base, 7 bearing anthers. Germen and aristce villous. 
Style very hairy. Stigmas 5, revolute. 
Our drawing was taken from a plant sent us by Sir 
R. C. Hoare, under the name that we have adopted ; it is 
of hybrid origin ; but what its parents were, is not easy 
to be ascertained ; it is related to P. hermannifolium, or 
perhaps to P. ternatum, and has most probably been 
mixed with one of the larger leaved sorts ; it is an abundant 
bloomer, and its habit, leaves, and flowers, are dissimilar 
to any other with which we are acquainted ; this makes it 
the more desirable ; it is also of free growth, thriving Avell 
in any rich light soil, or a mixture of sandy loam and peat 
suits it very well ; cuttings soon strike root, potted in the 
same sort of soil, and placed in a sheltered situation.
