red, hairy on the lower part and smooth on the upper. 
Stigmas 5, purple, reflexed. 
This handsome plant is without doubt of hybrid 
origin, and was raised from seed by Sir R. C. Hoare; 
and from some fine flowering specimens communicated 
hy him, our drawing and description were taken : it 
appears to belong to the tribe allied to P. lanceolatum 
and maculatum ; it has also some affinity to P. ohtusi- 
lobvm, but is decidedly distinct from them all. It 
appears to be a free grower and an abundant bloomer, 
and will suceeed well in a mixture of sandy loam and 
peat. Cuttings will root freely, planted in pots and 
placed in a shady part of the greenhouse.
