with the pollen of some other species, but what that 
was we are at a loss to guess. It was first raised by 
Mr. Potter, in the collection of Mrs. Simpson, at 
Purser s Cross, near Fulham. We find it to be more 
tender than the generality of its relatives, being very 
apt to lose a great part of its foliage in winter, if not 
kept in a warm situation : too much wet is also very 
injurious to it, but in summer it grows very luxu- 
riantly, and its flowers are much finer when growing 
out in the open air ; these are produced in abundance 
all the summer and till late in autumn. The best soil 
to grow it in is an equal portion of turfy loam, peat, 
and sand. Cuttings strike root readily, if planted in 
pots and placed on a shelf in the greenhouse. 
Our drawing was taken from a fine plant in the 
collection of Mr. Colvill, King's Road, Chelsea, in 
October last.
