Our drawing of this pretty plant was taken last 
summer in the collection of Robert Henry Jenkinson, 
Esq. It is of hybrid origin, but what its real parents 
were it is difficult to determine. The leaves are nearer 
like P. Breesianum than any other, and the flowers are 
not very different from P. Broughtonice. We have no 
doubt but it is the produce of hybrids for several gene- 
rations. 
A very free-growing plant, thriving well in a mix- 
ture of light turfy loam, peat, and sand, or any other 
light vegetable soil, producing its elegant flowers ail 
tlie summer, and till late in autumn ; and may be 
readily increased by cuttings, planted in pots in the 
same sort of soil, and placed in a sheltered situation.
