Jacobinia pohliana, Benth. & Hook. (Cyrtanthera Pohliana, Nees). Much like J. magnifica, but more robust and leafy: lvs. ovate-acuminate and rounded or nearly or quite cordate at the base, more glabrous, often purple- tinged: fls. bright crimson: bracts short-acute, or in one form obtuse. Brazil. G. 27:677. F.S.R. 3, p. 49. var. velutina, Hort. (J. velutina and Justicia velutina, Hort. Cyrtanthera Pohliana var. velutina, Nees). Dwarf: bracts obtuse: lvs. villous- pubescent on both surfaces: fls. 2 in. long, rose-color. Brazil. Gng. 7:212; 16:24. A.F. 14:998. A worthy plant of comparatively recent intro. in commerce. It is an excellent pot subject and has been considerably advertised as the "new dwarf Justicia velutina." A profuse and continuous bloomer. Cultural remarks under J, carnea apply also to this.
