and smooth upwards. Stigmas 5, purple, reflexed, the up¬ 
per side fimbriate. 
The present plant is a hybrid production, and is one of 
those that has originated from P. grandiflorum , perhaps 
by being muled several times over; it is related to P. ser- 
ratifolium, and also to P. amplissimum, and several other 
sorts, that have originally sprung from P. grandiflorum; 
it is of strong growth, and will thrive in any rich light soil, 
and continues to flower, successively, all the Summer; it is 
also a hardy sort, requiring only a common greenhouse, or 
warm light room, to protect it through the Winter. Cuttings 
of it strike root freely, if planted in pots, and placed in a 
sheltered situation. 
Our drawing was taken from a plant sent us from the 
Nursery of Mr. Russell, of Battersea, in June last.
