hairs. Stigmas 5 , reflexed, and fimbriate on the upper side 
with purple fringe. 
Our drawing of this pretty plant was taken last Sum¬ 
mer, at the Nursery of Mrs. More, in the King’s-road, 
Chelsea, where it was raised from seed; it is of hybrid ori¬ 
gin, and apparently intermediate between V.fulgidum and 
one of the larger flowered sorts, being nearest related to 
P. laociflvrum; but is readily distinguished from that, and 
the different varieties of P . ignescens, by the absence of 
the dark spot on the upper petals, besides the different dis¬ 
tinguishing character. It appears to grow very freely, and 
continues to bloom the greater part of the Summer, suc¬ 
ceeding well in a mixture of light turfy loam, peat, and sand, 
requiring but little Water in Winter. Cuttings of it root 
freely, if planted in pots, and placed on a shelf in the 
Greenhouse.
