Style dark red, hairy on the lower part, and smooth on 
the upper. Stigmas 5, purple, reflexed. 
This fine plant is of hybrid origin, and was raised 
from seeds by Messrs. Colvill and Son, at whose nur- 
sery our drawing was taken. We have named it in 
honour of Mrs. Seymour, of Woburn^ Bedfordshire, a 
great admirer of plants and an encourager of botanical 
science. In habit it approaches to some of the Citron- 
scented kinds, but the flowers are nearer related to P. 
solubile: it is nearer of kin to P. Lousadianum than 
any other with which we are acquainted ; but in that 
the leaves have much longer teeth, and the nectari- 
ferous tube is nearly twice the length, besides the very 
different colour of the flowers. It is a very hardy free 
growing sort, requiring only a common greenhouse or 
light room to protect it from the frost in winter; a 
mixture of loam and peat, or decayed leaves, suits it 
very well, and cuttings are easily rooted, if planted 
in pots in the same kind of soil, and placed in a shady 
situation.
