Our drawing of this neat little plant was made this
Summer at the Nursery of Messrs. Allen and Rogers, of
Battersea, and also of the King’s Road, Chelsea, who
inform us that they had purchased it of Mr. Davey, who,
they believe, raised it from seed; it is without doubt a
hybrid production, between two of the small growing
sorts, but is readily distinguished from all others with
which we are acquainted, by its two upper petals having
the appearance of being cut away on their inner sides
towards the base. It is a very neat little ornamental
plant, taking very little room, and producing abundance of
blossoms all the Summer. Cuttings of it root readily,
planted in pots, in a rich light soil, and placed in a sheltered
situation.
