This handsome plant is a hybrid production, and 
was raised from seed last year, in the superb collection 
of Robert H. Jenkinson, Esq. where our drawing was 
taken in June last; we believe it to be the largest- 
flowered kind that has been raised ; We suspect its 
parents are P. crenceflorum (descended from P. grandi- 
jflorum) and P. involucratum, y. incarnatum. In habit 
and general appearance it approaches nearest to P. in- 
volucratum, cc. maximum, but is readily distinguished by 
the following characters : in our plant the pedicles are 
twice the length of the cordate bractes, and the calyx 
is about the same length as the netariferous tube, in P. 
involucratum, a. ; the bractes are ovate and longer than 
the pedicles, and the nectariferous tube is shorter than 
the calyx: besides the difference in the leaves, it is a 
veiy free growing kind, and an abundant flowerer, 
and will therefore be a great acquisition to the culti- 
vators of Geraniaceee. It grows freely in a mixture of 
turfy loam and peat, and cuttings will root readily in 
the same kind of soil, if placed in a sheltered situ- 
ation.
