This pretty little plant is known by the appellation 
of Angelina in many of our collections ; it comes nearest 
to P. pulchellum of the Supplement to Willdenow*s 
Enum. 'plant, but differs in several particulars ; we sus- 
pect it to be of hybrid origin, but we cannot guess with 
what species it may have originated. It makes a com- 
pact little bush if properly managed, and produces 
abundance of its pretty dark flowers till late in autumn, 
which makes it desirable, especially as it takes up little 
room, and may be grown in a small pot: it thrives well 
in any light vegetable mould, or a mixture of loam and 
decayed leaves suits it very well. Cuttings root freely 
under a hand-glass, or in pots placed in a shady situa- 
tion. 
Our drawing was taken at Mr. Colvill's nursery in 
October last.
