the point. Filaments 10, united into a tube, 7 only bearing 
anthers. Style purple, hairy at the base, and smooth up¬ 
wards. Stigmas 5, purple, the points reflexed. 
This very beautiful and distinct plant is a hybrid pro¬ 
duction, and is nearer related to P. mucronatum , than to 
any other with which we are acquainted. Our drawing was 
made from a fine plant at the Nursery of Mr. Dennis, at 
Chelsea, in June last. It is of free growth, and a fine 
bloomer; and when in full flower makes a grand appear¬ 
ance, thriving well in any rich light soil, or a mixture of 
turfy loam, peat, and sand, will suit it very well. Cuttings 
will root readily, planted in pots in the same sort of soil, 
and placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse.
