We suspect this to be a hybrid production; but 
cannot trace the parents with any certainty ; it is in 
some degree related to P. grandiflorum, but there are 
several other hybrid kinds to which it is nearer akin; 
the form and colour of the flowers are very different, 
and the leaves are of a bright green colour, instead 
of being glaucous: it seems to be nearer to P. amplissi- 
mum of Willdenow's Enumeratio, than to any other 
we have seen described. 
Our drawing was taken from a fine sample in the 
collection of Robert H. Jenkinson, Esq. where it flow- 
ered in succession all the summer: it is a free-growing 
plant, and thrives in a mixture of turfy loam and 
peat, or decayed leaves. Cuttings root freely, planted 
in pots in the same kind of soil in a sheltered situation.
