Stigmas 5, long and spreading, dark purple, the points 
more or less reflexed. 
Our drawing of this plant was made last Summer, 
from one in full bloom, sent to us from the Nursery of 
Mr. Dennis, where it was raised from seed; it is of free 
growth, and continues to bloom all the Summer, and 
till late in Autumn, thriving well in any rich light soil, 
and only requiring to be protected from the frost in Win¬ 
ter. We are not certain what were its parents, but we 
should suspect it to have been one of the large growing 
sorts, and one of the smaller-leaved ones, as it is related 
to both of those tribes; it makes a very handsome ap¬ 
pearance when covered with its numerous flowers, which 
are produced in succession. Young cuttings, planted in 
pots, and placed in a sheltered shady situation, will soon 
strike root; and if planted in Spring, will make flower¬ 
ing plants for the same season.
