tliat has yet been produced. It was raised the year before
last at the Nursery of Mr. Oolvill, from a seed of
P. involucratum, ex. maximum, that had been fertilized
with the pollen of P. ignescens. It is as near as possible
intermediate between the two, the flowers being
about the size of the former with the colour of the
latter, except being a little lighter. The plant is of
tolerably strong growth, and thrives well in a mixture
of turfy loam, peat, and sand. Cuttings strike root
freely, planted in pots and placed on a shelf in the
greenhouse.
