phur colour, with a yellow mark near the base. Stamens
about 60, about the length of the style : filaments
very slender, smooth, pale yellow; pollen golden yellow.
Germen downy. Style smooth and bent a little near
the base, thickening upwards. Stigma capitate, slightly
3-lobed, papillose.
The present plant is nearly related to H. sulphureum,
but differs sufficiently in habit, andTin its woolly calyx,
the calyx of H. sulphureum being glossy, and nearly
smooth. The present is a very proper plant for adorning
rock-work, or to grow in small pots, and will stand
the severity of our Winters in the open air without protection,
Continuing in bloom the greater part of the Summer
; it succeeds well in a light sandy soil, or a mixture
of sandy loam and peat will suit it very well.
Young cuttings, planted under hand-glasses, in Autumn,
strike root immediately.
Our drawing: was made from a plant at the Nursery
of Mr. Colvill, King’s-road, Chelsea.
