This plant without doubt is of hybrid origin, and in 
habit approaches P. cucullatum. The leaves are also 
nearer to that than any other with which we are ac- 
quainted, but much more undulated, and not so deeply 
toothed: its flowers are very different in every respect, 
approaching nearest to P. soluhile of any we know, 
but the habit of the plant and foliage differ altogether 
from that: it is a robust and free growing plant, be- 
ginning to flower early in spring, and continuing in full 
bloom till late in autumn: it is as hardy a kind as any 
of the genus, and will thrive well in a light loamy soil, 
or a mixture of loam and decayed leaves will suit it very 
well. Cuttings root freely planted under a hand-glass, 
or in pots placed in a sheltered situation. It belongs to 
the same group as P. cardiifolium, &c. 
Our drawing was taken at Mr. Davey's nursery in 
October last.
