Heucher asanguinea, Engelm. Coral Bells. Crimson Bells. Fig. 1827. Height 1-1 ½ ft: scapes pilose below, glandular pubescent above: fls. typically bright red, but in horticultural varieties ranging from white through pink and rose to dark crimson. New Mex., Ariz, and N. Mex. Very good pictures are B.M. 6929. Gn. 26:360; also those in Gt. 45, p. 577. I.H. 43, p 334. Mn. 8 p. 75. A.G. 17:201. R.H. 1898, p. 431. R.B. 22, p. 246. S.H. 2:120. G.C. III. 4:125. P.O. 4:35. Var. 41ba (H. alba, Hort.) has pure white fls., and was intro. about 1896 by Haage & Schmidt. Var. splendens, intro. 1898 by the same firm, has dark crimson fls. Var. robusta, or grandiflora, Hort., according to J. B. Keller, is an improvement on the type, the bells being larger and the color brighter. Var. hybrida ("Rosy Morn"), Hort., according to D. M. Andrews, is "more robust than the type, foliage deeper cut and the divisions more pointed: fls. rosy pink." Andrews adds that var. alba comes true from seed. Var. rosea, and var. maxima with dark crimson fls. are advertised. —Under the name H. brizoides, Hort., there is a widely cult, plant with red sts. and pale pink fls. It is chiefly interesting because it is a bigeneric hybrid, it apparently being a cross between Heuehera sanguinea and Tiarella macrophylla. It is a garden hybrid first noticed in 1897. Var. gracillima, Hort., seems merely a more slender form.

The following names are seen in trade catalogues or in Rydberg's monograph: H. convullaria, Hort. About 2 ½ ft., with long- stalked panicles of fls. somewhat like the lily-of-the-valley. There is a pink-fid, form. H. carnea.= (?). H. cristata has been listed in Calif, as "a wonderfully pretty crested variety, originated by Luther Burbank."—H. macrophylla, Hort., not Lodd., may be Tiarella macrophylla.—H. pilosissima, F. Muell. 1-2 ft. high: fls. in close clusters; calyx globular. Calif.—H. purpurascens was advertised 1898.—H. wheeleri, Hort., was found in the 8. some years ago, and resembles a form of H. canadensis with variegated lvs.— H. Zablliana, Hort., has pale pink Ms. on long fl.-stalks.
