the calyx, flattened on each side, of a brown purple colour. 
Petals 5, obovate, the two upper ones very broad and very 
unequal-sided near the base, overlapping each other a good 
deal, of a bright reddish purple, with a large dark velvetty 
patch in the centre, and numerous dark lines from the base, 
which branch all over the petals : lower petals narrower, 
equal-sided, spreading, of a rosy lilac, marked with faint 
red lines. Filaments 10, united in a tube at the base, very 
unequal in length, ascending, 7 bearing anthers : pollen 
orange-coloured. Style red, hairy near the base, and smooth 
upwards. Stigmas 5, red, reflexed. 
Our drawing was taken from a magnificent plant that 
was sent to us last month, in full bloom, from the Nursery 
of Mr. Joseph Knight, in the King’s Road; who had received 
it from the collection of Mr. Foljambe, of Osberton, near 
Retford, Nottinghamshire, where it was first raised from 
seed; and we have named it in compliment to Mrs. Fol¬ 
jambe ; the plant is a hybrid production, and its parents 
were probably of hybrid origin for several generations, so 
that we cannot say from what it had been produced, but 
there can be no doubt but one of the originals was from 
P. cordatum , as it still retains that habit; and the very 
large panicle of flowers, we believe, belongs to no other 
species; but the flowers themselves are quite changed from 
the original, both in form and colour, and are very different 
from most others, approaching nearer to our P. cemulum 
than to any other with which we are acquainted; being a 
strong grower, and such an abundant bloomer, will make it 
a very desirable plant; it will thrive well in any rich light 
soil; and cuttings will strike root freely, if planted in pots, 
and placed in a sheltered situation.
