This plant is also of hybrid origin, and was raised at 
the Nursery of Mr. Colvill, from a seed of P. Smithii , 
that had been fertilized by one of the light-flowered sorts; 
it makes a pretty variety, and is of easy culture, succeeding 
well in any rich light soil, or a mixture of turfy loam, 
peat, and sand, will suit it very well; cuttings strike root 
readily, planted in pots in the same sort of soil, and placed 
on a shelf in the Greenhouse.
