Chile. St. naturally prostrate.—T. Leichtiinii, Hort. Garden hybrid between T. polyphyllum and T. leptophyllum (see suppl. list), raised by Max Leichtlin, of Baden-Baden. More closely approaching the former, but with larger lvs., more numerous and more vivid-colored fls. and said to be more hardy. CH
