anthers: pollen orange-coloured. Style pale red, very
hairy nearly all its length. Stigmas 5, short, dark purple,
the points reflexed.
Our drawing of this handsome flowering plant, was
taken from a fine specimen sent to us from the collection
of Messrs. Chandler, of the Vauxhall Nursery, Wandsworth
Road; where it was raised from seed: it is of
hybrid origin, and is somewhat related to P . Youngii
and P . Jenkinsoni, but what its real parents were, we
have not ascertained; it is certainly a very desirable
plant, as it forms a handsome upright bush, and produces
an abundance of its lively flowers, continuing in
bloom most part of the Summer, succeeding well in
any rich light soil, and is readily increased by cuttings,
which, if planted in pots in a young state, and placed on
a shelf in the Greenhouse, will soon strike root.
