Brunfelsia calycina, Benth. (Franciscea calycina, Hook. F. pauciflora, Benth. F. confertiflora, Moore. Besleria inodbra, Vellozi). Habit erect or spreading, branching freely from the base upwards: Lvs. shortly petiolate, numerous, glabrous or nearly so, 3-4 in. long, elliptic or elliptic-ovate, acute, rich dark livid green above, pale green below: fls. rich dark purple in dense terminal or axillary cymes; pedicels an inch long; limb salver- shaped, with slightly wavy margins; calyx ¾-l in. long, tubular, light green. Brazil. B.M. 4583. —Extremely variable in the size of the fls. and Lvs. Some of the most distinct forms have been described as species by various botanists. All have fls. of some shade of purple and are here included as varieties. The following are well-marked forms in cult.:

Var. macrantha (B. macrantha, Lem. B. grandiflora, Don. B. Lindeniana, Nichols.). Fig. 671. A magnificent form of strong and vigorous habit, with rich dark green Lvs. often as much as 8 in. long and 2½ in. broad, glabrous or nearly so in all parts, except the upper part of the corolla-tube: fls. in dense axillary or terminal cymes in the axils of all the upper Lvs., rich deep purple in color, with prominent ring of lavender- blue color surrounding the white eye at the mouth of the tube; calyx, 1 in. long, bright green; corolla 2½-3 in. diam.—One of the finest and most floriferous shrubs for a warm greenhouse or subtropical country, of extremely easy cult., and readily trained into fine specimens. Readily conforms to pot culture. Should be kept slightly on the dry side during the winter, but not enough to cause it to lose the Lvs.
