seated on small tubercles or warts, margins and be- 

 tween the nerves membranaceous and tomentose. Pe- 

 tals 5, a little longer than the calyx, broader than long, 

 rounded, very much imbricate, of a dark copper co- 

 lour, with a darker mark at the base. Stamens from 

 50 to 60 : filaments smooth, bright yellow, longer than 

 the style. Germen tomentose. Style smooth, a little 

 bent, and very slender at the base, thickening upwards. 

 Stigma capitate, papillose. 



Our drawing of this plant was made at the Nursery 

 of Mr. J. Lee, at Hammersmith, last Summer ; it is- 

 most probably a hybrid production, as its leaves are 

 very frequently variegated ; it makes a very pretty 

 plant for the adorning of rock-work, where it will 

 flower the greater part of the Summer ; or it will thrive 

 well in small pots, in a mixture of light sandy loam 

 and peat, when it will require a little protection in 

 Winter, either in frames, or to be covered with a mat 

 in frosty weather. Cuttings root freely, planted under 

 hand-glasses, in Autumn.
