lines, slightly branched : lower petals pale blush, strongly 
veined with light veins. Filaments 10, connected at the 
base, 7 bearing anthers. Style red, not hairy, but smooth 
its whole length. Stigmas 5, very long, light purple, slightly 
fimbriate, the points re volute. 
The present fine plant is a hybrid production, and was 
raised from seed at the Nursery of Mr. W. Russell, at Bat¬ 
tersea, last Spring, and flowered the following Autumn, 
when our drawing was made. It appears to be interme¬ 
diate between P. grandidentatum and one of the large red 
flowered sorts; as it is of free growth, and flowers so soon, 
and so abundantly, it will be a very desirable plant, thri¬ 
ving well in a rich light soil; and young cuttings, planted 
in pots, and placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse, will soon 
strike root.
