feet. Style purple, hairy all over. Stigmas 5, purple, 
reflexed. 
The present plant differs considerably from all others 
to which it is related by its broad obovate petals, which are 
more like P. elegans than any other with which we are 
acquainted, though the plant is not in the least related to 
that species; it is of hybrid origin, but we cannot say from 
what sorts it has been produced; it is very hardy, and of 
free growth, and only requires protection from frost in 
Winter, thriving well in any rich light soil. Young cuttings 
root readily, placed in a shady situation. 
Our drawing was taken from a plant sent to us by Mr. 
Dennis, from his Nursery at Chelsea, in May last.
