seven bearing anthers. Style red, very hairy. Stigmas
5, twisted and reflexed.
The plant from which our drawing was taken was
•sent to us some time since by Sir R. C. Hoare, who
informed us that he raised it from seed. We believe
that Mr. Davey also received it from him about the
same time, although he has been selling it as a production
of his own, under the name of Lady Clinton.
We certainly do not believe that it was ever produced
from seeds at Mr. Davey’s, as his Pelargoniums are all
of such a different tribe, that we should never expect
to see any thing like the present produced from them.;
and, as we always wish to give the credit of the raising
a new plant to the person who really produced it,
that is the reason of our mentioning it here.
The present subject is a very handsome plant, and
continues in bloom the greater part of the year. It is
of hybrid origin, but we cannot trace its parents with
any certainty; one of them is likely to be P. concinnum,
the other we can at present have no guess at. It
thrives well with us in a mixture of sandy loam and
peat; and cuttings strike root freely, if planted in
pots and placed on a shelf in the greenhouse.
