Achimenes atrosanguinea

Journal Royal Horticultural Society, 1848

This is a beautiful species, with the habit of A. Skinneri, but with slender flowers nearly an inch and a half long, with a yellow tube spotted with dull purple, and a vivid scarlet limb as bright as that of Mimulus cardinalis.

It is perfectly distinct from all hitherto described, and ranks among the handsomest.
