blush. Filaments 10, united at the base, 7 bearing 
anthers. Style very hairy, pale pink colour. Stigmas 
5, purple, reflexed. 
This very handsome plant is of hybrid origin, and 
was raised from seed in the superb collection of Robert 
H. Jenkinson, Esq. It is related to P. Gardner ice or 
some of the tribe allied to P. maculatum, but we are 
not quite certain of its origin: it may certainly be 
ranked amongst the first-rate varieties, being of a 
middle stature as to size, and of handsome growth. 
Its leaves are very rigid, strongly and numerously 
nerved underneath, which adds to its elegance : it is 
also as hardy and of as easy culture as any of the 
genus, growing freely in a light turfy loam and peat, 
or any other rich vegetable mould ; and cuttings soon 
strike root in the same kind of soil, if placed in a 
sheltered situation. 
We have named it in compliment to Mr. Jenkinson, 
from whose collection our drawing and description 
were taken.
