The present beautiful plant is of hybrid origin, and was
raised at the Nursery of Mr. W. Russell, at Battersea, last
Spring, from a seed of P. latilobum, that appears to have
been fertilized by one nearly related to P. Barringtonii, as
it is nearly intermediate between them. It is of free strong
upright growth, and will be a valuable acquisition to our
collections, thriving well in any rich light soil; and young
cuttings, planted in pots in the same sort of soil, will strike
root readily, if placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse.
Our drawing was made from a plant sent to us in full
bloom from the Nursery of Mr. Russell, in October last.
