believe it to be the produce of P. auraniiacum,  or perhaps  
 P .fulgidum, that had  been fertilized  with some other sort,  
 which we have no means of ascertaining.  It is a free grower,  
 and one of the most abundant bloomers,  thriving well in a  
 mixture of light turfy loam,  peat,  and sand.  Cuttings  of it  
 strike root readily, planted  in pots,  and placed on a shelf in  
 the Greenhouse.
