quite smooth upwards. Stigmas 5, reddish and revolute.
Our drawing was taken from a fine flowering specimen
communicated to us by Sir R. C. Hoare, from
his magnificent and extensive collection. We believe
it to be a mule production, but it is quite impossible
to trace its origin. It is a very pretty plant and an
abundant bloomer, and will thrive well in a mixture of
turfy loam and peat, or any light vegetable mould;
and cuttings soon strike root planted under handglasses,
or in pots placed in a shady situation.
