hairy near the base, and smooth upwards. Stigmas 5, 
bright purple, fimbriate, with revolute points. 
This pretty light flowering plant is also of hybrid pro¬ 
duction, and is intermediate between the tribe to which 
P. macranthon belongs, and one of the red flowered 
sorts, but its real parents are not easily to be determined. 
It succeeds well in any rich light soil, or a mixture of sandy 
loam and peat will suit it very well; and being of strong 
growth, it will require a good supply of water. Guttings 
of it root readily, if planted in a sheltered situation. 
Our drawing was made from a plant sent us from the 
Nursery of Mr. Dennis, at Chelsea, in August last.
