appearance of the latter. Rubescens originated betwixt speciosa and Lindleyana, 
and has very bright-coloured large flowers, with an upright habit, and shining 
foliage. Delicata is perhaps the most decided novelty, and certainly the most 
beautiful amongst them ; it combines the form of alba with much of the delicate 
colouring of its other parent rosea. The inner surface of its spreading limb is of 
the richest bright silky texture, and the flower being upright instead of pendulous, 
this portion is exposed to view. It has a more elegant and lively appearance than 
the others. Ferruginea sprung from alba and Grevillii, and is a free bloomer. 
Pallida is a fine long creamy flower, with an excellent character of growth. It 
was produced from rufa and alba, and flowers very copiously. 
By grafting or inarching, all these varieties might easily be had on one plant, 
something after the manner in which our artist has shown them in the plate. Or 
a number of the new kinds that approach each other in character might be thus 
grown in the same space that would be required for one, using a good-sized plant 
of some of the common sorts as a stock.
