Phygelius capensis, Meyer. Cape Fuchsia. Fig. 2931. Two to 3 ft., becoming woody at the base, glabrous, the st. with 4 angles or narrow wings: lvs. ovate to ovate-lanceolate, rounded at the base, firm and veiny, bluntly small-toothed: fls. slender, 2 in. long, somewhat curved, 2-lipped, purple-scarlet, 1—1 together on the ends of straight-spreading peduncles, drooping. Cape of Good Hope.—A fine subshrub blooming in summer and hardy in protected places as far north as Philadelphia. In the N. it is known as a greenhouse plant. It is excellent for planting out, enduring heat and dry weather as well as geraniums, or even better. It is prop, by seeds and also by cuttings. The cuttings may be taken from the late autumn shoots of outdoor plants. Phygelius is a showy plant, deserving to be better known.
