This plant, which appears nothing more than a smooth- 

 fruited variety of P. californicus, was raised in the Botanic 

 Garden, Birmingham, from Russian seeds. It grows vigorously, 

 and both it and P. californicus have ripened abundance of seeds.

Sprengel considers this species to belong to Pavonm, and, 

 consequently, has united Lebretonm to that genus. A plant of 

 it received from the Botanic Garden, Berlin, flowered freely in 

 the stove in the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, in July, 1837 ; " but 

 though its blossoms are of considerable size, and not destitute of 

 beauty, the plant will probably never be a favourite in cultivation, 

 because its flowers are only expanded during the forenoon, and the 

 shrub is coarse, and in no degree attractive." (Bot. Mag., Nov.)

" It appears to thrive best in a somewhat sheltered situation, 

 though we believe it to be quite hardy. Any open loamy soil 

 will be found suitable; and, under favourable circumstances, it 

 will sometimes attain the height of 3 ft. or 4 ft., all its branches 

 being studded with flowers." The seeds ripen abundantly, and 

 the plant may be increased by them, or by " cuttings of the 

 young shoots, taking care to avoid those which evince any dis- 

 position to flower." (Paxt. Mag. of Bot., Nov.)
