This curious plant is a hybrid production, and one 
of its parents we suspect to be P. lineatwn : the other 
must be one of a larger tribe ; but what it really was, 
is at present unknown to us. 
Our drawing was taken from a fine plant, in the 
collection of Robert H. Jenkinson, Esq. where it was 
raised from seed, and continues covered with its ele- 
gant flowers nearly all the summer. It also makes a 
snug bushy plant if managed well, not being of so 
luxuriant growth as many others ; and is therefore better 
adapted for a small greenhouse. It thrives well in a 
mixture of light turfy loam and peat, or any other 
light vegetable mould ; and cuttings soon strike root, 
if planted in pots and placed in a sheltered situation.
