petals : lower ones narrowly liguiate, rather lighter than the 
upper ones, and marked with two dark lines from the base. 
Filaments 10, united at the base, 7 bearing anthers, which 
are always imperfect. Style pale-coloured, densely hairy. 
Stigmas 5, purple, reflexed. 
This handsome plant is also a hybrid production, and 
was raised from seed in the collection of R. H. Jenkinson, 
Esq.; it is most probably the produce of P .fulgidum, or 
a mule produced from it, and had been fertilized by the 
pollen of some species of Ho are a : like the other tuberous- 
rooted sorts, it requires to be grown in a light sandy soil, 
and will succeed well grown in a border of light earth in the 
open ground, in Summer, in the same way as we have men¬ 
tioned, under some other species lately published ; all the 
tuberous-rooted sorts may be grown in that way, where 
they will continue to bloom the whole of the Summer; and 
nothing would have a finer appearance, than a bed or two 
of the various sorts intermixed together, where they will re¬ 
quire nothing but to be kept free from weeds, and to be 
watered occasionally if they require it; the roots can then 
be taken up before the frost sets in, and must be kept in a 
dry place out of the reach of frost till the following Spring, 
when they must be planted again, as soon as the weather 
permits ; if a slight frost occurs after they are planted, the 
beds can be covered with mats while it lasts: the present 
plant is readily increased by the little tubers of its roots.
