in the centre, and numerous dark purple lines that branch 
all over the petals : lower petals obovately oblong, obtuse, 
of rather a lighter colour, also marked with numerous 
lines, that are branched upwards, particularly the outside 
ones. Filaments 10, connected at the base, 7 bearing an¬ 
thers : pollen orange-coloured. Style dark purple, hairy 
nearly all its length. Stigmas 5, dark purple, reflexed at 
the points. 
Our drawing of this pretty flowering sort, was taken 
from a plant kindly sent to us by Miss Burnett, of May 
Place, Kent. It is of hybrid origin, and was raised from 
seed last year in the collection of J. Fassett Burnett, Esq. 
It appears to be related to P. Watsoni and P. pulcherri- 
mum, and is probably intermediate between one of these 
and P. inscriptum, or some other lined petaled sort, from 
the singularity in the marking of its petals ; it makes a 
pretty variety, thriving well in a rich light soil; and young 
cuttings will root readily, if planted in pots, and placed in 
a sheltered situation.
