This fine plant is a hybrid production, and was raised
from seed at the Nursery of Mr. Dennis, where our drawing
was made last Summer; it is readily distinguished from
its nearest relatives, by the numerous branching veins of its
flowers. We are not certain from what it was produced, but
it must have been from one of the strong growing sorts with
one of the red ones. It will be a very desirable plant, as its
flowers are produced in a sort of panicle similar to P. Brmghtoniee, so that it will, with proper management, be
covered with flowers all the Summer: to secure this the
flowering branches must be cut off- as soon as they have done
flowering, the plant will then produce new shoots, which will
continue to bloom in succession. It will thrive well in a mixture
of light turfy loam, peat, and sand, or any other light
sandy soil; and young cuttings soon strike root if planted
in pots in the same sort of soil, and placed on a shelf in the
Greenhouse.
