Devon. It is a hybrid production; and we are informed
by the gardener, Mr. Saunders, that it was
raised from the seed of P. multiflorum ? that had been
fertilized by P. Thynneae. The P. multiflorum, of the
gardens, which we suppose to be the plant referred to,
is very badly named, there being scarcely a plant in
the genus that produces fewer flowers ; it would therefore
be much better to name it P. pauciftorum, or P,
diffusum from its spreading habit.
The present subject is a pretty flowering plant, and
produces abundance of bloom; it is also a hardy
sort, requiring only protection from frost, growing
freely in a rich light soil. Cuttings may be rooted
readily, if planted in pots and placed in a sheltered
situation.
