times all bearing perfect anthers. Pollen orange-coloured.
Style short, smooth. Stigmas 5, reflexed.
We first received this plant from Robert Henry
Jenkinson, Esq. who we believe raised it from seed.
It differs from most others in its number of perfect
stamens: we have often found all ten perfect, and frequently
eight and nine. We suspect it is of hybrid
origin, or it may be a genuine species. It is a very
desirable plant amongst others, as its colour is different
from most, being of a light waxy appearance.
It is of easy culture, requiring a rich light soil, or a
mixture of loam and peat will suit it very well, watering
it but sparingly in winter, as it is of a succulent
habit. Cuttings soon strike root, if planted in pots
and placed in a sheltered situation.
