without doubt of hybrid origin, but it would be difficult 
to guess at its parents with any certainty. It is allied 
in flower to P. bellulum, but is a much stronger grow- 
ing plant, and the leaves are very different. The 
marking of the petals is not unlike P. Daveyanum, but 
every other part of the plant is totally dissimilar. It is 
a free-growing plant and an abundant flowerer, and 
as hardy as any other of the genus ; a mixture of loam 
and peat mould suits it very well, and cuttings root 
readily, planted in pots in the same kind of soil, and 
placed in a sheltered situation.
