valuable acquisitions in this family; it appears to be in- 
termediate between P. ignescens and P. Barringtonii^ 
and was without doubt produced between them: it 
seems to be a free grower and an abundant flowerer, 
and continues in bloom for a long time; should it here- 
after produce perfect anthers, its flowers will be still 
finer: from its appearance we believe it to be as hardy 
as any of the genus, and requires the same treatment as 
the free-growing kinds : nothing will be more liable to 
injure it than too much wet in winter. Cuttings will 
root freely planted under hand-glasses, or in pots 
placed in a sheltered situation. 
Our drawing was taken at the nurseiy of Mr. 
Davey in June last.
