at the base, 7 bearing anthers, which are generally imperfect.
Style flesh coloured, smooth, and naked. Stigmas 5,
purple and revolute, fimbriate on the upper side.
For the opportunity of giving a figure of this fine plant,
we are obliged to Messrs. Charles and James Young, of
Epsom, at whose Nursery it was raised from seed; it is a
hybrid production, and appears to be intermediate between
a plant nearly related to P. macranthon, and known by the
name of the Waverley Geranium in the collections about
London, and P. ignescens, or some sort nearly related; it
makes a fine appearance when in full bloom, by its numerous
large flowers, which are produced all the Summer, and
till late in Autumn; a mixture of light sandy loam and
peat is the best soil for it, and cuttings will soon strike root
if planted in pots in the same sort of soil, and placed on a
shelf in the Greenhouse.
