est, obovate, unequal-sided, the points reflexed, of a pale 
salmony red, with a dark velvet patch in the centre, and 
numerous dark lines that branch all over the petals, and 
are lightest towards the edges: lower petals much nar¬ 
rower, oblongly obovate, bright lilac marked with darker 
veins. Filaments 10, connected at the base, 7 bearing 
anthers: pollen orange-coloured. Style purple, slightly 
hairy towards the base, and smooth upwards. Stigmas 5, 
dark purple, the points revolute. 
This is also a hybrid production, and was raised at the 
Nursery of Mr. Dennis, from a seed of P. ramigerum , 
that, from the habit of the plant, appears to have been fer¬ 
tilized by the pollen of P. JDennisianum, or some nearly 
related sort. It is of strong growth, very hardy, and like its 
parent a very abundant bloomer, thriving well in any light 
rich soil, and continuing in flower the greater part of the 
year. Young cuttings, planted in pots in the same sort of 
soil, and placed in a shady situation, will soon strike root. 
Our drawing was made from a plant in the collection 
of Mr. Dennis, in June last.
