e collection of 

 R. H. Measures, Esq., The Woodlands, Streatham, in 1893. Its origin is 

 a little doubtful, but it is thought to have been one of the late Mr. Hall's 

 seedlings, and its recorded parentage is P. bellatum crossed with the pollen 

 of P. Stonei. Its affinity with the former is obvious enough, but we have 

 always felt some doubt about the latter, whose influence ought to have 

 stamped itself much more strongly upon the shape of the flower. It is said

to have been an only plant, and it is curious that nothing which has been 

 recognised as identical has since appeared. It would be interesting to 

 repeat the cross, and let us know the result. There has been a suggestion 

 that P. callosum was the second parent, in which case P. X Wottoni 

 would be synonymous, but a comparison with the only figure available 

 hardly bears out the idea. In any case it is a charming little plant, but its 

 parentage can hardly be considered settled at present.
