The present beautiful plant is of hybrid origin, and was 
raised at the Nursery of Mr. W. Russell, at Battersea, last 
Spring, from a seed of P. latilobum , that appears to have 
been fertilized by one nearly related to P. Barringtonii, as 
it is nearly intermediate between them. It is of free strong 
upright growth, and will be a valuable acquisition to our 
collections, thriving well in any rich light soil; and young 
cuttings, planted in pots in the same sort of soil, will strike 
root readily, if placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse. 
Our drawing was made from a plant sent to us in full 
bloom from the Nursery of Mr. Russell, in October last.
