This very handsome plant is a hybrid production, and 
was raised from seed at the Nursery of Mr. Dennis, where 
our drawing was made in August last; it is most probably 
the produce of P .fulgidum, or of some one nearly related; 
it is also allied to P. lawijlorum, but is a very distinct and 
a very elegant plant, and produces a great abundance of 
flowers. We have named it in compliment to Mr. G. 
Charlwood, an assiduous Botanist, and a great promoter 
of the science. 
Like the rest of the tribe to which the present plant is 
related, it succeeds best in a light sandy soil, and requires 
but little water in Winter; the pots must also be well 
drained, that the wet may pass off readily; young cuttings, 
planted in pots, and placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse, 
will root freely.
