 HIBISCUS Cameroni-fulgens. 



Garden Variety. 



A specimen of this fine plant was sent us in August 1843, 

 by Messrs. Rollissons, of Tooting, who state that it is a 

 hybrid, between Hibiscus Cameroni and H. fulgens. H. Came- 

 roni is a Madagascar shrub, with heartshaped 5-lobed leaves, 

 buff flowers, with five deep crimson spots in the eye, and a 

 very small involucre ; H. fulgens is a garden name for a 

 variety of H. Rosa Sinensis. 



The produce of these two is the very handsome variety 

 now figured, which, as might have been anticipated, proves 

 worthy of so beautiful a parentage. 



We presume it to be a stove shrub.
