pale red, hairy at the base and smooth upwards. Stig- 
mas 5, reflexed. 
Our drawing of this very pretty plant was taken 
from a fine specimen at the Nursery of Mr. Colvill, 
where it was raised from a seed of P. ornatum mixed 
with the pollen of one of the larger sorts, perhaps P. 
platypetalum. It grows to the height of three feet, and 
is very bushy, bearing abundance of flowers all the 
summer. It succeeds well in a mixture of turfy loam 
and peat, or any other rich vegetable soil ; and cut- 
tings root freely, if planted in pots and placed on a 
shelf in the greenhouse.
