united at the base, seven bearing anthers. Style short, 
purple, slightly hairy at the base, and smooth upwards. 
Stigmas 5, purple, reflexed. 
This very distinct and truly curious plant is a hybrid 
production, the produce of P. australe, t. 68, that had 
been fertilized by the pollen of P. incisum or P. canescens, 
and partakes, in an equal degree, of both. In this 
plant we have the New Holland and Cape species in- 
termixed ; the only instance of the kind that we are at 
present acquainted with. Although an hybrid from 
two such distinct species, it is of as free growth as 
either of them, and forms a larger and stronger bush ; 
thriving well in a mixture of turfy loam, peat, and 
sand, or any other light rich soil. Cuttings of it strike 
root freely, planted in pots and placed on a shelf in the 
greenhouse. 
Our drawing was taken from a plant in the superb 
collection of Robert Henry Jenkinson, Esq. ; where it 
was raised from seed that had been produced from his 
plants.
