Several plants of this handsome mule were raised 
last year from seeds at the Nursery of Messrs. Colvill ; 
and others were also raised in the collection of Robert 
H. Jenkinson, Esq. None of them varied in the least 
from each other. They were the produce of the com- 
mon P. capitatum that had been mixed with the pollen 
of P. ignescens. The flower of the larger variety, given 
at the bottom of the plate, was raised by Mr. Jenkin- 
son from the seed of a larger flowered variety of P. 
capitatum also impregnated by P. ignescens. They are 
both very handsome and abundant flowering plants, 
and are well adapted for training to a trellis, as their 
shoots grow to a great length if allowed. They are 
very abundant bloomers, and continue to flower till 
late in autumn : they are also as hardy as any of their 
near relatives, suffering more from too much wet than 
from any thing besides. A mixture of turfy loam, 
peat, and sand, suits them very well; and cuttings 
strike freely if placed in a sheltered situation.
