The plant from which our drawing was made, was communicated
to us by Mrs. S. Knipe, of Clay-hill, Epsom,
Surry, who raised it from seed, and in compliment to whom
we have named it. Its nearest relatives are P. rugosum,
and P. calycinum, and we expect it has been produced between
the latter and one of the striped-flowered sorts; it
makes a very pleasing variety on account of its singular
colour, and will therefore be a desirable plant, thriving well
in any rich light soil, and is of free growth, but not of the
largest size. Young cuttings will strike root freely, if planted
in pots, and placed in a shady part of the Greenhouse.
