hairs. Stigmas 5, reflexed, and fimbriate on the upper side
with purple fringe.
Our drawing of this pretty plant was taken last Summer,
at the Nursery of Mrs. More, in the King’s-road,
Chelsea, where it was raised from seed; it is of hybrid origin,
and apparently intermediate between P. fulgidum and
one of the larger flowered sorts, being nearest related to
P. laxiflorum; but is readily distinguished from that, and
the different varieties of P. ignescens, by the absence of
the dark spot on the upper petals, besides the different distinguishing
character. It appears to grow very freely, and
continues to bloom the greater part of the Summer, succeeding
well in a mixture of light turfy loam, peat, and sand,
requiring but little water in Winter. Cuttings of it root
freely, if planted in pots, and placed on a shelf in the
Greenhouse.
