This fine variety is a hybrid offspring between C. crenatiflora
and atrosanguinea, and was raised by my brother, Mr.
P . N. Don, at Knypersley Hall, Staffordshire, the seat of
James Bateman, Esq. My brother states it to be of more
robust growth than crenatiflora, with shorter and rounder
flowers. He finds it to grow well in a mixture of leaf mould
and sand, and that, like the rest of the genus, it loves the
shade.
I t can only be increased by slips. The generic name is
explained at fol. 220. D. Don.
