in the King's Road, where it was raised from seed. It 
is of hybrid origin, and is related to P. lanceolatum and 
P. glaucoides : it also bears some affinity to P. penicil- 
latum; but we cannot determine its parents with any 
certainty. It seems to be of free growth, and conti- 
nues in bloom for a length of time ; and as it is so 
dissimilar from most others, it makes a pleasing va- 
riety. It will thrive well in a mixture of light loam 
and peat, or any other rich vegetable soil, and appears 
to be as hardy as any of the genus. Cuttings of it 
will strike root readily, if planted in pots and placed 
in a sheltered situation.
