ACHIMENES VENUSTA. 
For the opportunity of figuring the above four hybrids, we are indebted to the 
kindness of Messrs. Backhouse, of York, in whose nursery they were raised from 
seeds, and flowered profusely in August, 1847, when our drawing was made. 
The cultivation is the same in every respect as that of A. patens, Mag. Bot., 
V. xiii., t. 197. 
The derivation of the generic name is unknown.
