with a longish unguis, white, tinged with blush, and marked 
with a dense cluster of dark purple lines, terminated in 
lilac, which are much branched, and extend above half 
way over the petals ; lower ones oblong, blunt, the mar- 
gins slightly notched, or uneven, of a pure white. Fila- 
ments 10, united at the base, 7 bearing anthers. Style 
purple, all over hairy. Stigmas 5, purple, reflexed. 
This pretty 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 in June last ; 
one of its parents, we should suspect, was P. innolucratum 
maximum, and the other, one of the smaller growing sorts ; 
but it is not easy to determine with certainty the precise 
species. It is a free growing plant, and as hardy as any 
one in the genus ; it is also a good flowerer, and thrives 
well in any rich light soil, or a mixture of turfy loam and 
peat will suit it very well. Cuttings will strike root freely, 
if planted in pots in the same sort of soil, and placed in a 
sheltered situation.
