Devon. It is a hybrid production ; and we are in- 
formed by the gardener, Mr. Saunders, that it was 
raised from the seed of P. muUiflorum ? that had been 
fertilized by P. Thynneoe. The P. muUiflorum of the 
gardens, which we suppose to be the plant referred to, 
is very badly named, there being scarcely a plant in 
the genus that produces fewer flowers ; it would there- 
fore be much better to name it P. paucjflorum, or P, 
diffusum from its spreading habit. 
The present subject is a pretty flowering plant, and 
produces abundance of bloom ; it is also a hardy 
sort, requiring only protection from frost, growing 
freely in a rich light soil. Cuttings may be rooted 
readily, if planted in pots and placed in a sheltered 
situation.
