branched : lower petals oblong, pale blush, strongly
veined underneath. Filaments 10, connected at the base,
7 bearing anthers. Style purple, quite smooth its whole
length. Stigmas 5, dark purple, fimbriate, reflexed or
re volute at the points.
The present pretty plant is of hybrid origin, and
was raised from seed in the choice collection of L.
Weltje, Esq. of Hammersmith, where our drawing was
made last Summer; we do not know from what parents
it has originated, but most probably from some whose
parents were muled for several generations. It is a
handsome free growing plant, and an abundant bloomer,
continuing to flower the greater part of the Summer;
succeeding well in any rich light soil; and young cuttings,
planted in pots in Spring or Summer, and placed
on a shelf in the Greenhouse, will strike root readily.
