Germen and aristce hairy. Style red, slightly hairy on

This pretty plant has lately been raised from seed 
by Mr. Colvill. It is nearer of kin to P. Seymourice than 
to any other with which we are acquainted. We have 
named it in honour of Miss Lousada, a great encourager 
of Natural History, and of Botany in particular, and 
whose extensive herbarium of well-preserved specimens 
does her much credit. It is a hardy, free-growing 
kind, but seldom exceeds eighteen inches in height, 
and continues to flower in succession throughout the 
summer. A mixture of loam and peat, or decayed 
leaves, suit it very well; and a common greenhouse, 
or window of a warm room, is sufficient to protect it 
in winter, when it requires but little water. Cuttings 
strike root freely, planted in pots, and placed in a 
shady situation. 
The drawing was taken at the nursery of Messrs. 
Colvill and Son, in September last.
