widely obovate, oblique, reflexed, back of a pale rose 
colour, front much lighter, with 2 bright purple lines 
from the base that are slightly branched ; lower petals 
with long ungues, broadly spatulate at the point and 
oblique, white or pale blush. Filaments 10, united at 
the base, or the lower ones sometimes divided, 7 fertile 
ones declining, bent in the middle, their points ascend- 
ing, sterile ones nearly equal, short and subulate. 
Germen villous. Style very long, bent like the fila- 
ments, hairy on the lower part and smooth on the up- 
per. Stigmas 5, purple, reflexed. 
In our account of J. quinata, supra fol. 79, we had 
proposed this as a distinct genus, under the name of 
Chorisma, but we find the principal character on which 
our generic distinction was fixed to be variable in dif- 
ferent flowers on the same plant, some having the 
lower filaments divided to the base, and others con- 
nected into a tube ; we therefore consider it a good 
species of Jenkmsonia: the species, also, which we 
enumerated in our account of P. coriandri/oUum, supra 
fol. 34, will also rank very well as a different section of 
the same genus, 
Our drawing was taken this summer at the exten- 
sive collection of Robert H. Jenkinson, Esq. The va- 
riegated variety at the side of the other, differs only in 
the variegation of its leaves, which, when grown luxu- 
riantly, it loses altogether ; the best method to preserve 
its variegation is to grow it in very sandy peat, but in 
our opinion it is handsomest in its green state : the best 
soil for it is an equal portion of loam, peat, and sand, th e 
same as recommended for the other succulent species, 
and to be grown in a dry airy situation. Cuttings roo»t 
readily, planted in the same kind of soil, and placed 
on a shelf in the greenhouse.
