veined from the base underneath,the margins very slightly
crenulate. Filaments 10, connected at the base, 7 bearing
anthers; pollen orange-coloured. Style very hairy
all its length, pale purple. Stigmas 5, purple, revolute
at the points.
The present plant is also a hybrid production, and
appears to be intermediate between P. platypetalon, and
one of the large white sorts, but what particular one is
not readily ascertained. Our drawing was made from
a plant sent to us from the Nursery of-Messrs. Young,
at Epsom, who inform us that they received it from M r.
Calvert, who brought it from France; it makes a handsome
bushy plant, and produces an abundance of its
large pure white flowers all the Summer, thriving well
in any rich light soil; and young cuttings, planted in
pots, and placed in a shady situation, will root readily.
