, narrowed to a small cordate base: bracts 2-2½ in. long, broadly cordate, nearly sessile, toothed, membranaceous, distinctly nerved, rose-red, other smaller bracts among the small yellow fls.; stamens united. Mex. B.M. 5640. H.F. II. 11:234, pi. 8. Gt. 16:532. F.W. 1867, p. 318. F.M. 7:373, 374. F.S. 16:1701-2. G.C. 1867:236, desc. Var. alba, Hort., has white bracts.          J. B.S. Norton.
