The Orange-coloured Azalea.
Azalea calendulacea, Mich. Flor. Amer. vol. i. p. 151. Pursh, Fl. Amer. Sept. vol. i. p. 151.—Pentandria Monogynia, Linn.
Leaves oblong or lanceolate, downy on both sides; flowers large, not viscous, of a deep orange colour, the hairy tube of the corolla shorter than its segments. It is a native of Georgia. If I am not mistaken, none of the objects represented in this plate have ever been figured before. The flowers and the butterflies are from the pencil of Miss Martin.
