Style purple, thickly covered with short stiff hairs. Stig-

This neat little plant is of hybrid origin, and is the 
produce of Dimacria pinnata that had been fertilized by 
H. reticulata; it is related to H. venosa, already pub- 
lished by us, but is sufficiently distinct ; it is an abundant 
flowerer, beginning to bloom in March, and continuing in 
flower till August ; like the other plants of this genus, it 
succeeds best in an equal mixture of light turfy loam, peat, 
and sand, requiring no water when in a dormant state ; 
but as soon as it shows an inclination to grow, it should be 
shifted into fresh mould, and as it grows, will need a con- 
stant supply of water ; the best method of propagating it 
is by the little tubers of its roots. 
Drawn at the Nursery of Mr. Colvill, last Autumn, 
where it was raised from seed ip 1823.
