broadly lanceolate, or oblong. Nectariferous tube about
half the length of the calyx, much flattened on each
side, and gibbous at the base. Petals 5, of a pale salmon
colour; the two upper ones broadly wedge-shaped, with
a darker spot in the centre, strongly veined at the back,
the veins much branched; lower ones narrower, also
ments wedge-shaped, and strongly veined at the back. Fila
10, connected at the base, very often the whole
producing anthers, but they are generally without pollen.
Style pale purple, smooth throughout, or sometimes
a few hairs at the base. Stigmas 5, bright purple, fimrberfilaetxee
odn. the upper side, spreading, or the points a little
This is also a hybrid production, and was raised from
seed at the Nursery of Mr. Dennis. From its appearance,
we suspect it to be the produce of P. glutinosum,
or P . viscosissimum, that has been fertilized by the pollen
of one of the red-flowered sorts; and from its distinct
habit and appearance, it is well worth cultivating amongst
those of the larger flowering and more splendid sorts;
it thrives well in any rich light soil; and young cuttings,
planted in pots, and placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse,
will strike root readily.
Our drawing was made from a plant at the Nursery
of Mr. Dennis, last Summer.
