feet. Style purple, hairy all over. Stigmas 5, purple,
reflexed.
The present plant differs considerably from all others
to which it is related by its broad obovate petals, which are
more like P. elegans than any other with which we are
acquainted, though the plant is not in the least related to
that species; it is of hybrid origin, but we cannot say from
what sorts it has been produced; it is very hardy, and of
free growth, and only requires protection from frost in
Winter, thriving well in any rich light soil. Young cuttings
root readily, placed in a shady situation.
Our drawing was taken from a plant sent to us by Mr.
Dennis, from his Nursery at Chelsea, in May last.
