that has yet been produced. It was raised the year be- 
fore last at the Nursery of Mr. Colvill, from a seed of 
P. involucratum, a. maximum, that had been fertilized 
with the pollen of P. ignescens. It is as near as pos- 
sible intermediate between the two, the flowers being 
about the size of the former with the colour of the 
latter, except being a little lighter. The plant is of 
tolerably strong growth, and thrives well in a mixture 
of turfy loam, peat, and sand. Cuttings strike root 
freely, planted in pots and placed on a shelf in the 
greenhouse.
