This handsome plant is also of hybrid origin, and was 
raised from seed by Sir R. C. Hoare, who has named it 
in compliment to his friend A. B. Lambert, Esq. and 
from a fine plant communicated to us from Sir Ri- 
chard's superb collection, our drawing and description 
were taken. It seems to be allied to _P. acerifolium, 
scabrum, or some of that group ; but it is impossible 
to trace its origin with certainty. It makes a pretty 
compact bush, and flowers abundantly for the greater 
part of the year; it also differs considerably from 
most others in habit, which makes it desirable. The 
best soil for it is a mixture of rather more than half 
light turfy loam, and peat or decayed leaves. Cut- 
tings root freely planted in pots in the same kind of 
soil if placed in a sheltered situation.
