anthers : pollen orange-coloured. Style purple, hairy about 
half way up, the upper part smooth. Stigmas 5, dark pur¬ 
ple, papillose on the upper side, reflexed at the points. 
This handsome plant is also a hybrid production, and 
was raised from seed in the superb collection of R. H. 
Jenkinson, Esq.; the seed was produced by P. Jenkinsom, 
that had been fertilized by some darker-flowered sort; but 
we cannot refer exactly to the species; it is a very free 
growing plant, and will be a great acquisition to the collec¬ 
tors of this tribe, from its handsome dark flowers, which 
are produced in abundance; it flowered for the first time 
in August last, and has continued in bloom ever since, thri¬ 
ving w r ell in a light rich soil; it will also prove to be one of 
the hardiest sorts, that require only to be protected from 
the frost in Winter; young cuttings strike root freely, plant¬ 
ed in pots, and placed in a shady situation. 
Our drawing was made from a plant in Mr. Jenkinson’s 
Garden, in September last.
