lobis : terminalibus trilobis dentatis, tubo nectari- 
fero calyce duplo longiori. 
Stern shrubby with few branches ; branches flexu- 
ose, a little swollen at the joints, smooth and glaucous. 
Leaves 3-parted, acute, smooth, a httle glaucous, with 
a few hairs scattered on the nerves : lower segments 
2-lobed, unequally and deeply toothed, upper one 3- 
lobed, also deeply and sharply toothed. Petioles very 
slender, slightly flattened on the upper side and 
rounded on the lower, thinly covered with short pellu- 
cid hairs. Stipules straight and rigid, lanceolate 
acute. Peduncles smooth and shining, cylindrical' 
several-flowered. Involucre of from 4 to 8 lanceolate 
acute bractes. Pedicles a little bent, smooth and 
shining. Cali/x 5-cleft, segments unequal, lanceolate, 
acute. Nectariferous tube more than twice the length 
of the calyx, flattened and furrowed on each side 
thinly covered with short pellucid hairs. Petals 5, of

This curious plant is of hybrid origin, and was 
raised by Edward Barnard, Esq. from the seed of P. 
grandiflorum mixed with the pollen of V.fulgidum. It 
is as near as possible intermediate between the two : 
the habit of the plant is chiefly that of the former!
