Our drawing of the present plant was taken last Sum¬ 
mer, at the Nursery of Mr. Dennis, at Chelsea, where it 
was raised from seed; it is of hybrid origin, and appears to 
be nearly intermediate between P. cucullatum and P. car- 
diifolium , agreeing with the former in its hollow leaves, 
which are however much more pointed; and with the lat¬ 
ter in the shape of the flowers, which are larger than either 
of the above species. It is a strong growing hardy plant, of 
easy culture, thriving well in a rich light soil, and only re¬ 
quiring to be protected from frost. Cuttings of it root rea¬ 
dily, planted in pots, and placed in a sheltered situation, or 
it may be increased by cuttings of the roots; those planted 
in pots, with their tops above the ground, will soon make 
nice young plants.'
