unguis, of a dark crimson colour, nearly black at the 
base, but much lighter on the back side, lower petals 
broadly spatulate, very obtuse, of a light flesh colour 
or deep blush. Filaments 10, -United into a tube, 
thickly covered with short hairs, 5 only bearing an- 
thers, and these were imperfect in all the specimens we 
have examined; two upper barren filaments much 
longer than the others and recurved, of a flesh colour. 
Germen villous. Aristoe spiral, bearded inwards, very 
hairy. Style red, very hairy below and smooth above. 
Stigmas 5, red, reflexed. 
Our drawing of this new and beautiful plant was 
taken from a fine specimen communicated by Messrs. 
Sweet's and Miller, of the Bristol Nursery, where it 
was raised from seed. From its anthers being always 
without pollen, we conclude it is a hybrid production, 
yet it will seed freely if it be set with the pollen of any 
of the same tribe; consequently the young plants raised 
from these, will all be different from the parent, and 
we expect some of them will be very handsome. 
This appears to be one of the easiest management 
of the whole genus, that we have met with ; it thrives 
in an equal mixture of turfy loam, peat, and sand, 
and flowers abundantly all the summer. Cuttings strike 
very readily, taken off in the young wood and planted 
in pots, which must be placed in a shady part of the 
greenhouse.
