quite smooth upwards. Stigmas 5, reddish and re- 
volute. 
Our drawing was taken from a fine flowering spe- 
cimen communicated to us by Sir R. C. Hoare, from 
his magnificent and extensive collection. We believe 
it to be a mule production, but it is quite impossible 
to trace its origin. It is a very pretty plant and an 
abundant bloomer, and will thrive well in a mixture of 
turfy loam and peat, or any light vegetable mould ; 
and cuttings soon strike root planted under hand- 
glasses, or in pots placed in a shady situation.
