thers. Pollen orange-coloured. Capsules and aristae

Our drawing of this pretty plant was taken from a 
fine specimen communicated by Messrs. Sweet's and 
Miller, from their extensive collection at the Bristol 
nursery. We suppose it to be a hybrid production, 
being nearly related to P. crispum, also to P. herman- 
niifolium and several others: it is a hardy greenhouse 
plant, and takes up but little room, as it may be grown 
in a small pot: it continues to flower in succession 
nearly all the summer; a mixture of loam and peat, 
or decayed leaves, suits it very well, or any other light 
vegetable mould; and young cuttings root freely 
planted in pots and placed in a sheltered situation.
