with white about the centre: lower petals oblongly 
obovate, of rather a lighter colour, strongly nerved at 
the back, the veins much branched. Filaments 10, as¬ 
cending, united at the base, 7 bearing anthers: pollen 
orange-coloured. Style purple, hairy at the base and 
smooth upwards. Stigmas 5, very long, spreading, dark 
purple, the points reflexed or re volute. 
The present plant is a hybrid production, and was 
raised from seed at the Nursery of Mrs. More, in the 
King’s-road, Chelsea, where our drawing was made 
last Summer; it is of strong growth, and an abundant 
bloomer, and belongs to the same tribe as P. cucullatum 
and P . Barringtonii, thriving well in any rich light soil, 
and requiring nothing but a common Greenhouse, or 
warm light room, to preserve it through the Winter, as 
it only wants to be protected from frost; young cut¬ 
tings, planted in pots, and placed in a sheltered situa¬ 
tion, will soon strike root.
