pale blush. Filaments 10, connected at the base, 7 bearing 
anthers: pollen orange-coloured. Style purple, smooth all 
its length. Stigmas 5, dark purple, reflexed or revolute. 
Our drawing w r as taken, in August last, from a plant sent 
us by Mr. Dennis, from his collection in Grosvenor Row, 
Chelsea; it is a hybrid production, and belongs to the same 
tribe as P. macranthon and several others of the glossy¬ 
leaved sorts; but we cannot say what were positively its pa¬ 
rents. It is of strong growth, and an abundant bloomer; 
and the bright blood-coloured spot in the centre of the pe¬ 
tals gives it a pleasing appearance; it will thrive well in any 
rich light soil, and may be preserved in a common Green¬ 
house, or good light room through the Winter: young 
cuttings, plantecj in pots, and placed in a shady situation, 
will strike root readily.
