white, with three or four purple lines from the base, which
extend about half-way up the petals. Filaments 10, connected
at the base, seven bearing anthers: pollen orange-
coloured. Style dark purple, smooth, or with one or two
hairs near the base. Stigmas 5, dark purple, spreading, the
points reflexed or revolute.
Our drawing of this fine plant was made in October
last, in the collection of the Earl of Liverpool, at Coombe-
w'ood, where it was raised from seed by Mr. Smith; it is a
hybrid production, and appears to be intermediate between
P. macranthon and one of the smaller growing sorts, as the
plant is not of very strong growth, but its branches spread
considerably, the flowers are very large, and make a fine
appearance when in full bloom. It succeeds well in any
rich light soil, and young cuttings root freely, if planted in
the same sort of sdil, and placed in a sheltered situation.
We have named it in compliment to Mr. William
Prince, Nurseryman at Flushing, Long-Island, near New-
York, in North America, who possesses one of the best
collections of plants and trees in that country, and exports
a great number to Europe annually.
