Ruellia macrantha, Mart. It forms a compact, many-stemmed shrub, 1-6 ft. high, with ovate-lanceolate lvs. 4-6 in. long: fls. large, bell-shaped, with tubular base, purplish rose with purple veins, solitary in lf.- axils. Brazil. B.M. 7872. G.C. III. 17:45; 30:467; 43:27. R.H. 1881:410. Gn.W. 5:341; 10:21. Gt. 61, p. 534. G.W. 2, p. 297.—G. W. Oliver says in his "Plant Culture" that R. macrantha is of easy cult. and is one of the best greenhouse flowering plants for amateurs. Cuttings rooted in Sept. furnish fair-sized flowering plants in Jan. These, if desired, may be planted out in late spring, when they will have formed large specimens, which may be lifted and potted.
