Stigmas 5, long and spreading, dark purple, the points
more or less reflexed.
Our drawing of this plant was made last Summer,
from one in full bloom, sent to us from the Nursery of
Mr. Dennis, where it was raised from seed; it is of free
growth, and continues to bloom all the Summer, and
till late in Autumn, thriving well in any rich light soil,
and only requiring to be protected from the frost in Winter.
We are not certain what were its parents, but we
should suspect it to have been one of the large growing
sorts, and one of the smaller-leaved ones, as it is related
to both of those tribes; it makes a very handsome appearance
when covered with its numerous flowers, which
are produced in succession. Young cuttings, planted in
pots, and placed in a sheltered shady situation, will soon
strike root; and if planted in Spring, will make flowering
plants for the same season.
