Filaments 10, united at the base, 7 bearing anthers: 
pollen orange-coloured. Germen villous. Style quite 
smooth, purple. Stigmas 5, purple, spreading, their 
points revolute. 
This fine plant is of hybrid origin, and was raised from 
seed, at the Nursery of Mr. More, in the King's Road, 
Chelsea, where our drawing was made last Autumn. We 
cannot speak with precision as to its parents ; but from its 
habit it appears to be nearly intermediate between P. tri- 
umphans and P. ruhescens : it is a fine strong-growing 
plant and a free flowerer, and continues to bloom the 
greater part of the Summer ; it is also as hardy as any of 
the tribe, and grows readily in any rich light soil, or a 
mixture of sandy loam and peat will suit it very well. 
Cuttings root freely, planted in pots in the same sort of 
soil, and placed in a sheltered situation. 
Mr. More has succeeded in raising several other very 
fine hybrid sorts, which we shall soon take the oppor- 
tunity of publishing ; one in particular, that is intermediate 
between P. ignescens and a variety of P. quercifoliumy 
and which he calls his Victory, is of a most brilliant co- 
lour, which we should suppose was scarcely to be sur- 
passed.
