have examined. Style pale-coloured, very hairy. Stig¬ 
mas 5, purple, revolute, and fimbriate on the upper side. 
This splendid flowering plant is also of hybrid origin, 
and was raised from seed in the superb collection of 
R. H. Jenkinson, Esq., where it is known by the name 
of defiance; what its real parents were, is not easily as¬ 
certained, but its relationship with P. quercifolium and 
P. ignescens may be readily traced. It is of strong growth, 
and is as easily managed as any of the tribe to which it 
belongs, thriving well in a light sandy soil, and producing 
abundance of blossoms all the Summer. Cuttings of it 
strike root freely, when planted in pots in the same sort of 
soil, if placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse.
