parent below the centre, and marked with numerous dark 
lines, that are slightly branched: lower petals narrower, 
oblongly wedge-shaped, rather lighter in colour. Ftla¬ 
ments 10, connected at the base, 7 bearing anthers. Style 
flesh-coloured, hairy nearly all its length. Stigmas 5, pur¬ 
ple, reflexed or revolute. 
The present fine flowering plant is a hybrid production, 
and was raised from seed by Mr. W. Smith, in the collec¬ 
tion of the Earl of Liverpool, at Coombe-wood; being of 
strong growth and an abundant bloomer, it may be consi¬ 
dered as one of the first rate sorts ; thriving well in a rich 
light soil; or a mixture of light turfy loam, peat, and sand, 
will suit it very well; young cuttings, planted in pots, and 
placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse, will soon strike root. 
Our drawing was made in September last, from a plant 
at the Nursery of Mr. W. Russell, of Battersea.
