redder, very faintly 5-nerved underneath. Filaments 10, 
united at the base, 7 bearing perfect anthers: pollen orange- 
coloured. Style purple, very hairy above half way up, the 
upper part smooth. Stigmas 5, purple, reflexed or revolute, 
fimbriate on the upper side. 
Our drawing of this grand plant was made last Autumn 
at the Nursery of Mrs. More, in the King’s Road, Chelsea, 
where it was raised from seed; it is of hybrid origin, and 
from the shape of the leaves, and size of the flowers, must 
have been between one of the large sorts with one of the 
bright red ones : the plant from which our drawing was 
taken, was entirely covered with its splendid flowers, which 
made a most magnificent appearance. It requires the same 
sort of treatment as the others of this tribe, but is rather 
tender; a mixture of light turfy loam, peat, and sand, will 
suit it very well; and cuttings, planted in pots in the same 
sort of soil, and placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse, will 
root readily, but care must be taken that the pots are well 
drained, or they will be very liable to rot,
