a lighter colour, marked with darker veins. Filaments 10, 
connected at the base, 7 bearing anthers: pollen orange-co¬ 
loured. Style bright purple, hairy towards the base, and 
smooth upwards. Stigmas 5, dark purple, with revolute 
points. 
This handsome plant must not be confused with the 
one sold under the name of P .flagrans in the gardens, that 
being P . Southcoteanum, which we published from a plant 
of Mrs. More’s long since. 
This is of hybrid origin, and was raised from seed last 
year at the Nursery of Mr. Dennis, Grosvenor Row, 
Chelsea, where our drawing was made; we are not certain 
what were its parents; one of them, from its soft leaves, 
and large dark spot in the centre, might probably be P. ml- 
losum, or a seedling from it; the present is a very fine 
flower, and will doubtless be much sought after by ama¬ 
teurs ; but it will probably be scarce for some time, as Mr. 
Dennis informs us he has no stock of it yet; from its habit 
we see it will require a light sandy soil, or a mixture of light 
turfy loam, peat, and sand, will suit it very well. Cuttings, 
planted in pots in the same sort of soil, and placed on a 
shelf in the Greenhouse, will soon strike root.
