white, with three or four purple lines from the base, which 
extend about half-way up the petals. Filaments 10, con¬ 
nected at the base, seven bearing anthers : pollen orange- 
coloured. Style dark purple, smooth, or with one or two 
hairs near the base. Stigmas 5, dark purple, spreading, the 
points reflexed or revolute. 
Our drawing of this fine plant was made in October 
last, in the collection of the Earl of Liverpool, at Coombe- 
wood, where it was raised from seed by Mr. Smith; it is a 
hybrid production, and appears to be intermediate between 
P. macranthon and one of the smaller growing sorts, as the 
plant is not of very strong growth, but its branches spread 
considerably, the flowers are very large, and make a fine 
appearance when in full bloom. It succeeds well in any 
rich light soil, and young cuttings root freely, if planted in 
the same sort of soil, and placed in a sheltered situation. 
We have named it in compliment to Mr. William 
Prince, Nurseryman at Flushing, Long-Island, near New- 
York, in North America, who possesses one of the best 
collections of plants and trees in that country, and exports 
a great number to Europe annually.
