coloured. Germm villous. Style red, hairy at the
base and smooth upwards. Stigmas 5, red, reflexed.
Our drawing of this plant was taken at the Nursery
of Messrs. Colvill, where it has been cultivated for
some time. We have not ascertained its origin, but
suspect it to be a hybrid production. It makes a
pleasing variety from its handsome marked flowers : it
also keeps dwarf and bushy, which may be considered
an advantage, as there are so many strong-growing
sorts. It does not begin flowering in spring so soon
as some others, but it makes up for that in continuing
to flower till late in autumn. A mixture of turfy loam
and peat, or any light vegetable mould, will suit it
very well, and cuttings soon strike root if planted in
a sheltered situation.
