P. racemosa (racemose).* fl. of a deep red or scarlet colour ; 

 pedicels twin, forming terminal, pendulous racemes ; in conse- 

 quence of the upper leaves becoming abortive. March to October.

 See Fig. 36. (B. M. 2001 ; B. R. 285.) SYN. P. princeps (L. B. C. 84). 

 P. Madonna is said to be a cross between P. racemosa and

 P. racemosa and P. Raddiana.
