loured, hairy at the base and smooth upwards. Stig- 
mas 5, purple, reflexed. 
The present subject is of hybrid origin, and was 
raised, in the collection of R. Henry Jenkinson, Esq. 
from a seed of P. amplissimum, most probably fer- 
tilized with the pollen of P. electum, or some nearly 
related sort. It is a very desirable plant on account of 
its abundance of bloom, which continues in succession 
all the summer : it is also more hardy than P. grandi- 
jlo7mm, to which it is also allied ; and succeeds well in 
a common greenhouse, growing freely in a rich light 
soil. Cuttings strike root readily, if planted in pots 
and placed in a sheltered situation. 
Our drawing was made from a fine plant, in the 
collection of R. Henry Jenkinson, Esq. last summer.
