lines, slightly branched: lower petals pale blush, strongly
veined with light veins. Filaments 10, connected at the
base, 7 bearing anthers. Style red, not hairy, but smooth
its whole length. Stigmas 5, very long, light purple, slightly
fimbriate, the points revolute.
The present fine plant is a hybrid production, and was
raised from seed at the Nursery of Mr. W. Russell, at Battersea,
last Spring, and flowered the following Autumn,
when our drawing was made. It appears to be intermediate
between P. grandidentatum and one of the large red
flowered sorts | as it is of free growth, and flowers so soon,
and so abundantly, it will be a very desirable plant, thriving
well in a rich light soil; and young cuttings, planted
in pots, and placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse, will soon strike root.
