near the base, also veined at the back. Filaments 10, united 
at the base, 7 bearing anthers: pollen dark orange-colour. 
Style purple, slightly hairy at the base, and smooth up¬ 
wards. Stigmas 5, purple, reflexed or revolute, fimbriate on 
the upper side. 
This fine plant is a hybrid production, and was raised 
from seed at the Nursery of Mr. Dennis, where our draw¬ 
ing was made last Summer; it is readily distinguished from 
its nearest relatives, by the numerous branching veins of its 
flowers. We are not certain from what it was produced, but 
it must have been from one of the strong growing sorts with 
one of the red ones. It will be a very desirable plant, as its 
flowers are produced in a sort of panicle similar to P. 
Broughtonice, so that it will, with proper management, be 
covered with flowers all the Summer: to secure this the 
flowering branches must be cut off as soon as they have done 
flowering, the plant will then produce new shoots, which will 
continue to bloom in succession. It will thrive well in a mix¬ 
ture of light turfy loam, peat, and sand, or any other light 
sandy soil; and young cuttings soon strike root if planted 
in pots in the same sort of soil, and placed on a shelf in the 
Greenhouse.
