with short lines of the same colour: lower petals ob¬ 
long or inclining to obovate, veined at the back. Fila¬ 
ments 10, connected at the base, 7 bearing anthers: 
pollen dark orange-coloured. Style purple, hairy nearly 
all its length. Stigmas 5, long, spreading, dark purple, 
revolute at the points. 
The present plant is of hybrid origin, and was 
raised from seed at the Nursery of Mrs. More, King’s- 
road, Chelsea, where our drawing was made last Sum¬ 
mer ; it is of strong growth; and when covered with its 
large handsome flowers, it makes a fine appearance, 
thriving well in a strong rich soil, and producing abun¬ 
dance of its showy flowers all the Summer; it is also 
very hardy, requiring nothing but to be protected from 
frost; so that it will succeed well in a common Green¬ 
house, or the window of a light room in Winter, water¬ 
ing it only when quite dry. Cuttings, planted in pots, 
in Spring or Summer, and placed in a shady situation, 
will soon strike root.
